GE IC660BBS103 Product Specification
Product Overview
The GE IC660BBS103 is a high-reliability 8-circuit isolated I/O block engineered for GE Fanuc’s Genius I/O system, designed to interface with field devices in industrial automation, power generation, and process control applications. As a core component of the Genius distributed architecture, this module processes discrete signals—such as switch inputs, valve commands, and motor control signals—with precision and robustness, ensuring seamless integration with GE Fanuc PLCs and other automation controllers.
Integrated into the Genius I/O platform, the GE IC660BBS103 features 250 VAC/VDC continuous isolation between circuit groups, protecting against electrical noise and surges in high-interference environments like manufacturing floors or power plants 14. Its 8 configurable I/O channels support both 2-wire and 3-wire switches, with selectable input filtering (10–100 ms) to minimize false triggers from transient signals 14. The module’s compact form factor (7.6 cm × 20.3 cm × 10.2 cm) and rugged construction—IP20-rated enclosure and conformal coating—enable reliable operation in temperatures ranging from 0°C to 60°C, making it suitable for harsh industrial settings 48.
Designed for flexibility, the GE IC660BBS103 allows independent AC/DC powering of its internal electronics and field circuits, accommodating a wide range of voltage inputs (93–132 VAC or 105–132 VDC) 14. Its front-panel LEDs provide real-time status monitoring for power, I/O enablement, and individual circuit activity, simplifying troubleshooting. The module’s hot-swappable design—combined with GE Fanuc’s Proficy software for configuration—reduces downtime during maintenance or system expansion, ensuring continuous operation in mission-critical applications 7.

Main Features and Advantages
Rugged Isolation and Protection:
The GE IC660BBS103’s triple-layer isolation safeguards against voltage spikes and electromagnetic interference, critical in environments with welding equipment, motors, or high-voltage machinery. Its transient rating of 2000 V peak ensures immunity to surges caused by lightning strikes or equipment startup 14. This resilience reduces the risk of signal corruption and equipment damage, minimizing unplanned downtime.

This resilience reduces the risk of signal corruption and equipment damage, minimizing unplanned downtime.
Flexible Configuration:
With 8 configurable I/O channels, the module adapts to diverse applications, from monitoring limit switches in conveyor systems to controlling solenoid valves in chemical processing. Engineers can customize input filtering to reject noise and set output defaults (e.g., hold last state or reset to zero) via GE Fanuc’s Proficy software or the IC660HHM501 handheld monitor 17. This flexibility eliminates the need for multiple specialized modules, simplifying system design and reducing costs.

Real-Time Diagnostics:
Front-panel LEDs provide instant visibility into power status, I/O enablement, and individual circuit health. For example, a solid green “Unit OK” LED confirms proper operation, while a red “Fault” LED indicates overcurrent or short-circuit conditions 14. The module’s electronic fusing—activating within 5 µs of a fault—protects outputs from damage, and faults can be cleared remotely via the PLC or handheld tool 4.

Installation and Maintenance
Pre-installation preparations:
Before installing GE IC660BBS103, ensure the control panel is properly grounded to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD). Use an ESD wrist strap during handling to protect sensitive components. Mount the module on a DIN rail or panel with at least 50 mm clearance for ventilation, securing it with M4 screws tightened to 0.678 N·m 4. Connect shielded cables to the terminals, ensuring wire sizes between AWG #12 and #22 (ring terminals up to 0.27 inches) 4. Verify power supply compatibility (93–132 VAC or 105–132 VDC) and polarity.

Maintenance suggestions:
Perform monthly visual inspections of GE IC660BBS103 front-panel LEDs to confirm normal operation (green “Unit OK,” no “Fault” indicators). Clean dust from ventilation slots using compressed air to maintain cooling efficiency. Quarterly, use a multimeter to verify output voltage accuracy (±1% tolerance). Inspect terminal connections for corrosion, especially in humid environments. Annually, update firmware via GE Fanuc’s Proficy software to access bug fixes and compatibility enhancements. Test redundancy by simulating a communication fault between GE IC660BBS103 and the IC693BEM331 controller, ensuring seamless failover.
