The IC660BBD024 is a versatile 12/24 VDC 32-Circuit Source I/O Block designed to efficiently control field output devices. This intelligent, configurable module facilitates the interface between the controller and various devices that communicate binary signals. It supports integration with electronic proximity switches in both 2-wire and 3-wire configurations, along with a wide range of other input devices. The IC660BBD024 features 32 identical discrete circuits that can be configured as input, output, or output with feedback, ensuring optimal flexibility for diverse applications. Each circuit is equipped with self-protection mechanisms that safeguard against shorted loads, protecting the driver from wiring errors and allowing temporary surges for reliable performance. Configuration of the block can be accomplished using a handheld monitor or by transmitting a Write Configuration datagram from the host. Notably, calibration is conducted by the manufacturer, while configuration remains under user control. Additionally, the IC660BBD024 functions as a Bus Switching Module (BSM) controller, enhancing its operational versatility. Should electronic components require replacement, users can swap the assembly without needing to reconfigure the block or disconnect field wiring, provided the replacement assembly is from a compatible model. For optimal performance, the I/O block should be housed within a protective enclosure and can be installed in either an upright or inverted position. The IC660BBD024 is a member of the Genius I/O series, emphasizing reliability and adaptability in industrial automation environments.

Technical specifications include a rated voltage of 12/24 VDC, 32 channels with output types including standard and feedback outputs, and support for both 2-wire and 3-wire configurations. The module operates within an input range of 18-30 VDC, with a load current rating of 0.5 A, and operates effectively within a voltage range of 10-30 VDC.
