Overview

The IC660BBS101 is an I/O block from GE. It is part of GE's industrial automation product portfolio.

Application & Technical Notes

As an i/o block, the IC660BBS101 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 an operating temperature range of 32 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit. These values should be confirmed against the current manufacturer datasheet before final selection, as options and suffixes vary by configuration.

Maintenance & Diagnostics

Respect the published operating temperature window (32 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit); do not exceed it during commissioning or in enclosed panels without airflow. For storage and transit, keep the unit within -40 to 212 degrees Fahrenheit Description. 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 IC660BBS101, 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.

Specifications

The IC660BBS101 is an isolated Genius I/O block by GE Fanuc with a power rating of 115 VAC or 125 VDC and an output current of 2 Amps with a frequency of between 47-63 Hz. The block weighs 4 lbs. with a block to block isolation of 1500 Volts. The block is fully compatible with handheld monitor IC660HHM501 and any GE Fanuc bus controller (PCIM or QBIM). Blocks numbered IC660CBS100, 1C660BBS100, and IC660BS101 are backward compatible with previous versions of this Genius I/O block. The IC660BBS101 block comes with an array of LEDs, each circuit having its own LED. Should the circuit be configured as an input, the corresponding LED will indicate threshold voltage. However, if the circuit is configured to act as an output, the LED will indicate that the circuit is in a state commanded by the CPU. I/O block modules can be configured or set to act as input only, output only, or a combination of the two. The default setting is input only. If configured or set as input only, then all circuits should be set to either regular or tristate inputs. If configured or set as output only, all block circuits should be output only. The isolated I/O blocks have the capacity to perform diagnostic checks such as over-temperature, absence of a load, sudden shutdown of the I/O block, failed switch, and power overload. During field wiring, each terminal block can accommodate one AWG #12 or two AWG #14 wires. The minimum recommended wire size AWG #22. Spade or ring terminals of up to 0.27 inches in width can be accommodated by the terminal block. The user can connect a maximum of five power sources to the terminal assembly. The GE Fanuc IC660BBS101 I/O block is a Genius I/O block. The 8 circuits on the IC660BBS101 I/O block can operate at either 115 Volts AC or 125 Volts DC.
