Compatible Replacement & Equivalent Models
The following models are commonly evaluated as replacements or equivalents for the IC660BBA105. Compatibility depends on your bus architecture, channel count, and signal range requirements.
- IC660BBA020 – GE Genius I/O Analog Output, 2-channel, 4–20 mA (reduced channel count)
- IC660BBA100 – GE Genius I/O Analog Output, 4-channel, 0–20 mA variant (verify signal range)
- IC660BBA104 – GE Genius I/O Analog Output, 4-channel, voltage output (0–10 V); signal type differs
- IC660BBA106 – GE Genius I/O Analog Output, 4-channel, extended range; confirm firmware compatibility
- Emerson RX3i Analog Output Modules – Suitable for full system migration; requires bus adapter and engineering effort
Note: Always verify bus address settings, firmware revision, and load impedance before substituting modules in a live system.

- Max Modules per Bus: Up to 32 Genius devices per bus segment
- Not Compatible With: Profibus DP, DeviceNet, EtherNet/IP without gateway adapters
Selection Guide
Use the following criteria to confirm the IC660BBA105 is the right module for your application:
- Signal Type: Do you need 4–20 mA current output? ✔ IC660BBA105 is correct. Need voltage output? → Consider IC660BBA104.
- Channel Count: Need 4 independent analog output channels? ✔ IC660BBA105. Need only 2? → IC660BBA020.
- Bus Architecture: Running GE Genius Bus? ✔ IC660BBA105 is native. Running Profibus? → Requires gateway or system migration.
- Resolution Requirement: 12-bit resolution sufficient? ✔ IC660BBA105. Need 16-bit? → Evaluate Emerson RX3i AO modules.
- Environment: Operating within 0–60°C? ✔ Standard IC660BBA105. Harsh/extended temp? → Consult GE extended-range variants.

Replacement & Compatibility FAQ
Q: Can IC660BBA104 replace IC660BBA105?
A: Only if your application accepts voltage output (0–10 V) instead of current (4–20 mA). Signal type is different — not a direct drop-in replacement.
Q: Is IC660BBA105 compatible with GE Series 90-30?
A: Yes, when used with a compatible Genius Bus Scanner module connected to the Series 90-30 rack.
Q: Can I use IC660BBA105 on a Profibus network?
A: No. The IC660BBA105 uses GE’s proprietary Genius Bus protocol. A gateway device is required for Profibus integration.
Q: What is the difference between IC660BBA105 and IC660BBA106?
A: The IC660BBA106 offers an extended output range. Verify your system’s firmware and bus scanner compatibility before substituting.
Q: Do you offer warranty on used IC660BBA105 units?
A: Yes — all units undergo functional testing and carry a 30-day warranty. Extended warranty available on request.
