The GE IC660EBR100 provides a compact I/O assembly block for Genius distributed networks. You can mount this unit on a DIN rail or panel in remote locations. It combines discrete and analog I/O in a single sealed housing. This block suits harsh industrial environments with vibration and moisture.
Technical Specifications and Hardware Layout
This assembly block measures 210 mm in height. Its width reaches 145 mm, and the depth equals 55 mm. The GE IC660EBR100 weighs approximately 0.88 kilograms. A single internal PCB holds all input and output circuits. The block contains no energy storage capacitors or batteries. One 20-pin removable terminal block handles all field wiring connections. Two 9-pin D-sub connectors provide the redundant Genius bus interface. Eight green LEDs display the status of all I/O channels.

I/O Specifications and Performance
The GE IC660EBR100 includes eight digital inputs and eight digital outputs. It also provides two analog input channels for process signals. The digital inputs accept 24 V DC from sensors and limit switches. Each digital output switches 0.5 A at 24 V DC for actuators. The analog inputs accept 4 to 20 mA signals from transmitters. Consequently, this block suits mixed I/O applications in a single unit. Genius bus communication uses a redundant configuration for high reliability. The block requires an external 24 V DC power supply for operation.
Installation and Communication Guidelines
You must mount this block on a DIN rail using the integral clips. Transitioning to wiring, use shielded cables for analog input connections. Two rotary switches set the block address from 0 to 31 easily. The block supports Genius bus baud rates of 153.6 kbit/s. Eight front LEDs show power, bus activity, and channel faults. The operating temperature range spans from -20°C to +70°C reliably.
