General Electric IC660TBD022 Terminal Assemblies

The GE IC660TBD022 Terminal Assembly is a high-performance component from the Genius I/O series manufactured by GE Intelligent Platforms (formerly GE Fanuc). This unit is designed to function within distributed control systems and industrial automation networks, specifically to interface field devices with control processors through Genius I/O communication.

The IC660TBD022 is a 32-circuit Terminal Assembly designed for use with discrete I/O blocks. It supports either sourcing or sinking I/O and is engineered for robust operation in harsh industrial environments. The Terminal Assembly serves as the point of field wiring connection and integrates tightly with the block electronics to form a complete Genius I/O block assembly.

Its rugged design, ease of wiring, and solid compatibility with GE’s automation infrastructure make it a reliable component for complex and mission-critical industrial automation systems.
