Description
GE IC660BBD101 is a Genius 8 – channel configurable discrete I/O block from GE Fanuc (Emerson Automation), designed to interface field sensors/actuators with industrial communication buses in process and manufacturing control systems. GE IC660BBD101 operates at 115V AC (93 – 132V AC range) and allows each of its 8 circuits to be independently set as input or output, delivering 2A per channel for flexible load control. GE IC660BBD101 integrates selectable input filters (10-100ms), output feedback monitoring, and pulse testing to boost operational reliability and troubleshooting efficiency. GE IC660BBD101 features built – in diagnostics for open – wire, overload, and overtemperature faults, with dedicated LEDs for channel status and unit health. GE IC660BBD101 supports bus switching module control and works seamlessly with GE Genius bus controllers, eliminating the need for a rack – based setup for distributed I/O expansion. GE IC660BBD101’s compact, panel – mount design and 1500V AC field – to – backplane isolation make it ideal for harsh industrial environments requiring flexible I/O allocation.
