GE IC660HHM501N

  • Product Introduction: This is a 4-channel high-speed pulse output (PTO) module for the VersaMax PLC. It uses transistor (NPN) outputs and is designed for generating precise pulse trains for stepper motor and servo drive control. It supports frequencies up to 100kHz and is commonly used in motion control, indexing, and positioning applications.

  • Working Principle:
    • The CPU writes target pulse count and frequency to the module’s internal registers via the backplane bus. The module’s internal hardware generates the pulse train autonomously using a crystal oscillator. Each output transistor switches on/off to produce the pulse train. The CPU can update parameters in real-time without stopping the pulse output.
  • Installation Requirements:
    • Mount in VersaMax chassis
    • Connect external 24VDC pull-up supply to each output (if not using internal)
    • Use twisted-pair cable for pulse outputs to reduce EMI
    • Keep pulse cables away from AC power lines
  • Usage Precautions:
    • Do not connect outputs directly to AC loads — transistor outputs are DC only
    • Ensure external pull-up voltage does not exceed 30VDC
    • Do not exceed 100mA per channel — use external relays for higher loads
    • Add flyback diodes for inductive loads (solenoids, relays)
    • Do not hot-swap
