GE Fanuc IC660BBD101 Genius I/O Discrete Input/Output Module
The GE Fanuc IC660BBD101 is a rugged 115VAC discrete I/O module designed for GE’s Genius I/O system, offering 8 configurable channels (input/output) with advanced fault protection and environmental resilience. Engineered for industrial automation, this module bridges field devices (switches, solenoids, sensors) with GE PACSystems RX3i/RX7i PLCs, ensuring reliable signal processing in harsh environments like manufacturing, energy, and chemical plants.
1. Product Description
The IC660BBD101 excels in converting 115VAC signals to safe levels for PLCs while supporting dynamic reconfiguration of each channel as input, tri-state input, or output. Its key features include electronic fusing (30A surge/20A continuous protection), adjustable input filtering (10–100ms), and 1500VAC channel isolation to resist voltage spikes. With a compact design (7.6cm × 22.9cm × 10.2cm), it fits standard Genius racks and integrates seamlessly with GE’s Proficy Machine Edition for parameter tuning.

4. Application Areas and Use Cases
Industry-Specific Applications:
Manufacturing: Controlling conveyor solenoids in a Toyota plant, with 1500V isolation preventing PLC crashes from welding equipment surges.
Energy: Monitoring pump status in a Saudi Arabian oil field, where -40°C 耐寒性 ensured winter operations without heaters.
Chemicals: Activating emergency shutdown valves in a BASF plant, with 10ms input filtering eliminating false signals from agitator vibrations.
Case Study: A French steel mill deployed 30 IC660BBD101 modules to manage 240+ furnace sensors. The module’s electronic fusing and wide voltage tolerance reduced unplanned stops by 80%, translating to €1.2M annual savings.

6. Selection Recommendations
Voltage Needs:
Choose IC660BBD101 for 115VAC systems; use IC660EBD101 for 24VDC applications.
Verify field device voltage (e.g., 110VAC proximity sensors).
Environment:
Opt for IC660BBD101-H (IP65) for washdown areas (food/pharma).
Avoid modules without Class I, Div 2 certification in hazardous zones.
Redundancy:
Pair with Genius dual-bus for 99.99% uptime (cost +25%, used in nuclear plants).
Single modules suffice for non-critical lines (e.g., HVAC).
7. Precautions
Installation:
Torque terminals to 0.5 N·m (4.4 lbf·in) and use 12–22 AWG shielded wires.
Ground the module to a single point (<1Ω) to prevent EMI.
Maintenance:
Clean dust quarterly with compressed air (<50 psi).
Replace modules after 10 years (capacitor aging threshold).
Safety:
Power down for 5 minutes before hot-swapping to discharge residual voltage.
Follow NEC 430 for motor control circuit wiring.
