Selection Suggestions and Precautions

Selection Suggestions

• Choose GE IC660ELB912 for retrofitting/expanding GE Genius I/O networks, especially when offloading host CPUs or integrating with IBM PC – based systems.
• Prefer it for applications needing up to 30 bus devices, legacy system compatibility, and reliable cross – controller communication via Global Data/datagrams.

Precautions

• Mount GE IC660ELB912 on single/dual – slot PCIM modules using spacers; avoid adhesives to ensure airflow and mechanical stability.
• Power GE IC660ELB912 with a stable 5VDC supply (±5% tolerance) to prevent communication errors or processor crashes.
• Match baud rates (38.4K/76.8K/153.6K) across all Genius bus devices to avoid data loss with GE IC660ELB912.
• Use shielded cables for Genius bus connections to GE IC660ELB912 to maintain noise immunity in high – EMI industrial environments.
