The GE IC660TBD024 is a Discrete Output Terminal Base Assembly engineered to provide a dependable field wiring interface for discrete output connections within GE Fanuc Genius I/O distributed automation systems. Designed for industrial environments, it serves as the field termination platform for discrete output devices such as relays, solenoids, contactors, and indicator lamps, routing field wiring securely into the discrete output electronics module.
By separating field connections from sensitive electronic components, the IC660TBD024 improves maintainability, reduces wiring errors, and supports organized installations across machine cabinets and remote I/O panels.

Field Wiring Purpose and Function
The IC660TBD024 terminal base provides a structured point for wiring discrete output devices, typically including:
-
Solenoid coils and valve drivers
-
Relay and contactor circuits
-
Alarm lamp and indicator circuits
-
Motor starter output lines
-
General on/off output loads
Field device leads are terminated at screw-clamp terminals, which then route signals through the terminal base to the paired discrete output electronics assembly (such as IC660EBD024). This separation supports cleaner wiring runs and allows electronics modules to be serviced without disturbing field terminations.
