This module is an intelligent input module that supports daisy-chain topology and reports directly to a controller or communication adapter connected to the same network.

The IC660BBD110 input channels are designed to receive signal voltage range of 93-132VAC with frequency of 47-63 Hz with nominal value of 115VAC. It has a programmable threshold of 25% to 85% for both ON and OFF states. This module is also equipped with internal channel diagnostics, capable of detecting open and shorted wire. Both diagnostic properties also have programmable thresholds of 25% - 85% and fixed threshold of 10-90%, respectively. This module exhibits an input processing tume of 1 ms with software configurable input filters of 10 to 100 ms, in 10 ms increments. This input filter allow rejection of noise and signal bounces.

The IC660BBD110 module measures 8.83” (22.44cm) x 3.34” (8.48cm) x 3.91” (9.93cm) (HxWxD) and weighs 4 lbs. (1.8 kg). It comes with LED indicators such as Unit OK, I/O enabled and individual input LEDs. It has internal isolation of 1500V from ground to serial bus.

The IC660BBD110 connects to the Genius Bus via the terminal block installed below the module’s LED indicators. This terminal is a 3-pin terminal that may be accessed by opening the hinged door. This module may be installed in right-side up or upside-down orientation.

The IC660BBD110 discrete input block comes with advanced diagnostics and selectable thresholds. Some of the most common input connection contact closure connections with devices like switches, limit switches, and pushbuttons. It can make connections with 2-wire proximity switch inputs and 3-wire proximity switch inputs.

The GE Fanuc Genius I-O IC660BBD110 discrete input block operates safely and at full power in a temperature range of 32 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit (0 to 60 degrees Celsius), and it can be stored safely in an environment with a temperature range of -40 to 212 degrees Fahrenheit (-40 to 100 degrees Celsius.) The safe ambient humidity levels for the IC660BBD110 discrete input block in operation and in storage are between 5 and 95%, non-condensing. This input block weighs 4 pounds or 1.8 kilograms. It measures 8.8 x 3.3 x 3.9 inches (22.4 x 8.4 x 9.9 centimeters). For device protection, the IC660BBD110 discrete input block can be configured by software to detect shorted wire faults and open wire faults.
