GE Fanuc IC660EPM100J Genius PowerTrac Module
1. Product Description
The GE Fanuc IC660EPM100J is a high-performance power monitoring module designed for industrial and energy management systems, part of the Genius I/O family. It monitors voltage/current inputs (via potential/current transformers) and calculates critical parameters like active power, reactive power, power factor, and kilowatt-hours. Supporting both single-phase and delta-configured 3-phase systems, the IC660EPM100J converts analog data into digital signals for real-time monitoring via Modbus TCP/RTU or Genius Bus. With dual power inputs (115/230V AC or 125V DC) and isolated channel design, it ensures stable operation in harsh environments. The module integrates with GE’s control platforms (e.g., RX3i, RX7i) and supports remote configuration via a Genius Handheld Monitor (HHM).

5. Competitor Comparison
Compared to similar modules:
- Dual Power Flexibility: Supports both AC/DC inputs (many alternatives offer single power type).
- Long-Distance Communication: Operates up to 7500 ft from the host (vs. 500–1000 ft in standard models).
- Integrated Waveform Storage: Stores raw data for post-fault analysis (basic models lack this feature).
6. Selection Recommendations
- Power Requirements: Match input voltage (AC/DC) and current transformer ratings (e.g., 5A CTs).
- System Scale: Choose for 3-phase systems; use single-phase modules (e.g., IC660EPM100) for simpler setups.
- Environment: Ensure temperature (0°C to +60°C) and humidity (5–95% non-condensing) align with site conditions.
- Compatibility: Verify Genius Bus compatibility (e.g., GE RX3i/RX7i chassis).
7. Precautions
-
Wiring Safety: Use shielded cables for CT/PT inputs; follow terminal block polarity guidelines.
-
Power Stability: Ensure clean power supply to avoid signal interference (voltage sags >10% may cause errors).
-
Calibration: Factory-calibrated; recheck annually or after transformer replacement.
-
Hot Swap: Do not remove the electronics assembly while powered (no hot-swap support).
-
Mounting: Secure with #12 screws; avoid vibrations exceeding 1.0g (10–200 Hz).
