Description

In conveyor systems across automotive assembly halls and warehouse sorters, the GE IC660BBS103 switches solenoids, lights pilots, or reads pushbuttons to orchestrate part flow and fault signaling amid dust, oil mist, and arc flashes from nearby welders. Chemical skid builders use it for valve proofs and level switches in pump pits, where a stuck contact could flood bunds or starve reactors. These zones endure power dips and inductive kicks; the GE IC660BBS103 groups circuits in isolated pairs, latching states on bus outages to hold sequences steady in industrial automation. Bottlers tap it for capper clutches and reject diverters, ensuring no bottle slips through unchecked, while steel mills link it to shear guards and slab position flags applicable in control systems. In HVAC plants, it drives damper actuators and filter dirty alerts, maintaining air balance without nuisance trips. Upgrade teams drop it into Genius drops replacing relay logic, slashing wiring while keeping interlocks fail-safe.​

Pharma cleanrooms and food freezers deploy the GE IC660BBS103 for door interlocks and conveyor stops, its AC/DC flexibility suiting mixed panels. Crews query statuses via handheld programmers, isolating group faults fast in spread-out drops.​

The GE IC660BBS103 operates as an 8-circuit isolated I/O block in GE Fanuc’s Genius distributed system, configurable per pair as inputs or outputs over the twisted-pair bus at up to 153.6 kbaud. It divides into four optically isolated groups of two circuits each, handling 115 VAC or 125 VDC nominally for flexible discrete control in Series 90-70/30 PLC setups. Snapped into terminal bases with siblings, the GE IC660BBS103 shares data packets with hosts, offloading point logic to the field.​

Configurators assign modes, debounce, and filters channel-by-channel via handheld monitor, scaling statuses to HMI bits without ladder rungs. On comms drop, it retains last states or forces failsafe per setup, guarding against runaway actuators.​

Each circuit in the GE IC660BBS103 responds in 10 ms typical, with 2500 Vrms isolation per group blocking surges between points or bus. LEDs flag power, I/O active, and faults group-wise, aiding at-a-glance checks in dim MCCs. Outputs source/sink 2A continuous across loads, wetting dry contacts reliably.​

Universal voltage sensing covers 93-132 VAC inputs or 90-150 VDC, shrugging off brownouts common in motor starter buckets. Surge suppression to 370 V peak protects against inductive snaps from clutches.​
