IC660BCM501
GE
Overview
The IC660BCM501 is a Battery charger from GE. It is part of GE's industrial automation product portfolio.
Application & Technical Notes
As a battery charger, the IC660BCM501 is intended for deployment in panel-based control cabinets and machine enclosures where the GE product portfolio equipment is installed. It performs a defined automation function within the control system and is selected to match the installed GE platform.
Key published characteristics include a 115 / 230 Volts AC rating. These values should be confirmed against the current manufacturer datasheet before final selection, as options and suffixes vary by configuration.
Maintenance & Diagnostics
Inspect terminals and connectors for corrosion or looseness, and confirm the module seats correctly in its carrier. Always de-energise the circuit and follow lock-out/tag-out before handling; refer to the official instruction bulletin for service procedures.
Sourcing & Procurement
When sourcing the IC660BCM501, distinguish three supply tiers: (1) genuine GE stock from an authorised distributor; (2) compatible equivalents or surplus/NOS (new-old-stock) from third parties; (3) alternative parts offering equivalent function. Genuine supply carries the full warranty and traceability; compatible or alternative items may be cheaper but should be validated for form, fit, firmware and certification before use in a live system. PLCXpert publishes this page as an independent reference and does not sell the part — verify every claim with the manufacturer or your distributor.
Confirm mechanical and electrical compatibility with your GE product portfolio installation and the intended function. Lead times and pricing vary by region and lifecycle status; obtain a current quote from an authorised channel rather than relying on stale listings.

Specifications
The IC660BCM501 is a handheld monitor battery charger from the GE Fanuc Genius I/O family. IC660BCM501 is a valuable operator interface device that is best used to set up and monitor Genius I/O and communications systems. It weighs 3 lbs. and is operated using either the built-in battery or a 115 volt or 230 volt AC power supply. The battery pack must always be installed to operate IC660BCM501 even when using AC power. IC660BCM501 comes with an LCD display that has four lines of 16 characters each and a 20-key sealed membrane keypad. The keypad has three sets of keys, including function keys F1-F4, operation, and decimal keys. English is the main display language; however, language can easily be changed to French, Italian or German. The screen on IC660BCM501 acts as the operator’s window to the Genius bus and its other devices courtesy of a keyswitch. The switch can be set to either configure (cfg) or monitor (mon) positions. When the switch is in the configure position, all functions are available. The handheld monitor can be configured to determine features that will be usable once the key is removed. While the keyswitch is in monitor position, IC660BCM501 can monitor bus and block data. Functions such as clearing faults or configuring I/O blocks can be used in monitor mode only if IC660BCM501 has been set up to allow their use. The keyswitch must be present to move the switch from monitor to configure mode. The keyswitch can only be removed in monitor position. Each new handheld monitor is sold with two identical keys. It is advisable to remove the key if system security becomes a concern. IC660BCM501 is also catalogued with the following product codes: CIMIC660BCM501, GEFIC660BCM501, and 1C660BCM501. The GE Fanuc IC660BCM501 device is a battery charger. The IC660BCM501 battery charger is used for charging of the internal battery pack on the GE IC660HHM501 hand-held monitor.
