IC660BBR101 GE Fanuc Relay Output Block 16 Outputs

IC660BBR101 Normally Open Relay Output Block from GE Fanuc

The IC660BBR101 belongs to the GE Fanuc Genius I/O series. This block delivers 16 normally open relay outputs. All contacts remain open by default. Power application closes the gap between circuit components. You can use this module for various low-power control and indication tasks. Additionally, it supports CPU redundancy and bus switching functions.

Key Technical Specifications

This module includes 16 output circuits. They split into four groups. Each group contains four outputs. The relay type uses a fixed coil and moving armature design. Operating frequency ranges from 47 to 63 Hertz. Each output handles a load current of 2 Amps. Output circuit group isolation reaches 1500V AC.

Power and Voltage Details

The IC660BBR101 has a factory setting of 115 VAC. You can adjust it to 230 VAC using jumpers on the assembly. Operating voltage spans 93 to 132 VAC or 185 to 265 VAC. Each output accepts either AC or DC power. Compatible devices operate from 5 to 250 Volts AC. They also work from 5 to 220 Volts DC. This flexibility makes the block suitable for many field devices.

Configuration and Setup Options

A handheld monitor allows easy customization of the IC660BBR101. You can set up power-up output actions through this monitor. The device also lets you revert to factory settings when needed. Electrical communication interference may trigger this reset feature. You can also select redundancy types using the monitor. Moreover, this block can serve as a bus switching module (BSM) for system flexibility.

LED Status Indicators

The IC660BBR101 features multiple LED indicators. An I/O Enabled LED shows communication status. A Unit OK LED displays overall block health. Individual LEDs also show each output's condition. A blinking LED indicates a circuit fault. When the LED remains OFF, the block is faulty or not receiving power. A simple ON LED signals optimum performance. These indicators help you troubleshoot issues quickly without extra tools.

Environmental and Mechanical Ratings

The IC660BBR101 operates between 0°C and 60°C. This temperature range suits most industrial floors. Storage temperature spans from -40°C to 100°C. Humidity tolerance reaches 5 to 95% non-condensing. These ratings work for both operation and storage environments. The relay type is fixed coil with moving armature. This design ensures reliable switching over many cycles.

Installation Guidelines

Mount this open-type module inside a protective enclosure. Industrial contaminants must stay away from the unit. The block connects directly to a Genius I/O network. Use a handheld monitor at the dedicated port for local setup. No rack or backplane is required for operation. Fasten the module through its built-in mounting holes. Ensure proper grounding before applying power.

How Bus Switching Mode Works

The IC660BBR101 can function as a bus switching module. This mode allows the block to manage communication paths. It helps maintain system operation during certain faults. You enable this feature through the handheld monitor. The configuration determines how outputs behave during bus switches. This capability adds redundancy to your control architecture.

Comparison with IC660BBR100

GE Fanuc offers two relay output blocks in this series. The IC660BBR101 provides normally open contacts. The IC660BBR100 delivers normally closed contacts. Choose the IC660BBR101 when your circuit needs power to close. Choose the IC660BBR100 when default closed contacts are required. Both blocks share the same voltage and current ratings. Both support the same environmental specifications.
