Operational Capabilities

  • Configurable I/O: Each of the 16 channels can be individually set as input or output.

  • Advanced Diagnostics: Monitors open circuits, switch failures, and over-temperature events at the individual channel level.

  • Non-Volatile Memory: Preserves configuration settings during power loss.

  • High-Speed Scanning: Suitable for fast automation cycles and real-time control.

  • Legacy Integration: Compatible with modern RX3i controllers via a Genius Bus Controller (GBC), enabling gradual system upgrades.

Technical FAQ

How is the IC660BBD021 configured?

  • Using a Genius Hand-Held Monitor (HHM) or PLC software (e.g., Proficy Machine Edition). Each point can be set as input or output with diagnostic thresholds.

Sink vs. Source blocks – what’s the difference?

  • As a Sink block, the module provides the path to ground for the load. It is compatible with field devices that source positive voltage.

Can it be used with modern RX3i controllers?

  • Yes, with a Genius Bus Controller, allowing legacy I/O to integrate into RX3i systems, supporting a cost-effective migration path.
