The GE IC660TBA024 is a Terminal Base Assembly designed for use within GE Fanuc Genius I/O distributed control systems. It provides a secure and organized interface between field wiring and the corresponding analog I/O electronics assembly, supporting four analog inputs and two analog outputs in a single module.
By serving as the physical connection point for sensors and actuators, this terminal base simplifies wiring, enhances signal integrity, and enables reliable analog data flow between field devices and the control network.

Function and Field Wiring Role
The IC660TBA024 serves as the field wiring interface in a Genius analog I/O station. Field device leads — such as 4–20 mA current loops or voltage sensors — are terminated on the screw-clamp terminals. From there, the signals are routed through the terminal base into the corresponding analog output/input electronics assembly.
This separation of wiring and electronics allows for:
-
Cleaner installation and easier troubleshooting
-
Enhanced signal integrity by reducing noise and connection issues
-
Faster electronics replacement without touching field terminations
