GE Fanuc IC660PM500 | Genius I/O IC660 Series Power Module — Industrial Automation Component

IC660 Genius I/O Platform

The IC660PM500 belongs to GE Fanuc's IC660 Genius I/O series — the Genius distributed I/O platform that connects field devices to GE PLC control systems via a high-speed serial bus network. The IC660 product family covers a wide range of discrete and analogue I/O blocks, bus controllers, power modules, and monitoring accessories that together form the Genius I/O system.

In the Genius I/O architecture, power modules handle the power supply function for the block or monitoring subsystem they serve. The IC660PM500 is the specific power module variant at the 500 position in the IC660 PM (power module) product sequence — a defined component at its position in the Genius I/O system hierarchy.

Because the IC660 series contains a large number of closely related modules that can appear physically similar while serving different functions, the part number — including all digits — is the definitive identification reference. The installed module's own label is the authoritative source for confirming that IC660PM500 is the correct replacement in a specific system position.

Key Specifications

Ordering and Compatibility

The IC660 PM sub-series covers power functions for various Genius I/O subsystems. Confirm IC660PM500 exactly from the installed module's label — adjacent IC660 PM variants are not interchangeable without verifying the specific power interface and system position.

FAQ

Q1: What platform does the IC660PM500 belong to?

The IC660 series is part of GE Fanuc's Genius I/O system — a distributed I/O platform connecting field devices to GE PLC controllers via serial bus. IC660 modules include I/O blocks, bus controllers, power modules, and accessories across the Genius system architecture.

Q2: How is the correct IC660 power module confirmed for a specific Genius I/O installation?

Read the part number from the installed module's label and match IC660PM500 exactly. The IC660 series contains many power and monitoring module variants. Adjacent part numbers may look similar but serve different positions in the Genius architecture. Do not order by physical appearance alone.

Q3: Is the IC660PM500 compatible with GE Series 90-30 PLC systems?

GE Fanuc's Genius I/O blocks are compatible with Series 90-30, Series 90-70, and other GE PLC platforms through the appropriate Genius bus controller interface. The specific compatibility of IC660PM500 in a given system configuration should be confirmed against GE's Genius I/O system documentation for the installed PLC platform.

Q5: Does replacing a Genius I/O power module require Genius bus reconfiguration?

Power module replacement within the Genius I/O system typically does not require bus reconfiguration — the bus communication parameters reside in the bus controller and connected I/O blocks, not in the power module. For a like-for-like replacement, the system should resume normal operation after installation. Refer to GE's Genius I/O system documentation for the specific replacement procedure.
