GE Genius distributed I/O (IC660/IC661) and Field Control (IC670) — bus-coupled blocks and termination hardware.

Genius I/O was GE's answer to distributed control in the 1980s and 1990s: rugged block I/O units (IC660 and IC661 references) that mount on the machine and communicate over the Genius bus to a Series 90 or 90-70 controller. Field Control (IC670) modernised the concept with modular terminals and a wider module selection.

Product pages in this section document block I/O channel types, bus addresses and termination hardware as recovered from original documentation. Because Genius networks are addressing-based, the notes on each page stress confirming block address and bus configuration before a like-for-like swap — a step that saves hours of commissioning.
