GE IC755CSS15CDA QuickPanel+ – 15-inch Industrial HMI for Machine Visualization and Control

The GE IC755CSS15CDA is a QuickPanel+ operator interface, typically used on production lines, packaging systems, and OEM machinery where a clear 15-inch touchscreen and reliable 24 VDC operation are non-negotiable. From my experience, it’s a solid fit when you need an XGA-class display, panel-mount sealing (NEMA 4/4X, IP66 front when properly installed), and straightforward Ethernet/serial connectivity without adding extra gateways. You might notice that projects move faster with QuickPanel+ thanks to its well-supported drivers for common PLCs and intuitive development workflow.

Key Features

• 15-inch TFT LCD, XGA-class clarity – Typically 1024×768 resolution for crisp P&ID screens and trend views.
• Resistive touchscreen – Works reliably with gloves; ideal for shop-floor use.
• 24 VDC industrial power – Common control-panel supply; simplifies wiring alongside PLCs and sensors.
• Ethernet + serial built in – In most cases supports Modbus TCP/IP and Modbus RTU out of the box; easy tie-in to existing PLCs.
• Panel-mount, IP66/NEMA 4/4X (front) – Properly gasketed installation delivers robust front-panel protection against dust and washdown.
• USB for updates and data moves – Convenient recipe transfer, data logging exports, and firmware/service tasks.
• Runtime flexibility – Typically engineered with Proficy tools; reduces learning curve for GE/PACSystems users.
• Proven on the floor – A food & bev integrator told us they cut changeover time by ~25% by moving to this model for recipe-driven line setups.

Technical Specifications

Related or Supporting Products

• IC755CSW15CDA – 15-inch class widescreen variant (typically 15.6” 16:9); better for multi-pane layouts.
• IC755CSS12CDA – 12-inch standard-screen option for tighter panels.
• IC755CSW10CDA – 10-inch widescreen; compact with similar connectivity.
• PACSystems RX3i / RXi controllers – Common PLC pairing; native driver support streamlines tag mapping.
• 24 VDC DIN-rail PSU (e.g., 120 W) – Ensures headroom for HMI inrush and accessories like USB storage.
• Panel accessories – Replacement gasket, mounting clips, protective screen overlay for washdown areas.

Installation & Maintenance

• Cabinet & environment – Mount on a rigid, grounded panel; maintain ventilation so the door area stays within 0–55°C. Avoid direct steam/jet spray unless shielded.
• Wiring – Supply from a 24 VDC SELV source with proper overcurrent protection. Use shielded twisted-pair for RS‑485 and bond shields at a single point to reduce noise.
• Ethernet – Keep network cables away from VFD motor leads. If there’s electrical noise, a small DIN-rail switch with metal shielded RJ45 often helps.
• Grounding – Connect the HMI ground lug to panel ground; this typically improves touch stability and reduces EMI susceptibility.
• Routine care – Clean the screen with a soft damp cloth (no solvents). Back up recipes/logs to USB, and apply firmware/runtime updates during planned downtime.
• Service note – If the touchscreen response drifts over time, power-cycle and recalibrate via the runtime menu; it usually resolves glove-use offset.

Quality & Certifications

• Certifications: CE, UL/cUL, RoHS (varies slightly by production revision; certificate copies available on request)
• Protection ratings: IP66 / NEMA 4/4X (front) when correctly installed with the supplied gasket
• Warranty: 365 days replacement/repair as specified above

If you’re migrating older GE QuickPanel or third-party HMIs, this model typically shortens commissioning—most tags and drivers port cleanly, and the 15-inch screen gives operators room for richer diagnostics without cramming. One thing I appreciate is the balance between simplicity and capability; it’s not over-complicated, yet it handles multi-protocol plants well.
