IC660BBD110 GE Fanuc Genius I/O Block 16-Point 115 VAC Input

Description

Product Model: IC660BBD110
Product Brand: GE Fanuc / GE Intelligent Platforms
Product Series: Genius I/O
Product Features:

• Discrete input block with 16 circuits rated for 115 VAC operation.
• Two banks of eight circuits each; supports 2-wire or 3-wire switch inputs.
• Built-in diagnostics: per-circuit LED status, unit OK and I/O enabled indicators; high isolation (1,500 V block-to-block).
• Directly compatible with GE Genesis/Genius I/O racks (Series 90-30/Series 6) – ideal for retrofit and legacy systems.

Product Role & System Fit

In automation systems where discrete inputs need to be collected from field devices—such as push-buttons, limit switches, photo-eyes or proximity sensors—the IC660BBD110 serves as a robust, factory-proven I/O block. It belongs to the Genius I/O family by GE Fanuc (now GE Intelligent Platforms), and is designed to plug into a Genius I/O backplane rack. Within that architecture, the IC660BBD110 occupies a standard slot and collects 16 discrete AC input signals at 115 VAC; it then presents these signals to the bus controller for processing by the CPU.

From a system-fit perspective, this module is particularly valuable in brown-field or legacy environments where Genius I/O infrastructure is already in place. Rather than rewiring or moving to an entirely new I/O platform, you can replace or expand using the IC660BBD110 and maintain the existing backplane, rack wiring and I/O layout. Because it supports standard 115 VAC input circuits, it’s ideal for sites wired with AC input sensors (common in older automation systems). It helps maintain compatibility, reduces retrofit risk and allows maintenance staff to continue using familiar diagnostics and wiring practices.

When your rack has multiple blocks—input, output, analog, discrete—the IC660BBD110 plays the specific role of the input block for AC discrete signals. It doesn’t perform logic, communications or advanced functions; it simply and reliably captures the state of field devices and reports them back. In machine building or panel retrofit work, choosing this module means you can reuse existing sensor wiring and maintain the same footprint. That means less disruption during upgrades, and a more predictable cost and schedule.

In short: the IC660BBD110 fits where you need to collect many AC discrete inputs, you want a compact module (16 circuits in one block), and you want to stay within the Genius I/O ecosystem.
