GE IC660BBD101 Genius I/O Block

Overview

The GE IC660BBD101 is a Genius I/O Block designed for industrial automation. It connects discrete sensors and actuators to a communication bus efficiently. Emerson Automation now maintains this module, originally manufactured by GE Fanuc. Notably, all eight circuits are configurable as either inputs or outputs.
