GE Fanuc IC660BPM500 Battery Pack

Configured to supply portable power for diagnostic hand-held hardware units, the GE Fanuc IC660BPM500 (IC660BPM500 Battery Pack) provides direct physical/electrical execution.

Suffix Breakdown & Model Matrix

The catalog identifier follows standard GE Fanuc Genius I/O accessory nomenclature:

• IC660: Specifies the Genius I/O hardware platform series.
• BPM: Designates a Battery Pack Module or power accessory unit.
• 500: Identifies the specific hardware variant and voltage rating matched to the companion monitor.

Hardware Specifications

Profinet / EtherNet/IP Deterministic Networks and I/O Density

The battery pack interfaces directly with compatible diagnostic terminals to supply stable operating voltage for the integrated 4x16 LCD screen and local control circuitry. By delivering isolated portable power, the unit allows maintenance technicians to configure, monitor, and troubleshoot distributed nodes locally without relying on external auxiliary power feeds. I/O density scaling and local communication protocols ensure that network diagnostics remain active and uninterrupted during field calibration and bus testing procedures.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can the IC660BPM500 battery pack be recharged while connected to an active Genius I/O serial bus line?

A: No. The battery pack is designed as a self-contained power source for the IC660HHM501 handheld monitor and must be charged using its dedicated AC input circuit rather than drawing power directly from the serial data lines.

Q: What is the maximum operating runtime provided by a fully charged battery unit?

A: A fully charged battery pack provides up to 6 hours of continuous operational runtime under standard environmental conditions.

Field Installation Guidelines

• Ensure the charging input voltage matches the specified 115 VAC to 230 VAC range before connecting power to the internal charger.
• Store the battery unit within ambient temperature limits ranging from -40 deg C to 70 deg C to prevent degradation of internal cell chemistry.
• Verify secure mechanical latching when docking the battery pack to the companion IC660HHM501 handheld monitor housing to maintain reliable power pin contact.
