GE IC660ELD021 I/O Block Electronic Assembly

Product Introduction

The GE IC660ELD021 is an Electronic Assembly for I/O Blocks from the Genius I/O family, designed to work in robust and high-reliability industrial environments. Developed by GE Fanuc, a trusted name in industrial automation, this module acts as an essential interface between field input/output devices and the control system. It is typically used in conjunction with terminal assemblies to form a complete Genius I/O block.

The IC660ELD021 specifically supports sink/source discrete inputs, making it ideal for monitoring field signals from switches, sensors, or other logic devices. With built-in diagnostics, fault detection, and flexible configuration, it ensures reliability and reduces system downtime.

Product Specifications

Applications

The GE IC660ELD021 is widely used in industrial and manufacturing environments, particularly in:

• Factory Automation: For integrating machinery sensors, pushbuttons, and relay status into PLC systems.

• Material Handling Systems: Monitoring limit switches, solenoids, and contactors.

• Water Treatment Plants: Capturing signal feedback from flow meters and valve actuators.

• Energy Sector: Collecting data from field switches in substations or turbine control systems.

• Food & Beverage Processing Lines: Monitoring packaging and conveyor sensors.

Product Advantages
