IC660BBD101

Overview

The IC660BBD101 is a Discrete I/O Block from GE. It is part of GE's industrial automation product portfolio.

Application & Technical Notes

As a discrete i/o block, the IC660BBD101 is intended for deployment in panel-based control cabinets and machine enclosures where the GE product portfolio equipment is installed. It performs a defined automation function within the control system and is selected to match the installed GE platform.

Key published characteristics include a 93-132 VAC rating. These values should be confirmed against the current manufacturer datasheet before final selection, as options and suffixes vary by configuration.

Maintenance & Diagnostics

Inspect terminals and connectors for corrosion or looseness, and confirm the module seats correctly in its carrier. Always de-energise the circuit and follow lock-out/tag-out before handling; refer to the official instruction bulletin for service procedures.

Sourcing & Procurement

When sourcing the IC660BBD101, distinguish three supply tiers: (1) genuine GE stock from an authorised distributor; (2) compatible equivalents or surplus/NOS (new-old-stock) from third parties; (3) alternative parts offering equivalent function. Genuine supply carries the full warranty and traceability; compatible or alternative items may be cheaper but should be validated for form, fit, firmware and certification before use in a live system. PLCXpert publishes this page as an independent reference and does not sell the part — verify every claim with the manufacturer or your distributor.

Confirm mechanical and electrical compatibility with your GE product portfolio installation and the intended function. Lead times and pricing vary by region and lifecycle status; obtain a current quote from an authorised channel rather than relying on stale listings.

Frequently Asked Questions

Specifications

IC660BBD101 is a GE Fanuc Low Leakage Input/Output Block that comes with eight discrete points/circuits and delivers 115 Volts AC. The input, as well the as operating voltage range, is between 93-132 Volts AC with a load current of 2 Amps. Each of its eight circuits can be configured for either input or output. The I/O block links multiple discrete sensors/actuators and a communication bus. The block can accommodate high input impedance. A fuse shuts down output current in the circuit if it goes beyond 30 Amps or 20 Amps for every two cycles. The circuit can later be restored by issuing a command from the CPU or a handheld monitor. The I/O block comes with features such as input filters with selectable filter times ranging from 10ms -100ms, module control for bus switching, output feedback for voltage monitoring, pulse testing for output points, and defaults for output power-up. The IC660BBD101 block comes equipped with salient diagnostics such as voltage overload detection, power-off, and no-load detection. LED indicators on the I/O block blink to alert the user to errors or faults such as faulty cabling, incorrect baud rate, and improper grounding among others. There is a dedicated LED for each circuit. For an output circuit, an LED, which in ON indicates that a specific circuit has complied with the command issued by the CPU. For an input circuit, however, an ON LED shows that a specific terminal has reached the threshold voltage. Error messages are generated on the handheld monitor, which helps the user attend to the fault promptly and efficiently. The IC660BBD101 I/O block weighs 4lbs and works with model IC660HHM501 of the handheld monitor and IC693BEM331 bus controller model. During block mounting, the I/O block should be installed in a protective enclosure, which is clean and devoid of any contaminants. Furthermore, there should be adequate cooling space for the block. Mounting can be done right-side up or upside down. The IC660BBD101 is a Genius Block I/O. Previously manufactured by GE Fanuc, this module is now under Emerson Automation. It is an 8-circuit Discrete I/O block with channels configurable as tristate input, non-tristate input and output. It has an operating voltage range of 93-132 VAC with nominal level of 115 VAC. It supports Genius communication protocol, allowing the module to function as a Technical specifications for IC660BBD101
