I/O modules

Overview

The IC670CHS001G belongs to the GE Fanuc Field Control family, a line of distributed I/O accessories for harsh environments. Engineers deploy this auxiliary terminal block to extend field wiring capacity on Field Control bases. Consequently, it simplifies connections for additional input and output devices.

Key Technical Specifications

The IC670CHS001G provides extra terminal points alongside a Field Control base unit. Moreover, it mounts directly onto the same base for a compact footprint. The table below lists the core parameters.

Installation and Interface Details

The block attaches directly to a Field Control base without extra brackets. Field wiring then lands on 12 removable screw terminals, which speed up commissioning. Furthermore, the removable design allows pre-wiring before installation. As a result, technicians extend I/O capacity without replacing the existing base.

Wiring and Signal Routing

The screw terminals accept wire gauges from 14 to 22 AWG. Meanwhile, clear terminal labeling reduces wiring errors during installation. Additionally, the flame-retardant housing resists heat and electrical faults. Therefore, the block handles signal routing for sensors, solenoids, and relays reliably.

Environmental and Mechanical Ratings

The enclosure operates from –40 °C to +70 °C in demanding plant conditions. Moreover, the sealed housing tolerates 5–95% relative humidity without condensation. The compact footprint of 120 mm × 60 mm × 45 mm fits tight field enclosures. Consequently, the block suits oil fields, water treatment plants, and conveyor systems.

Why Engineers Choose This Block

This block offers several practical advantages. First, it adds 12 terminals without a new base. Second, removable terminals speed up module replacement. Third, its rugged housing survives extreme temperatures. Therefore, maintenance teams simplify troubleshooting and reduce spare-part inventory.
