Product Introduction
The GE IC660TSS100 is a 24/48 VDC sink-type discrete output terminal assembly within GE Fanuc’s widely used Genius I/O family. Designed for interfacing with field devices such as solenoids, relays, lamps, and contactors, this terminal assembly is specifically intended for industrial automation systems where precise and reliable control of output devices is critical.
The IC660TSS100 is engineered to work in harsh industrial conditions and supports 16 individually controlled output channels. It allows for sinking current configuration, making it well-suited for control applications where field devices are wired with a common positive voltage. The module uses screw-clamp terminals to facilitate secure wiring and fast servicing.
Thanks to its robust protection circuitry and compatibility with Genius I/O Blocks, this assembly provides a reliable, cost-effective, and modular solution to expand or upgrade discrete control in factory automation systems.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
What is the primary function of the IC660TSS100?
It provides 16 discrete sinking outputs for controlling external DC-powered field devices. -
What is the difference between sink and source outputs?
Sink outputs provide a path to ground (0V), while source outputs supply voltage (V+). The TSS100 is a sink output module. -
Can I use this terminal with AC-powered devices?
No, this unit is designed strictly for DC operation within the 24–48 VDC range. -
How many devices can be connected to each output?
Each output channel supports up to 2A. Multiple devices can be connected as long as the combined load doesn’t exceed this. -
Are fuses replaceable or built-in?
Fuses are field-replaceable and protect each output channel independently. -
Is the IC660TSS100 hot-swappable?
No, the device should be powered down before replacement or servicing. -
How does it connect to the rest of the Genius system?
It connects via the Genius bus interface through the IC660 series I/O block backplane. -
Does it come with LEDs for status indication?
Some versions include channel status LEDs depending on the I/O block compatibility. -
Can this terminal be used outdoors?
Only if mounted inside an enclosure rated for outdoor use (e.g., NEMA 4/4X). -
Is software configuration required?
Minimal. Configuration is generally done on the Genius I/O block side; the terminal provides physical wiring points.
