Functional Description
IC660HHM501 is a handheld monitor developed by GE Fanuc. The GE Fanuc Hand-held Monitor (HHM) is an interface device designed for the setup, monitoring, and configuration of Genius I/O and communication systems. It can also serve as a portable monitoring tool if needed. This versatile, portable interface device allows operators to set up, monitor, and configure Genius I/O systems, providing an invaluable tool for both commissioning and troubleshooting automation systems. The HHM offers users real-time visibility into the system’s operational status, as well as the ability to manage faults, clear errors, and force I/O operations as needed, all without needing a stationary console.
Key Features and Capabilities
- User-Friendly Interface: Equipped with a 20-key sealed membrane keypad, which consists of function keys, decimal keys, and operation keys. This keypad allows easy navigation through the system’s functions, including configuration, monitoring, and troubleshooting tasks. The keys are designed for reliability, ensuring efficient and precise operation even in industrial environments.
- Display and Visual Feedback: The device features an LCD display that shows four lines of sixteen characters each, providing clear, concise system information. The display can be configured to show diagnostics, I/O data, and global data addresses, as well as the bus scan time and memory data from connected CPUs. Supports multiple languages, including English, German, French, and Italian, allowing for ease of use in different regions.
- Portability and Durability: Weighing just 1.8 pounds (with case), the device is lightweight and designed for portability, making it ideal for technicians who need to move between various locations within a facility. The HHM is robust enough to withstand drops, having passed a drop test from a height of 4 feet onto a concrete floor, ensuring it can handle the rigors of an industrial environment.
- Flexible Power Options: It can be powered through 115VAC or 230VAC external power, or by its rechargeable battery pack. The battery allows up to 6 hours of continuous operation, ensuring uninterrupted monitoring even in the event of a power failure. This flexibility makes it a reliable tool for use in remote locations or during maintenance activities, where consistent power might not be available.
- Enhanced Monitoring and Troubleshooting: One of the standout features of this handheld monitor is its ability to perform real-time monitoring of the system. Operators can view I/O statuses, check error messages, and access other diagnostic data to identify and address issues promptly. This functionality allows for quick identification of faults, minimizing downtime and reducing the time spent troubleshooting. The device also supports hardware configuration, allowing users to configure devices, assign addresses, and set communication parameters for the Genius I/O system. It provides detailed views of the bus scan time and memory data from CPUs, which can be crucial for debugging and system optimization.
- Advanced System Management: Capable of I/O forcing and bus selection, allowing operators to simulate or control specific data points within the system for testing purposes. This is essential for ensuring that devices are communicating correctly and for checking the behavior of the system during troubleshooting.
Additionally, the HHM can be configured with security settings to restrict access to certain features, ensuring that only authorized personnel can perform critical operations.
System Reliability and Diagnostics
- By providing immediate access to diagnostic data, significantly enhances the reliability of the Genius I/O system. It allows for early detection of system faults, which helps in preventing equipment failure or performance degradation. Operators can quickly address issues, reducing downtime and optimizing the overall performance of the automation system.
- Moreover, the handheld monitor helps in extending the operational lifespan of critical equipment by facilitating timely corrective actions.
Expandability and Optional Accessories
- External HHM Connector: For users who need a permanent connection to the Genius Bus, this accessory allows for continuous monitoring and communication without the need for repeated manual connections.
- Mounting Brackets: It can be mounted on the back panel of a Genius I/O PLC using the provided metal mounting brackets. This installation method ensures a secure and convenient setup, ideal for users who want to integrate the HHM directly into their control systems.
- 230V Power Adapter and Battery Charger: These accessories can be purchased separately to ensure the HHM has reliable power options available at all times.
Power and Battery Features
The rechargeable battery pack is designed to provide up to 6 hours of operation without external power, ensuring that technicians can continue to monitor and interact with the system even during power interruptions. The device can be easily recharged when connected to an appropriate power source. This capability is especially valuable in environments where power stability is uncertain, as it ensures that operations can continue without disruption.
