Description
I apologize for the inconsistency in the information provided about the GE IC660EBD120L1 in the previous response. Here’s a more comprehensive explanation based on the available information:
Possible Product Name:
- GE IC660 Digital Input Card (based on similar naming conventions by GE Automation)
Product Description:
The GE IC660EBD120L1 is likely a digital input card designed for the GE Fanuc (now GE Automation) IC660 series programmable logic controller (PLC) system. It acts as an interface between the PLC and various external sensors or switches. These sensors or switches provide electrical signals (voltage or current) that represent real-world conditions like temperature, pressure, limit switch status, etc. The digital input card translates these electrical signals into digital logic signals (typically 0V or 24VDC) that the PLC can understand and use in its control program.
Product Parameters (Limited information available):
- Input: Likely accepts voltage or current signals from various sensors or switches connected to the input channels.
- Number of Channels: The “120” in the model number suggests 12 digital input channels, but confirmation depends on a datasheet or manual.
Product Specifications (Refer to resources below for potentially finding a datasheet):
- Input Voltage Range: The voltage range the card can accept from the connected sensors or switches (e.g., 12VDC to 24VDC).
- Input Current Rating: The maximum current each input channel can handle (e.g., 20mA).
- Input Signal Type: Whether the card is designed for voltage-based or current-based digital signals (datasheet confirmation needed).
- Isolation: Some digital input cards have built-in electrical isolation between the input channels and the PLC backplane for improved noise immunity. You’d need a datasheet to confirm if this card has isolation.
- Response Time: The time it takes for the card to register a change in the input signal (typically milliseconds).
Finding More Information:
Due to the product being discontinued, GE Automation’s website might not have readily available information on the IC660EBD120L1. Here are some alternative methods to potentially find product specifications:
- Industrial Automation Parts Suppliers: Some industrial automation parts suppliers sell replacement parts for discontinued control systems. These websites may have datasheets or specifications for the IC660EBD120L1 if they carry it as a replacement part. Try searching for the model number on such websites.
- Online Resources: Tech forums, automation communities, or online resources might have discussions or references to the IC660EBD120L1, potentially providing some details or alternative sources for information. Search for the model number on forums or archive websites.
- Contact GE Automation: While unlikely to yield a wealth of information, you can try contacting GE Automation through their website or by phone. They might be able to point you towards resources or suggest similar replacement parts with available specifications.
Important Considerations:
- Discontinued Product: The GE IC660 series is a discontinued product line. While replacement parts might be available, they may become increasingly difficult to find over time.
- Technical Expertise: Using and replacing components in a control system might require technical expertise in industrial automation and electrical engineering.
- Safety Precautions: Working with electrical components within a control system requires following safety precautions to avoid electrical hazards. If unsure, consult a qualified electrician for assistance.
