GE Fanuc IC660BPM100 Genius PowerTRAC Block
A Genius bus power-monitoring block for three-phase voltage and current measurement, calculated electrical data, waveform capture and overcurrent-event recording.
01Product Profile
IC660BPM100 is the ordering number identified in the GE Fanuc Genius PowerTRAC Block User's Manual. The block monitors voltage and current inputs and makes calculated power-system data available to a Genius host or a Genius Hand-held Monitor.
The hardware is divided into a permanently wired Terminal Assembly and a removable Electronics Assembly. Current-transformer, potential-transformer, block-power and Genius-bus wiring land on the terminal assembly, so the electronics can be removed without disturbing the fixed field wiring or block configuration.
Selection must be based on the complete model and the intended PT/CT arrangement. The manual describes operation with one to three potential transformers and up to three current transformers, with at least one qualifying voltage input required for line-frequency synchronization.

03Measurement Path
- Input stage: PT and CT signals enter through the permanently wired Terminal Assembly.
- Sampling stage: voltage and current inputs are sampled at sixteen times line frequency for eight consecutive cycles.
- Calculated stage: the block develops voltage, current, active power, reactive power and effective system power-factor information.
- Delivery stage: calculated values and status data are refreshed twice per second for the Genius host or Hand-held Monitor.
04Data and Installation
Additional calculated data
A second group provides additional calculated information that can be requested when the application needs more than the regularly exchanged data set.
Waveform and event records
Requested table data can include waveform samples for seven inputs and overcurrent-event information. Event capture includes three cycles before and five cycles after the trigger.
Installation boundary: retain the complete terminal and electronics assembly relationship, verify PT and CT wiring against the manual, and configure the block address and baud rate for the actual Genius bus.
Serviceability: the electronics assembly is removable while the terminal assembly retains fixed wiring. The manual states that CT-secondary electrical continuity is maintained when the electronics are removed.
05FAQ
What PT and CT arrangement can IC660BPM100 monitor?
The manual describes one to three potential transformers and up to three current transformers. At least one voltage input of the required level is needed for line-frequency synchronization.
Can IC660BPM100 operate without a PLC host?
Yes. GE Fanuc documents a stand-alone arrangement in which a Genius Hand-held Monitor provides configuration and operating displays.
Which Genius bus rates are available for IC660BPM100?
The documented choices are 153.6 Kbaud standard, 153.6 Kbaud extended, 76.8 Kbaud and 38.4 Kbaud.
How often does IC660BPM100 refresh calculated values?
Calculated values and status data are updated twice per second after the block samples the voltage and current inputs.
What happens to CT circuits when IC660BPM100 electronics are removed?
The terminal assembly remains wired, and the manual states that electrical continuity on CT secondaries is maintained when the electronics assembly is removed.
What record types can be requested from IC660BPM100?
In addition to regular calculated and status data, the host can request additional calculated data, waveform tables and overcurrent-event information.
