Overview

The IC660BBS102 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 IC660BBS102 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 / 105-132 VDC 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 IC660BBS102, 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 IC660BBS102 is a 115 VAC / 125 VDC Isolated I/O Block with eight circuits and Failed Switch Diagnostics by GE Fanuc. The IC660BBS102 is reported to continuously withstand 250 VAC/VDC between any group or ground or between any two groups. The block has a transient rating of 2000V peak for 10 seconds. Some configuarble features include AC/DC circuit voltage, defaults for output power-ups, CPU redundancy, a selectable input filter type ranging from 10mS to 100mS, capability for output pulse test, and module control for bus switching. The block performs diagnostic tests that detect overload and no overload, I/O power loss on pairs of circuits, over-temperature, and open wire for tristate inputs. As long as terminals 5 and 6 are recieving power, the isolated I/O block should operate. Temperatures in excess of 100°C trigger an OVERTEMPERATURE message and turns off the circuit to protect the internal electronics of the unit. The short circuit level sensor at the switching device protects the output circuits. Outputs are configured to report No-Load conditions for a new block. Genius I/O blocks are considered "open equipment" and must be installed in a protective enclosure, clean and free of airborne contaminants and with adequate cooling airflow. The block can be mounted right side up, or upside down. Leave at least 2 inches of space between blocks. The block’s mounting screws must not be used as the only means of grounding the block. The IC660BBS102 block is fully compatible with handheld monitor IC660HHM501 and any GE Fanuc bus controller. Blocks numbered IC660CBS100, 1C660BBS100, and IC660BBS101 are backward compatible with previous versions of this Genius I/O block. Terminal assembly model IC66*TSS100E is not compatible with earlier versions of the block. During field wiring, all terminal blocks can accommodate one AWG #12 or two AWG #14 wires. Terminals labeled 1 to 4 can accommodate ring terminals measuring up to 0.27 inches. Recommended torque for all terminals is 6 inches/lb. The IC660BBS102 is a Genius Block I/O. Previously manufactured by GE Fanuc, this module is now under Emerson Automation. It is an 8-channel isolated I/O block in 4 groups of 2 channels each with channels configurable as input and output, independently that accepts 115 VAC / 125 VDC. This block I/O is capable of reporting failed switch diagnostic by comparing the block output command Technical specifications for IC660BBS102 Brand GE Fanuc Series Genius I-O
