GE IC660ELA100 Analog I/O Modules

The GE IC660ELA100, also cataloged as the IC660ELA100 Analog Genius I/O Electronic Assembly, operates as a dedicated hardware component for analog signal processing and serial bus communication execution within Genius I/O Block systems. Housing the central intelligence and signal conversion electronics for the IC660CBA100 terminal block base, the module provides direct physical/electrical execution to process field I/O signals across the Genius LAN network.

Hardware Specifications

Dedicated Hardware Features

The IC660ELA100 electronic assembly latches into the passive terminal base to interface directly with the Genius serial bus. Capable of high-speed backplane bus communication velocity across the field network, the unit offloads A/D and D/A conversion, diagnostic fault checking, and channel filtering locally at the block level. Onboard firmware flash compatibility ensures synchronized global data transfers with host PLC controllers without consuming main CPU scan time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can the IC660ELA100 electronic assembly be replaced without disturbing field wiring?

A: Yes, because field wiring connects directly to the passive IC660CBA100 terminal assembly base, the IC660ELA100 electronic assembly can be unlatched and replaced independently without disconnecting any field I/O wiring.

Q: What power source is required to energize the IC660ELA100 assembly?

A: The module requires a nominal 115 VAC power feed supplied through the corresponding power terminals on the terminal block base to operate its internal logic and field analog processing circuits.

Field Installation Guidelines

1. Power Isolation: De-energize the 115 VAC main power feed to the terminal block base before seating or removing the IC660ELA100 assembly.
2. Base Attachment: Align the guide pins on the rear of the IC660ELA100 with the matching sockets on the IC660CBA100 terminal block base. Press firmly until the mechanical locking mechanism engages.
3. Shield Grounding: Verify that the Genius LAN shield wire is terminated at the designated shield terminal on the base to preserve signal integrity and protect against electromagnetic interference.
4. Address Configuration: Set the unique Genius LAN device address on the block assembly per system configuration drawings before bringing the network online.
