GE IC660ERD024C | Regulated 24 VDC Power Supply Module | IC670MDL730K

Description

GE IC660ERD024C Product Specification

Product Overview

The GE IC660ERD024C is a high-reliability 24 VDC power supply module engineered for GE’s Genius I/O platform, designed to deliver stable power to distributed I/O modules, sensors, and field devices in industrial automation systems. As a critical component of the Genius architecture, this module converts AC input power into regulated 24 VDC output, ensuring consistent operation of connected devices in manufacturing, power generation, and process control applications where power stability is paramount.

Integrated into the Genius system, the GE IC660ERD024C accepts a wide input voltage range (93–132 VAC or 105–145 VDC), making it compatible with diverse industrial power grids. It delivers a continuous output current of 2.5 A, with peak capacity up to 3 A, sufficient to power multiple I/O modules such as the GE IC660BBS102 (discrete I/O) and GE IC660BBA104 (analog I/O) in a single rack.

The GE IC660ERD024C features 2500 VAC galvanic isolation between input and output, protecting sensitive electronics from voltage spikes and ground loops in high-noise environments like factory floors or turbine halls. Its compact design (22.4 cm × 8.4 cm × 9.9 cm) and lightweight structure (1.2 kg) fit seamlessly into GE IC660CHS007 (7-slot) racks, optimizing cabinet space. Rugged construction—including a conformal coating and IP20 enclosure—supports operation in temperatures from 0°C to 60°C, with resistance to vibration (10–2000 Hz, 10 G rms) and humidity (5–95% non-condensing). Front-panel LEDs indicate power status and fault conditions, simplifying troubleshooting, while built-in protection (overload, short circuit, overvoltage) prevents damage to connected equipment.

Technical Specifications

Main Features and Advantages

Stable Power Regulation:
The GE IC660ERD024C delivers 24 VDC output with ±2% regulation, ensuring consistent power to sensitive devices like GE IC660BBS102 discrete I/O modules and 2-wire sensors. This stability prevents voltage fluctuations from disrupting signal processing—critical in applications like pharmaceutical batch production, where even minor power variations can affect process accuracy.

Wide Input Compatibility:
Accepting 93–132 VAC or 105–145 VDC input, the GE IC660ERD024C adapts to global power grids, eliminating the need for region-specific power supplies. This flexibility simplifies system design for multinational facilities, such as automotive plants with operations in both 110 VAC and 120 VDC regions.

Advanced Protection Mechanisms:
Built-in overload (3 A peak) and short-circuit protection triggers within 10 ms, safeguarding connected devices from damage during faults. Overtemperature shutdown (above 75°C) prevents module failure in high-heat environments like steel mills, while auto-recovery after fault clearance minimizes manual intervention.

Rugged Isolation and Durability:
2500 VAC isolation between input and output shields against voltage spikes from lightning or equipment startup, while a conformal coating resists dust, moisture, and chemical vapors. This ruggedness ensures reliability in offshore platforms or food processing plants, where environmental exposure is high.

Seamless Genius Integration:
The GE IC660ERD024C mounts directly in GE IC660CHS007 racks, providing backplane power to Genius I/O modules without external wiring. Its compatibility with the Genius protocol enables communication with the PLC, allowing remote monitoring of output voltage and fault status via SCADA systems—enhancing visibility in large-scale facilities like refineries.

Compact and Efficient Design:
With a 22.4 cm × 8.4 cm × 9.9 cm footprint and 85% efficiency, the GE IC660ERD024C optimizes cabinet space and reduces energy waste. Its lightweight (1.2 kg) construction eases installation, making it ideal for retrofitting legacy systems or mobile equipment with limited space.

Application Areas

Manufacturing:

1. Powers GE IC660BBS102discrete I/O modules in automotive assembly lines, ensuring sensors and actuators receive stable power for robotic welding coordination.
2. Supplies 24 VDC to barcode scanners and vision systems in packaging lines, preventing data errors from voltage drops.

Power Generation:

1. Provides power to vibration monitoring sensors and GE IC660BBA104analog modules in turbine auxiliary systems, ensuring continuous data collection for predictive maintenance.
2. Powers relay coils in generator control panels, maintaining reliable operation of protective devices during grid fluctuations.

Oil and Gas:

1. Supplies 24 VDC to pressure transmitters and valve position sensors in offshore platforms, withstanding salt spray and humidity to prevent measurement drift.
2. Powers emergency shutdown (ESD) I/O modules, ensuring critical safety systems remain operational during power grid instability.

Water/Wastewater:

1. Powers level sensors and pump control relays in treatment plants, preventing disruptions to filtration and chemical dosing processes.
2. Supplies power to remote I/O racks in distribution networks, enabling reliable communication with SCADA systems for leak detection.

Installation and Maintenance

Pre-installation preparations: Before installing GE IC660ERD024C, verify the IC660CHS007 rack is properly grounded to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD). Use an ESD wrist strap during handling. Check input voltage compatibility (93–132 VAC or 105–145 VDC) with the facility’s power grid. Mount the module in the rack’s designated power slot, ensuring secure seating in the backplane, and connect input power via the terminal block (AWG 14–22 wires, torque 0.6 N·m).

Maintenance suggestions: Perform monthly visual inspections of GE IC660ERD024C front-panel LEDs—steady green indicates normal operation, while red signals overload or overtemperature. Clean dust from ventilation slots quarterly with compressed air to maintain cooling. Annually, use a multimeter to verify output voltage (23.5–24.5 VDC) and check terminal connections for corrosion, especially in humid environments. Replace the module if output regulation exceeds ±5% or if protection features fail to activate during testing.
