GE IC600BF827
Product Overview
The GE IC600BF827 is a programmable logic controller (PLC) expansion module designed by General Electric (GE) for industrial automation control systems. It is part of the GE Fanuc 90-30 series I/O system. This module provides 8-channel digital input functionality, supporting 24V DC high-level signal acquisition, and is suitable for discrete control applications such as equipment status monitoring, safety interlocking, and process control. The IC600BF827 features a compact design, enabling seamless integration into the 90-30 series PLC rack. It communicates at high speed with CPU modules (such as the IC693CPU363) via the backplane bus, ensuring real-time data acquisition and response. Its high noise suppression capability and wide input voltage range (15-30V DC) make it suitable for industrial sites with complex electrical environments, including the manufacturing, energy, and infrastructure sectors.

Structure and Composition
The IC600BF827 adopts a modular design with a housing made of high-strength flame-retardant plastic (compliant with UL 94 V-0 standards). The front panel is equipped with 8 LED status indicators (each channel independently displays the input signal status). The module uses optocouplers internally to achieve electrical isolation between channels. Each group of 4 channels shares a common terminal (COM), supporting flexible wiring configurations. The backplane interface is a standard gold finger connector for the 90-30 series, ensuring reliable data transmission with the PLC backplane (such as the IC693CHS391). The terminal block uses a detachable screw wiring method, supporting wire diameters of 0.5-2.5mm², and has a built-in reverse polarity protection circuit to prevent module damage due to incorrect wiring.
Key Features and Advantages
- High Anti-Interference Capability: Optoelectronic isolation + digital filtering technology effectively suppresses electromagnetic noise in industrial sites (such as interference from frequency converters and relays).
- Flexible Wiring: Supports sink and source input configurations, compatible with sensors from different manufacturers (such as Omron and Siemens).
- Fast Response: 3ms switching speed meets the requirements of high-speed counting (such as encoder signals) and emergency shutdown (ESD).
- Plug-and-Play: The module is automatically recognized by the 90-30 CPU, no hardware jumpers are required, and parameters are configured through Proficy Machine Edition software.
Application Fields
- Discrete Manufacturing: Safety door monitoring of stamping machines, sensor signal acquisition in assembly lines.
- Energy Management: Status monitoring of distribution cabinet circuit breakers (used with the IC693PWR321 power module).
- Logistics Automation: Conveyor belt photoelectric switches, barcode scanner trigger signal processing.
- Water Treatment Systems: Pump valve limit switch feedback, interlock control (matched with the IC693MDL940 output module).

Installation and Maintenance
- Pre-Installation Preparation: Cut off the rack power supply, use an anti-static wristband; check that the backplane slot is free of contamination or deformation; prepare a 24V DC regulated power supply (such as S8VK-C24024).
- Maintenance Recommendations: Check the tightness of terminal screws every 6 months; regularly clean the backplane contacts with anhydrous alcohol; if the LED indicator is abnormal, first use a multimeter to measure the input voltage (normal range 18-30V DC).
