Overview

The IC660BPM100 is a Power monitor block from GE. It is part of GE's industrial automation product portfolio.

Application & Technical Notes

As a power monitor block, the IC660BPM100 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 125 Volts DC, 115 / 230 Volts AC inputs rating, an operating temperature range of 0 to +60 Degree Celsius (+32F to +140 Degree Fahrenheit). These values should be confirmed against the current manufacturer datasheet before final selection, as options and suffixes vary by configuration.

Maintenance & Diagnostics

Respect the published operating temperature window (0 to +60 Degree Celsius (+32F to +140 Degree Fahrenheit)); do not exceed it during commissioning or in enclosed panels without airflow. For storage and transit, keep the unit within -40 to 212 degrees Fahrenheit. 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 IC660BPM100, 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

IC660BPM100 is a Power Monitoring Block (PMB) in the GE 90-30 series that measures RMS values of current, power, VARs, power factor, and watt-hours, even if waveforms are distorted. This PMB also measures line frequency and detects/captures overcurrent waveforms above a configurable level. IC660BPM100 can be used for both 4-wire and 3-wire systems and utilizes simple user connections. This PMB comes equipped with direct connection for up to three transformers and three line current transformers in addition to one neutral current transformer. It carries low current transformer burden (less than 0.1 VA), is software configurable, and is designed for mounting in electrical distribution and process equipment. Its integral power supply takes either 115/230 VAC or 125 VDC inputs. It can be installed on bus up to 7500 feet from the host. This PMB is CPU redundancy configuration compatible and does not need a host to be used for stand-alone monitoring. The block’s electronics assembly may be inserted or removed without interfering with block configuration or field wiring. Additionally, no CT shorting clips are needed. IC660BPM100 provides accurate and stable RMS measurements regardless of higher-order harmonics due to dual analog and digital techniques. Measurement updates occur approximately twice per second with the help of block sampling. IC660BPM100 requires enough memory space to accept 36 bytes of calculated data. The PLC or computer will then send 16 output control bits to the block, which creates “handshaking” protocol. When planning the block’s placement, adequate clearance is required for routing wiring and for proper airflow around the block. The user must also leave room at the front of the block for attaching a handheld monitor The IC660BPM100 is a PowerTrac Block Module that is part of the Genius I/O series, formerly by GE Fanuc now under Emerson Automation. This module is used in Power Monitoring applications, able to monitor current and voltage parameters and store measured values in digitized waveforms. This module calculates RMS voltage, current, active power, reactive power, KWH, and power Technical specifications for IC660BPM100 Brand GE Fanuc Series Genius I-O
