Description
GE IC66088S102 Genius I/O Block with Isolated Outputs
Product Overview
The GE IC66088S102 is a high-performance isolated I/O block designed for GE Fanuc’s Genius I/O series, a modular automation platform renowned for its reliability in industrial control systems. As a critical component of the Genius architecture, this block serves as a bridge between field devices (e.g., actuators, solenoids) and the PLC controller, enabling precise control and monitoring of industrial processes.
Featuring 8 isolated output channels divided into 4 groups of 2, the GE IC66088S102 supports both AC (115 V) and DC (125 V) voltage inputs, making it versatile for mixed industrial environments. Its core function is to amplify and isolate control signals from the PLC, ensuring robust operation even in electrically noisy settings. Each output group is galvanically isolated from the others, preventing cross-talk and enhancing system stability.
In automation systems, the IC66088S102 is ideally suited for applications requiring high levels of safety and reliability, such as machinery control, process automation, and power distribution. Its compact design (8.8 x 3.3 x 3.9 inches) and lightweight construction (4 pounds) facilitate easy integration into tight control panels, while its rugged metal housing withstands harsh industrial conditions. Though no longer manufactured by GE, the IC66088S102 remains a sought-after solution for maintaining legacy Genius I/O systems, ensuring operational continuity in factories, water treatment plants, and energy facilities.
