GE IC600BF929 Series Six DC Output Module

The GE Fanuc IC600BF929 is a high-density DC sourcing output module engineered for the GE Series Six programmable logic controller system. Operating within a 10 to 50 VDC voltage range, this board provides 32 discrete output circuits arranged in four isolated groups of eight points each. It enables the main processing rack to control solid-state DC loads, pilot lamps, relays, solenoids, and external field devices in demanding industrial automation applications.

Circuit Architecture and Sourcing Outputs

Configured as a high-density current-sourcing module, the unit supplies power directly from the external DC supply to connected field loads. The 32 output channels are split across four isolated power groups, protecting adjacent channels from field wiring faults and reducing inter-circuit electrical noise interference. Each output switch handles continuous load currents within the designated 10 to 50 VDC operating threshold, making it compatible with standard 12 VDC, 24 VDC, and 48 VDC industrial equipment.

Diagnostics and Module Hardware

The module features a front panel equipped with individual status LED indicators ("with lights") for each of the 32 output channels. These lights illuminate when an output point receives an active signal command from the controller backplane, enabling quick visual verification during routine maintenance and commissioning. Designed as a standard Series Six plug-in card, the assembly installs securely into standard system I/O racks.
