Factory Automation Diagnostics Solution – GE IC660HHM501 | Series Six / Genius I/O
Where This Product Is Used
The GE IC660HHM501 Hand Held Monitor is a portable diagnostic and programming terminal purpose-built for GE Series Six PLC systems and Genius I/O networks. It is deployed across a wide range of industrial environments where engineers require direct, on-site access to controller logic, I/O block status, and network diagnostics without a dedicated workstation.
- Automotive Assembly Lines — Real-time monitoring of Genius I/O blocks during line commissioning and changeover.
- Petrochemical & Refining Plants — Safe, portable diagnostics in areas where laptop access is restricted or impractical.
- Pulp & Paper Mills — On-floor troubleshooting of Series Six CPU faults and I/O block communication errors.
- Water & Wastewater Treatment — Field verification of discrete I/O status and block configuration without shutting down the process.
- Food & Beverage Processing — Rapid fault isolation during unplanned downtime to minimize production loss.
- Power Generation & Utilities — Commissioning and maintenance of Genius bus segments in high-availability environments.

Application-Specific FAQ
Q: Is the IC660HHM501 compatible with GE Series 90-30 or Series 90-70 PLCs?
A: No. The IC660HHM501 is designed exclusively for the GE Series Six CPU and Genius I/O bus architecture. It is not compatible with Series 90-30 or 90-70 systems, which use different programming terminals (e.g., IC693CBL316 cable with Logicmaster 90 software).
Q: Can this unit be used to program ladder logic?
A: The IC660HHM501 is a diagnostic and monitoring tool, not a full programming terminal. It allows engineers to read block status, view faults, and verify I/O states on the Genius bus. Full ladder logic programming requires GE’s Logicmaster 6 software on a compatible PC.
Q: What cable is required to connect the HHM to the Genius bus?
A: The IC660CBL500 is the standard connection cable for the IC660HHM501. Confirm your bus connector type before ordering.
Q: Do you offer a warranty on refurbished units?
A: Yes. Konmask provides a 90-day functional warranty on all refurbished units. Extended warranty options are available — contact us for details.
Q: Can you supply a Certificate of Conformance (CoC)?
A: Yes. CoC documentation is available upon request for all units. Please specify your requirement at the time of order.
