Application & Technical Notes

As an of component i/o base, barrier style, the IC670CHS001 is intended for deployment in panel-based control cabinets and machine enclosures where the GE product portfolio equipment is installed. It performs a defined automation function within the control system and is selected to match the installed GE platform.

Specific electrical and mechanical ratings depend on the exact configuration and suffix of the part; the original datasheet should be consulted for the definitive specification.

Maintenance & Diagnostics

Inspect terminals and connectors for corrosion or looseness, and confirm the module seats correctly in its carrier. Always de-energise the circuit and follow lock-out/tag-out before handling; refer to the official instruction bulletin for service procedures.

Sourcing & Procurement

When sourcing the IC670CHS001, distinguish three supply tiers: (1) genuine GE stock from an authorised distributor; (2) compatible equivalents or surplus/NOS (new-old-stock) from third parties; (3) alternative parts offering equivalent function. Genuine supply carries the full warranty and traceability; compatible or alternative items may be cheaper but should be validated for form, fit, firmware and certification before use in a live system. PLCXpert publishes this page as an independent reference and does not sell the part — verify every claim with the manufacturer or your distributor.

Confirm mechanical and electrical compatibility with your GE product portfolio installation and the intended function. Lead times and pricing vary by region and lifecycle status; obtain a current quote from an authorised channel rather than relying on stale listings.

Specifications

I/O Base, Barrier Style GE Fanuc Field Control CHS001 PLC Rack IC670 IC670C IC670CHS IC670CH The IC670CHS001 is an I/O terminal block from the Field Control platform, currently under Emerson Automation, formerly produced by GE Intelligent Platforms (GE IP). This is a Barrier style I/O carrier that comes with 37 terminals that can accommodate up to Two (2) Field control modules. This terminal block accommodates up to Two (2) solid or stranded of copper wires ranging AWG #14 Technical specifications for IC670CHS001

Description

Note	The IC670CHS001 is a terminal block module from the Field control series, formerly by GE Fanuc, now under Emerson Automation. This module comes with barrier style terminal blocks which accommodate signal wires to and from electrical loads and signaling devices. It provides modular connectivity as this module permits removal and insertion of hosted I/O modules without the need of removing the existing wiring connections. The IC670CHS001 also provides backplane communication as this module comes embedded with connector that attaches to the adjacent terminal block module. This terminal block module is capable of hosting up to Two (2) modules, supporting discrete I/O and analog I/O modules. The IC670CHS001 comes with a total of 37 termination points. Each terminal can accommodate up to Two (2) wires with size range of #14 (2.1 mm2) through AWG #22 (0.35 mm2) wires. Applicable wire insulation rating is 90 Degree Celsius while the recommended tightening torque is 8 in-lb. For wiring of the ground terminal, applicable wire size is AWG #14 (avg 2.1mm2 cross section) and must not exceed 4 inches or 10.16 cm in length. This terminal block module support DIN rail or panel mounting in horizontal orientation. With the use of the IC670CHS001, hot insertion and removal in non-hazardous application areas can be implemented when installed with an appropriate Bus Interface Unit (BIU) specifically, BIU modules with firmware version of 2.1 or later. For connection of one or more terminal bases, compatible pre-assembled cables for use are IC670CBL001. In addition, auxiliary terminal block may also be attached to this module to provide extra grounding, signal return and signal common connections. The GE Fanuc Field Control IC670CHS001 is a barrier style terminal block that can have host up to Filed Control modules. it, enabling communications between modules connected into its backplane and serving as endpoint terminals for connections to external field devices. They support the installation of 2 modules. These modules are mechanically screwed to the GE Fanuc IC670CHS001 I/O base in order to avoid accidental disconnections due to equipment vibration. The I/O base terminal block comes from the factory with protective barriers that prevent contact with adjacent cables and short circuits during the connection or disconnection of devices. An important thing to take note of is that these modules support the connection and disconnection of cabling even while the module is powered on. There are 37 screw terminals in a GE Fanuc IC670CHS001 I/O base. Two of those terminals, marked as terminals A and B, are for power supply connections and the remaining 35 are used for individual terminal connections. The terminals can accommodate AWG #14 (2.1 square millimeters) through AWG #22 (0.35 square millimeters) cables. The GE Fanuc IC670CHS001 I/O base is keyed in order to avoid the incorrect connections of additional I/O modules. These additional modules are mounted onto the base by pressing them firmly against it once they have been placed in the right positions. It is always necessary to tighten the screws of the module into the base, in order to prevent vibrations from disconnecting the modules from the I/O base. The manufacturer recommends using a maximum torque of 8 to 10 pounds on an inch.
