GE IC660BBA100 Genius Analog I/O Module
Product Overview
The GE IC660BBA100 is a high-performance analog input/output module designed for GE Fanuc’s Genius series industrial control systems, serving as a critical interface between field devices and PLC controllers in manufacturing, energy, and process automation. Engineered for precision and reliability, the IC660BBA100 converts analog signals (voltage/current) into digital data for processing while delivering controlled analog outputs to actuators, ensuring seamless integration in applications requiring real-time monitoring and regulation.
With 4 analog input channels and 2 analog output channels, the IC660BBA100 supports a wide range of signal types, including 0–10V DC, ±10V DC, 4–20mA, and 0–5V DC, making it versatile for diverse industrial scenarios such as temperature/pressure sensing, motor speed control, and valve positioning. Its 12-bit resolution ensures high accuracy in signal conversion, while 4ms update time enables rapid response in dynamic processes like chemical reactor adjustments or conveyor belt speed optimization. The module operates across -20°C to 70°C and withstands 5–95% non-condensing humidity, with a rugged metal enclosure that resists vibration and electromagnetic interference (EMI)—ideal for harsh environments like oil refineries or automotive assembly lines.
Within the Genius ecosystem, the IC660BBA100 communicates via the Genius Bus, enabling high-speed data exchange with controllers like IC697CPU780 and other modules such as IC660MDL179 (digital I/O). Its automatic calibration feature ensures long-term accuracy by compensating for temperature drift, while 1024ms selectable input filtering reduces noise in signal-heavy environments. Compliance with UL 508 and CE standards underscores its reliability in regulated industries, where precise signal processing is essential for safety and efficiency.

Main Features and Advantages
High-Accuracy Signal Conversion
The IC660BBA100’s 12-bit ADC/DAC ensures precise analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog conversion, minimizing errors in critical applications like pharmaceutical batch processing or power plant turbine control. For example, it can detect temperature variations as small as 0.1°C in a reactor and adjust coolant flow with ±0.5% accuracy.
Versatile Signal Handling
Support for 5 signal ranges allows seamless integration with diverse sensors and actuators. In a water treatment plant, it can monitor pH levels (0–10V DC) and control chemical dosing pumps (4–20mA), eliminating the need for multiple modules and reducing system complexity.
Robust Industrial Design
Built with a corrosion-resistant metal enclosure and conformal coating, the module withstands extreme temperatures (-20°C to 70°C), 10–500Hz vibration, and 5–95% humidity. Its EMI-shielded circuitry ensures reliable operation in environments with large motors or welding equipment, common in automotive manufacturing.
Intelligent Diagnostic Capabilities
LED indicators provide real-time status for power, communication, and channel health, enabling technicians to quickly identify issues like sensor failure or signal drift. In a food processing plant, this feature reduces downtime by pinpointing faulty temperature probes within seconds.
Compatibility and Scalability
The IC660BBA100 is backward-compatible with GE’s Series 90-30, IC697, and IC600 PLCs, allowing seamless integration into legacy systems. It pairs with IC697CPU780 controllers and IC660PWR101 power supplies, forming a scalable control architecture that supports up to 32 modules per network segment.
