Description
Product Overview
The GE IC660EPM100J is a high-performance PowerTrac power monitoring module from the GE Fanuc Genius I/O product family. It delivers accurate electrical measurement, energy metering and power quality analysis for single-phase and three-phase industrial distribution systems.
This module interfaces with external potential and current transformers to capture voltage and current waveforms. It then calculates key electrical parameters and transmits the data to a host PLC or SCADA system via Genius bus or standard industrial protocols. With dual power supply support and robust isolation design, it ensures reliable, continuous operation in harsh industrial electrical environments. It is widely used for energy management, equipment protection and power quality optimization across manufacturing, energy and infrastructure sectors.
Core Product Features
- Supports 1-phase and 3-phase (wye or delta) systems, matching most industrial distribution network configurations.
- 14-bit high-resolution ADC delivers precise measurement of voltage, current, power, energy and frequency parameters.
- Dual wide-range power input (90–265 VAC / 100–150 VDC) supports redundant power sources for uninterrupted operation.
- Communicates over Genius bus (up to 7500 ft distance) and Modbus TCP/RTU for flexible integration with PLC and DCS platforms.
- 2 calculations per second update rate provides near-real-time monitoring for dynamic load changes.
- 4 built-in relay outputs enable basic load control and alarm action without additional control modules.
- Channel-to-channel electrical isolation suppresses surges and ground loop interference in noisy plant environments.
- Supports local data access via Genius Hand-Held Monitor for on-site commissioning and diagnostics.
