Field Wiring and Functional Role
The IC660TBD023 terminal base provides a structured termination point for a wide range of discrete output devices. Typical connections at the field interface include:
-
Solenoid coils
-
Relay and contactor outputs
-
Alarm and indicator lamps
-
Motor starter control lines
-
Other on/off control devices
Field leads are secured using dependable screw-clamp terminals. These signals are then routed through the terminal base to the paired discrete output electronics assembly (such as IC660EBD023), ensuring mechanical stability and clear electrical paths.
