Description

GE IC660TBD024 Transistor Output Module

Product Overview

The GE IC660TBD024 is a high-reliability Transistor Output Module designed for industrial automation systems, serving as a key component of GE’s 90-30 Series PLC platform. Engineered to convert digital control signals from the PLC into electrical outputs for driving solenoids, relays, and other low-power loads, this module ensures precise and durable operation in harsh industrial environments. As part of the IC660 Series, the IC660TBD024 offers seamless integration with other 90-30 Series components, such as CPU modules and input modules, enabling scalable and robust control solutions for manufacturing, power generation, and process industries.

 

Featuring a rugged industrial design, the GE IC660TBD024 supports 16 isolated transistor output channels, each capable of switching 24 V DC loads up to 2 A. Its sinking output configuration (NPN) ensures compatibility with a wide range of field devices, while built-in transient suppression diodes protect against voltage spikes, extending the module’s lifespan and reliability. The module’s LED indicators provide real-time status feedback for each channel, simplifying troubleshooting and maintenance. With a wide operating temperature range (-40°C to +70°C) and compliance with industry standards like IEC 61131-2, the IC660TBD024 is ideal for applications requiring continuous operation in challenging environments, such as offshore platforms, refineries, and heavy manufacturing facilities.

 

In automation ecosystems, the IC660TBD024 acts as the interface between the PLC and field actuators, translating control logic into physical actions. Its hot-swappable design allows for module replacement without powering down the system, minimizing downtime during maintenance. By combining high-density output channels with advanced diagnostic capabilities, this module enhances system efficiency and reduces overall cost of ownership, making it a cornerstone of reliable industrial control strategies.

Key Features and Advantages

High-Density Output Channels: The IC660TBD024 supports 16 output channels in a compact form factor, maximizing space efficiency in control panels. This density is ideal for applications requiring multiple actuator controls, such as conveyor systems or robotic arms.

 

Robust Transistor Design: Each channel features a silicon transistor output with surge protection, capable of handling inductive loads up to 50 VA. The built-in transient suppression diodes protect against voltage spikes from inductive devices like solenoids, reducing the risk of module damage.

 

Real-Time Diagnostics: LED indicators for each channel provide instant visual feedback on output status (on/off), while the module’s diagnostic circuitry monitors for open circuits, short circuits, and overcurrent conditions. This proactive monitoring reduces troubleshooting time and enhances system availability.

 

Hot-Swap Capability: The module can be replaced while the PLC is running, allowing maintenance without interrupting operations. This feature is critical for 24/7 industrial processes where downtime translates to lost productivity.

 

Wide Environmental Tolerance: Designed to withstand extreme temperatures, vibration, and humidity, the IC660TBD024 ensures reliable performance in harsh environments. Its rugged enclosure and conformal-coated circuitry protect against dust, moisture, and corrosive elements.

 

Seamless System Integration: Compatible with GE’s 90-30 Series PLCs and programming software (e.g., VersaPro), the module simplifies system configuration and integration. It supports daisy-chaining with other IC660 modules, enabling scalable solutions for small to medium-sized control systems.

Application Areas

The GE IC660TBD024 is widely deployed in industries requiring reliable control of low-voltage devices:

 

  • Manufacturing: Controls conveyor belts, pneumatic valves, and robotic arm actuators in automotive, food & beverage, and pharmaceutical production lines, ensuring precise process timing and consistency.
  • Power Generation: Manages auxiliary systems in power plants, such as cooling fans, lubrication pumps, and circuit breaker controls, supporting continuous operation of generators and turbines.
  • Oil & Gas: Operates solenoid valves and motor starters in pipeline compression stations, refineries, and offshore platforms, enabling safe and efficient process control.
  • Water/Wastewater Treatment: Controls pumps, mixers, and clarifier mechanisms in water treatment plants, adapting to fluctuating flow rates and ensuring regulatory compliance.
  • Material Handling: Drives hoists, cranes, and automated storage systems in warehouses and logistics centers, optimizing throughput and reducing manual intervention.

 

Specific applications include:

 

  • Motor Control: Switches small motors and drives in packaging machinery, ensuring smooth start-stop operations and preventing overloads.
  • Valve Actuation: Controls pneumatic and hydraulic valves in chemical processing systems, maintaining precise flow rates and pressure levels.
  • Lighting and Alarm Systems: Manages indicator lights, buzzers, and emergency stop circuits in industrial control panels, enhancing operator safety and system visibility.

Installation and Maintenance

Pre-installation Preparations:
Before installing the GE IC660TBD024, ensure the 90-30 Series rack is properly grounded and powered. Verify that the module’s output voltage (24 V DC) matches the connected loads. Use shielded cables for field wiring to minimize electromagnetic interference, and route power and signal cables separately to avoid noise. Mount the module on a DIN rail or panel using the provided hardware, ensuring adequate spacing for heat dissipation. Configure the module in GE’s VersaPro software, assigning channel addresses and enabling diagnostic features as needed.

 

Maintenance Suggestions:

 

  • Routine Inspections: Perform monthly checks to verify LED status indicators and ensure all connections are secure. Use VersaPro to review module diagnostics for any fault codes, such as open circuits or overcurrent conditions.
  • Cleaning and Cooling: Quarterly, clean the module’s vents and enclosure to prevent dust accumulation, which can lead to overheating. Ensure the control panel’s ventilation system is functioning properly.
  • Component Testing: Annually, test each output channel using a load bank to confirm switching performance. Replace any channels that fail to meet specifications to prevent unexpected failures.
  • Firmware Updates: Periodically update the PLC’s firmware to incorporate bug fixes and compatibility improvements, following GE’s recommended procedures to avoid configuration errors.
