I/O modules

This analog I/O block provides flexible signal processing for distributed control applications. It belongs to the GE Genius I/O series, a product line now supported by Emerson Automation. The IC660BBA100 combines analog input and output capabilities in a single field-ready enclosure.

Technical Specifications

Engineers will appreciate the block’s versatile configuration options for various signal types. It accepts 115 VAC supply power for direct integration into industrial environments. The unit delivers 12-bit plus sign resolution for precise analog measurement.

Configuration and Signal Handling

This block allows users to configure each input circuit for voltage or current signals. It supports four distinct voltage ranges alongside the standard 4-20 mA current loop. Moreover, the two output channels provide reliable analog control for actuators and positioners.

Technicians can select the appropriate range using simple jumper settings on the terminal board. The IC660BBA100 offers 12-bit plus sign resolution, translating to 13 bits total for signals. This resolution delivers accurate readings across the full input span.

Design and Installation

The Genius Block design simplifies field installation with its rugged, sealed housing. It mounts directly on equipment or DIN rails without requiring additional enclosures. Furthermore, the unit communicates over the Genius bus using a single twisted-pair cable.

Emerson continues to support legacy Genius I/O systems with genuine replacement modules. The IC660BBA100 integrates seamlessly with existing Genius networks for distributed control architectures.
