GE IC660ELS100: Versatile Industrial I/O Module for Genius Networks

This industrial module handles digital input and output signals efficiently. It connects directly to a Genius LAN for distributed control applications. You can mount this unit up to 750 feet from the host controller. The module operates reliably in harsh factory environments without special cooling.

Technical Specifications & Key Parameters

Detailed Feature Overview

GE IC660ELS100 combines 16 inputs and 16 outputs in one housing. This design saves rack space compared to separate I/O modules. You can configure each input as sink or source for wiring flexibility. Similarly, all outputs provide 0.5 A continuously per channel.

The unit communicates via the Genius LAN protocol. It supports redundant bus cables for maximum system availability. A 1500 µF capacitor stores enough energy for short power dips. This feature holds output states steady for 20 milliseconds. Consequently, critical actuators avoid nuisance tripping during minor fluctuations.

Installation and Field Wiring

This module draws only 300 mA from the backplane power supply. Its 0.68 kg weight allows easy handling during installation. Two removable connectors simplify wiring replacements without rewiring. Use 16–22 AWG copper wire for all field connections. Additionally, the unit withstands 0°C to 60°C operating temperatures.

Diagnostic and Status Features

The module includes LED indicators for each channel. Green lights show active inputs while amber lights confirm output status. A red fault LED alerts you to communication errors. Moreover, the module performs automatic self-checks every 100 milliseconds.
