GE IC660BBS103M

The GE IC660BBS103M is a Bus Branch Splitter Module within General Electric (GE)’s Genius™ Distributed I/O System, specifically designed for industrial automation control systems. Its primary function is to expand the branches of the Genius Bus Network, enabling multi-device connection and flexible topological structures. This module allows users to split a single Genius Bus into multiple branches, supporting more complex device layouts and system expansion. It is suitable for distributed control applications in fields such as manufacturing, power, and water treatment.

Core Values of IC660BBS103M

• Network Expansion Capability: Splits a single Genius Bus into multiple branches, supporting more flexible device layouts.
• Signal Integrity: Maintains the signal quality of the Genius Bus, reducing signal reflection and attenuation.
• Plug-and-Play Functionality: Requires no configuration and can be directly integrated into existing Genius Network.

Key Features and Advantages

1. Flexible Network Topology

• Supports star, tree, or hybrid topologies to meet the needs of complex device layouts.
• Requires no software configuration and features plug-and-play functionality, simplifying installation and maintenance.

2. Signal Integrity Assurance

• Built-in signal conditioning circuits reduce Genius Bus signal reflection and attenuation.
• Configurable terminal resistors ensure impedance matching for each branch.

3. High Reliability

• Operates in a wide temperature range of -40°C to +70°C, adapting to harsh industrial environments.
• Passive design (no external power supply required) reduces potential failure points.

4. Seamless System Integration

• Natively compatible with the Genius I/O System (e.g., IC660ELB912 digital module).
• Supports connection to Series 90-70 PLC or VersaMax PLC.

Application Fields

Manufacturing

• Expands distributed I/O for automobile production lines, supporting multi-area device connection.

Power Industry

• Used in substation automation systems to connect multiple remote I/O cabinets.

Water Treatment

• Enables distributed control of large pump stations, allowing flexible layout of sensors and actuators.

Installation and Maintenance

Installation Key Points

• Mount the module on a DIN Rail to ensure secure fixation.
• Use shielded twisted-pair cables to connect the Genius Bus, and install terminal resistors (120Ω) at both ends of the bus.
• Configure terminal resistors for each branch according to the topological structure (terminal nodes require terminal resistors to be enabled).

Maintenance Recommendations

• Regularly check if bus connectors are loose to ensure reliable communication.
• Monitor network status through status indicators and troubleshoot faulty branches in a timely manner.
