Input/Output Block GE Fanuc IC660BBD120

GE Fanuc IC660BBD120 High-Speed Counter Block

Core Technical Specifications & Features

• The IC660BBD120 accepts 12 input signals within a 5V to 30V DC range.
• It achieves a maximum count rate of 200 kilohertz with the high-frequency filter selected.
• This module provides four configurable outputs (4.75V - 5.25V DC) and one 5VDC oscillator output.
• It supports direct processing mode, operating independently without constant CPU communication.
• Users can configure counting for up, down, quadrature, or difference between two values.
• The block can be powered by 115V AC or 10-30V DC, with dual-source backup capability.

Application & Configuration

• This high-speed counter is ideal for turbine flow meter reading, meter proving, and velocity measurement.
• It is perfectly suited for material handling systems and precision motion control applications.
• Configure the module to trigger outputs when counts reach preset thresholds.
• It supports 1, 2, or 4 independent counters of varying complexity within one block.
• Connect to the Genius I/O network and use a Hand-Held Monitor (HHM) for setup and diagnostics.

Physical & Environmental Specifications

• The module operates in temperatures from 0°C to 60°C (32°F to 140°F).
• Its storage temperature range is -40°C to 100°C (-40°F to 212°F).
• It tolerates 5% to 95% non-condensing humidity in both operation and storage.
• The block's dimensions are 8.83" x 3.50" x 3.94" (HxWxD), designed for panel mounting.
• It consists of a terminal base (IC660TBD120) and electronics assembly (IC660EBD120) for easy service.

Installation & Power Guidelines

• Mount the IC660BBD120 within a protective industrial enclosure to shield it from contaminants.
• Ensure adequate cooling space around the module for proper heat dissipation.
• Utilize the dual power input feature for increased system reliability; DC power maintains operation during AC failure.
• Wire the 12 inputs from sensors like encoders or proximity switches directly to the terminal base.
• The module connects directly to a Genius serial bus network, eliminating the need for a separate baseplate.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• Q: What is the maximum input frequency for the IC660BBD120?
  A: The IC660BBD120 can process high-speed inputs up to 200 kHz (200,000 pulses per second).
• Q: Can this module run without a central PLC CPU?
  A: Yes. Its direct processing engineering mode allows it to count and control outputs independently.
• Q: How many counters does this single block support?
  A: You can configure the module to operate as 1, 2, or 4 separate counters within one unit.
• Q: What are the input voltage requirements?
  A: The twelve input channels accept signals from 5V DC to 30V DC.
• Q: What power sources does it accept?
  A: The block can be powered by 115V AC or 10-30V DC, and can use both simultaneously for backup.
