Product Overview
The GE IC660TSA100 is a high-performance temperature sensor amplifier module designed for industrial automation systems, specifically as part of GE’s Series 6000 Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) platform. Engineered to provide precise signal conditioning and amplification for temperature sensor inputs, the GE IC660TSA100 plays a critical role in maintaining process accuracy across industries such as power generation, oil and gas, and manufacturing. This module integrates advanced analog signal processing with rugged industrial design, ensuring reliable operation in harsh environments where temperature measurement precision is non-negotiable.
As a key component of the Series 6000 family, the GE IC660TSA100 supports up to 8 channels of temperature sensor inputs, enabling real-time amplification and conditioning of signals from RTDs, thermocouples, and other temperature transducers. It features a 16-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) for high-resolution signal processing and supports input ranges from -10 to +10 VDC or 4–20 mA, ensuring compatibility with a wide array of field sensors. The module’s compact form factor (100 mm × 150 mm × 75 mm) and lightweight design (0.8 kg) facilitate easy integration into control panels, while its 24 VDC power supply and wide operating temperature range (-40°C to +70°C) make it suitable for demanding industrial applications.
In automation systems, the GE IC660TSA100 acts as a bridge between temperature sensors and the PLC, enhancing measurement reliability by amplifying weak sensor signals and filtering out electrical noise. Its built-in self-diagnostic functions monitor channel health and alert operators to potential failures, minimizing downtime and improving system availability. By combining precise signal conditioning with robust connectivity via GE’s Genius Bus, the module empowers engineers to optimize process control, reduce energy consumption, and maintain compliance with industry standards for precision manufacturing.

Main Features and Advantages
Precision Signal Amplification: The GE IC660TSA100 utilizes advanced amplification algorithms to condition temperature sensor signals, ensuring measurement accuracy within ±0.1% of full scale. This capability is vital in applications where slight temperature variations could lead to process inefficiencies, such as chemical reactors or high-precision manufacturing lines.
Multi-Channel Flexibility: With 8 configurable channels, the module supports a mix of voltage (0–10 VDC) and current (4–20 mA) inputs, adapting to diverse sensor types without hardware modifications. This flexibility reduces inventory needs and simplifies system integration in hybrid automation setups, where multiple sensor technologies may be deployed.
Rugged Industrial Design: Built with a rugged metal enclosure and conformal-coated PCBs, the GE IC660TSA100 resists dust, moisture, and electromagnetic interference (EMI), making it suitable for harsh environments like offshore platforms, steel mills, or mining facilities. Its wide temperature range eliminates the need for additional climate control, lowering installation and maintenance costs.
Real-Time Diagnostics: Integrated self-test functions monitor channel performance, power supply stability, and thermal conditions, providing real-time feedback via front-panel LEDs and the PLC’s human-machine interface (HMI). This proactive diagnostic capability helps identify potential issues before they escalate, reducing mean time to repair (MTTR) and enhancing overall system reliability.
Seamless PLC Integration: As part of GE’s Series 6000 platform, the GE IC660TSA100 connects directly to the Genius Bus, enabling high-speed data transfer to the PLC’s central processor. This integration supports real-time adjustments and eliminates the need for external signal conditioners, streamlining control architecture and improving system responsiveness.
