Overview

The IC660BBS103 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 IC660BBS103 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 Range, AC 93-132 VAC rating, an operating temperature range of 0 to 60 degrees Celsius Description. 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 (0 to 60 degrees Celsius Description); do not exceed it during commissioning or in enclosed panels without airflow. Avoid condensation — the rated humidity is 5 to 95%; store and operate the module in a dry, pollution-degree-appropriate enclosure. 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 IC660BBS103, 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 IC660BBS103 is an eight circuit I/O isolated block by GE Fanuc. The block has a rated voltage of 115 VAC or 125 VDC with an input voltage range of between 93 VAC and 132 VAC. Output voltage range varies from 105 to 132 VDC with a load current of two Amps for every output point. The IC660BBS103 block’s isolation can withstand a voltage of 250 VAC or VDC between two groups or between a group and a ground. It has a transient rating of 2000V for every 10 seconds. The block can be powered differently from the circuits with power being either AC or DC. The block’s control power can be tapped from the voltages of input/output devices which are wired to the terminals. There is electronic fusing for every circuit used for output. The circuit shuts down immediately after five microseconds in the event of a short circuit. The circuit can thereafter be restarted using a handheld monitor or a CPU. Some of the diagnostic checks include detection of sudden shutdowns, voltage overload, overheating, and detection of power loss to the circuits. During block mounting, it is advisable to mount the block in a protective enclosure, clean and free from contaminants. It can be mounted facing up or down. It is important to leave two inches of space between blocks for ample ventilation. During field wiring, all terminals will accept 1 AWG #12 wire or 2 AWG #14 wires. The minimum wire size recommended is AWG #22. Ring terminals of up to 0.27 inches can be accommodated by the block. The recommended torque for the terminal screws is 0.678 N/M. Operating temperature for IC660BBS103 ranges from 0-60o C with storage temperature being -40o C to 80o C. The GE Fanuc IC660BBS103 is a Genius 8-point discrete I/O block. This I/O block operates at nominal voltages of 115VAC / 125VDC, having Four (4) isolated groups of Two (2) I/O circuits. This module supports Genius Bus protocol, allowing multiple Genius I/O block connection in daisy-chain topology.
