PRODUCT INFORMATION
Product Overview
The General Electric IC660BBS101 is an 8-point isolated I/O block belonging to the Genius I/O series. This hardware interface module supports both alternating current and direct current power supplies. The unit functions at a nominal voltage rating of 115 VAC or 125 VDC. It provides 8 isolated circuits to manage discrete field signals and connected actuator devices.
The device delivers 1500 V of block-to-block isolation to suppress noise and transient interference across circuits. Each output circuit manages a rated load current of up to 2.0 A during normal operation. For alternating current, the operating frequency spans from 50 Hz to 60 Hz. The power supply dropout tolerance is one complete cycle for AC lines and 10 milliseconds for DC lines.
