The GE Fanuc IC670CHS002 is a high-performance terminal block for Field Control systems. It features isolated common groups (A, B, and E) for flexible power distribution and a modular design that allows for I/O module replacement without disconnecting field wiring.
The GE Fanuc IC670CHS002 serves as a foundational component within the Field Control distributed I/O system, providing a robust interface for signal termination and module mounting. This terminal block acts as the mechanical and electrical backbone for I/O modules, facilitating seamless communication between field devices and the Genius Bus network. By utilizing a high-density wiring design, the IC670CHS002 optimizes cabinet space while maintaining high signal integrity for industrial automation tasks.
Engineered for maximum flexibility, this unit features a specialized terminal layout divided into isolated common groups. The architecture includes three distinct sections—labeled A, B, and E—which allow engineers to segregate power distribution and signal routing effectively. While groups A and B typically manage standard power distribution, the isolated E-group provides five dedicated common terminals specifically for specialized application wiring. This separation significantly reduces electrical noise interference, ensuring the system maintains its 1 Mbps data transfer rate in demanding industrial environments.
The IC670CHS002 emphasizes operational uptime through its modular design. Because the field wiring attaches directly to the terminal block rather than the I/O module itself, maintenance teams can replace active modules without disturbing existing field connections. The unit employs a vibration-resistant screw mounting system to secure I/O modules firmly, ensuring reliable performance even in high-shock environments. Furthermore, terminals 1 through 16 are specifically reserved for I/O wiring, providing a standardized and intuitive layout for technicians.
As a critical element of GE’s Distributed Control System (DCS) portfolio, the IC670CHS002 supports a wide variety of Field Control I/O modules. It excels in complex processing plants and manufacturing facilities where reliable data acquisition and decentralized control are required. Its ability to maintain wiring integrity during module hot-swapping makes it an ideal choice for mission-critical systems that cannot afford extended downtime.
