Description
GE IC660HHM501H Product Specification
Product Overview
The GE IC660HHM501H is a portable handheld monitor engineered for GE’s Genius I/O platform, designed to configure, troubleshoot, and monitor distributed I/O modules in industrial automation systems. As a critical tool for maintenance technicians and engineers, this device simplifies on-site management of Genius components, enabling real-time diagnostics and parameter adjustments without requiring connection to a central PLC or software workstation.
Integrated into the Genius ecosystem, the GE IC660HHM501H connects directly to modules like the GE IC660BBS102 (discrete I/O) and GE IC660BBA104 (analog I/O) via a detachable cable, supporting communication over the Genius bus protocol (1 Mbps). Its backlit LCD display (240×128 pixels) provides clear visibility of module status, input/output values, and fault codes, even in low-light environments such as control cabinets or factory floors.
The GE IC660HHM501H’s compact design (180 mm × 80 mm × 40 mm) and lightweight structure (300 g) make it easy to carry during rounds, while its rugged construction—including a rubberized casing and IP54-rated enclosure—resists dust, water splashes, and drops (up to 1.2 m). It operates on 4 AA batteries (or an optional 9 VDC adapter), offering 8–10 hours of continuous use to support full-shift maintenance tasks.
Key functionalities include module identification, parameter configuration (e.g., input filtering, output defaults), fault logging, and firmware updates for connected Genius modules. By eliminating the need for laptop-based software like GE’s Proficy Machine Edition, the GE IC660HHM501H reduces downtime during troubleshooting, making it indispensable in industries where rapid issue resolution is critical—such as automotive manufacturing, power generation, and chemical processing.

Intuitive Configuration Tools:
With a menu-driven interface and dedicated function keys, the GE IC660HHM501H simplifies parameter adjustments—such as setting input filtering (10–100 ms) on GE IC660BBS102 or scaling analog outputs on GE IC660BBA104. Users can save configurations to internal memory (up to 100 profiles) for reuse across similar systems, streamlining setup in large facilities like power plants.

Real-Time Data Visualization:
The backlit LCD display shows live input/output values, module health status, and bus communication metrics, enabling immediate verification of system changes. For instance, after adjusting a valve actuator via a GE IC660BBA104 module, technicians can use the GE IC660HHM501H to confirm the output current matches the desired setpoint (4–20 mA) without leaving the field.
