PRODUCT INFORMATION
Product Overview
The General Electric IC660BBS102 is a Genius I/O Block - Low Leakage Isolated I/O unit. It provides eight circuits arranged into four isolated groups of two channels each. Each circuit operates with nominal voltages of 115 VAC or 125 VDC. The unit supports direct serial communication across the standard Genius I/O bus protocol.
This device features built-in electronic fusing on every output point. It isolates short circuits within five microseconds to protect internal hardware components. Comprehensive diagnostics detect failed switches, loss of I/O power, and thermal overload conditions. The unit supports CPU redundancy and retains its last output state upon communication interruption.
