GE IC660EBD110P Genius Electric Discrete Input Module
Product Overview
The GE IC660EBD110P is a high-performance discrete input module designed for GE’s Genius I/O system, a cornerstone of industrial automation known for its flexibility and reliability. As part of the IC660 Series, this module serves as a critical interface between field devices (such as limit switches, proximity sensors, and pressure transducers) and programmable logic controllers (PLCs) in manufacturing, automotive, and process industries.
Featuring 16 isolated discrete input channels, the GE IC660EBD110P processes AC signals in the range of 93–132 V AC, making it compatible with global industrial power grids. Its primary function is to convert raw field signals into digital data that PLCs can interpret, enabling real-time monitoring of machine status, conveyor positions, and safety interlocks. The module’s 1500 V input-to-ground isolation protects sensitive PLC components from voltage spikes and electromagnetic interference (EMI), ensuring signal integrity in electrically noisy environments.
In automation systems, the IC660EBD110P integrates seamlessly with GE’s Series 90-30 PLCs and Genius Bus Controllers, forming a distributed I/O network that reduces wiring complexity. Its built-in fault detection identifies open or shorted input wires, alerting operators via front-panel LEDs and system diagnostics. By combining rugged construction, high channel density, and advanced signal processing, the GE IC660EBD110P enhances operational efficiency, minimizes downtime, and simplifies system expansion in industrial settings.

Advanced Fault Detection:
The module automatically detects open circuits and shorted input wires, reporting faults to the PLC via the Genius Bus. Front-panel LEDs (one per channel) provide instant visual feedback, allowing technicians to quickly identify issues without specialized tools—reducing mean time to repair (MTTR).

Flexible Filtering:
Configurable input filtering (10–100 ms in 10 ms increments) suppresses electrical noise from nearby motors or transformers, ensuring accurate signal interpretation. For example, in environments with high EMI, a 100 ms filter can prevent false triggers from transient spikes.

Maintenance suggestions:
Perform monthly visual inspections of front-panel LEDs to check for fault indicators. Clean dust from vents quarterly with compressed air, especially in dusty environments like foundries. Test input channels annually using a signal generator to confirm proper operation—verify that each channel responds to ON/OFF signals and that faults trigger correctly. Store spare IC660EBD110P modules in anti-static packaging at 0°C to 60°C with <70% humidity, testing them biannually to ensure functionality.
