Each circuit is configurable as an input or output and operates at a nominal voltage of 115 VAC \/ 125 VDC. This intelligent block communicates over the Genius bus as a stand-alone remote I\/O device, making it ideal for distributed control architectures that require electrical isolation between signal groups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCircuits:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8, in 4 isolated groups of 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Voltage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 115 VAC \/ 125 VDC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOperating Range:\u003c\/strong\u003e 93-132 VAC (47-63 Hz) \/ 105-132 VDC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutput Current:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 A RMS (AC) \/ 2 A resistive, 1 A inductive (DC) per circuit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePeak Block Output:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15 A @ 35°C, 7.5 A @ 60°C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInput Filter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10-100 ms selectable in 10 ms increments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlock-to-Block Isolation:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1500 V\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFusing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Internal electronic short-circuit trip (100 ms AC \/ 10 ms DC long-time trip)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeat Dissipation:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16.8 W max with all inputs on; 45.6 W max with all outputs at 2 A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOperating Temperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0°C to +60°C; humidity 5-95% non-condensing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8.83 x 3.34 x 3.91 in (22.44 x 8.48 x 9.93 cm); weight 4 lbs (1.8 kg)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIsolated channel groups:\u003c\/strong\u003e Four electrically isolated groups of two circuits protect sensitive signals and simplify mixed-voltage wiring.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFull channel diagnostics:\u003c\/strong\u003e Detects open wire, overtemperature, short circuit, overload, no-load, and loss of I\/O power, reported to the CPU and the hand-held monitor.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eElectronic fusing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Internal trip circuits protect outputs without replaceable fuses; tripped channels can be restored by command from the CPU or hand-held monitor.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGenius bus communication:\u003c\/strong\u003e Operates as a stand-alone remote I\/O node on the Genius distributed network.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePer-circuit LED indication:\u003c\/strong\u003e Individual LEDs display the state of each circuit, plus Unit OK and I\/O Enabled status LEDs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLow-leakage design:\u003c\/strong\u003e Minimizes off-state leakage current for accurate input sensing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQ: What does the IC660BBS103 replace?\u003c\/strong\u003e A: It replaces the older IC660BBS101 I\/O block.
