GE IC660BBA105 Analog Output Module: Precision Current Sourcing for Genius I-O Systems

This analog output module delivers six precision 4 to 20 milliamp current sourcing outputs for Genius I-O networks. It operates as a stand-alone remote I-O module using Genius communication protocol for distributed control. Automation engineers choose this unit for its high-resolution output and reliable performance in industrial applications.

Technical Specifications and Physical Design

The GE IC660BBA105 functions as a current sourcing analog output block within the Genius I-O product line. It features six analog outputs with 6 microamp resolution for precise signal generation. The unit weighs approximately 1.45 kilograms, incorporating a 32-terminal connection point for field wiring. Its outputs share a common group configuration, simplifying wiring arrangements.

Output Precision and Signal Generation

This module delivers 4 to 20 milliamp output signals with 6 microamp resolution for precise analog control. It supports an extended output range of 0 to 24 milliamps for additional application flexibility. The current sourcing design drives field devices directly without external power supplies. Such precision makes it suitable for demanding process control and actuation tasks.

Network Architecture and Stand-Alone Operation

The module utilizes Genius communication protocol, functioning independently as a remote I-O node. It connects directly to the Genius bus without requiring a local controller at the field location. This architecture simplifies distributed control system design and reduces wiring complexity. Many facilities rely on these analog output blocks for their Genius I-O networks.
