Ge Fanuc IC660EBA023 , Genius Thermocouple Input Block Electronics Assembly

Technical Information

The IC660EBA023 electronic assembly is a GE Fanuc Genius I/O thermocouple input block electronic assembly. This electronic assembly belongs to the GE Fanuc Genius I/O block series, and it provides an interface to a broad range of analog, discrete, and special-purpose devices on the Genius Bus. The IC660EBA023 electronic assembly and the IC660TBA023 terminal assembly form the Genius thermocouple block. Every Genius block requires a terminal assembly for base wiring, connection to field devices and handheld monitors, and for storing the block configuration settings via EEPROM. The electronic assembly provides microprocessing and performs the block’s communications, computation, and data storage functions. The IC660EBA023 electronic assembly has 24/48 Volts DC rated input blocks with 6 input channels in 3 isolated groups of 2. Each group has 2 thermocouples and 2 Cold Junction Compensation (CJC) input circuits, and there is a 300 Volts isolation voltage rating between groups.

The IC660EBA023 electronic assembly block primarily monitors temperature signals, but it can also be used for measuring low-level voltage input signals from field devices. Each input channel is designed to interface the J, K, T, E, B, R, S, and N-type thermocouple signals. Additionally, each input channel can be configured as an internal sensor, an external sensor, or a user-defined value. For greater measurement accuracy, each input measurement can be adjusted up to +/-100 degrees Celsius or +/-100 degrees Fahrenheit. The IC660EBA023 electronic assembly is software-configured, and it provides advanced diagnostics features like open-wire detection, internal fault reporting, high/low input alarms, and under-range/over-range input indication. It has an open design that supports mounting in any location or configuration, and its compatible terminal base assembly allows for the removal or replacement of the terminal assembly without needing to reconfigure the field-side wiring.

About IC660EBA023

The GE Fanuc IC660EBA023 Genius I/O Thermocouple Input Block Electronics Assembly is part of a 6-channel input block designed to monitor temperature inputs. This electronics assembly has standard thermocouples connected to each input for the detection and measurement of low-level voltage input signals. The IC660EBA023 Electronics Assembly is supplied either as a separate electronics assembly unit comprising a thermocouple block and LED indicators and other electronic circuits or as a complete factory-assembled block like the IC660BBA023 I/O Block that comprises the electronics assembly and a terminal assembly like the IC660TBA023 Terminal Assembly. The IC660EBA023 Electronics Assembly has 6 input circuits arranged in three 300 Volts DC isolated groups, and on each group are 2 thermocouple circuits and 2 remote cold junction compensation (CJC) inputs, which provide cold junction compensation for input measurements.

Each IC660EBA023 Electronics Assembly input can connect to J, K, T, E, B, R, S, and N-type thermocouples, and each input channel can be configured for an external sensor, internal sensor, or a user-defined value for the CJC. The IC660EBA023 Electronics Assembly has an operating voltage rating of 24/48 Volts DC (with an 18 to 56 Volts DC operating voltage range) and a power rating of 9.0 Watts. Each IC660EBA023 Electronics Assembly input has a voltage measurement range of -25 milliVolts to 150 milliVolts and a resolution of +/-10 microVolts. Each input channel has an accuracy rating of 8.0 Hertz and a filter range of +/-2 microVolts per degree Celsius. The internal CJC has a measurement range of 0 to 60 degrees Celsius and a resolution of +/-0.01 degrees Celsius. An external remote CJC reports input signals in either voltage or current analog values, and it offers a measurement range of -25 to 150 degrees Celsius with an accuracy rating of +/-0.1 degrees Celsius.
