GE Fanuc IC670CHS001E Field Control Terminal Base
The GE Fanuc IC670CHS001E, also cataloged as the IC670CHS001 Single-tier I/O Terminal Base, operates as a dedicated hardware component for physical wiring termination and backplane bus pass-through within GE Field Control distributed architectures. It secures a single I/O module while establishing direct electrical paths to the Bus Interface Unit.

Backplane Bus Communication Velocity & I/O Density Scaling
The IC670CHS001E preserves backplane bus communication velocity across local subracks by delivering low-impedance trace connections between the Bus Interface Unit and the attached field module. Its physical layout optimizes I/O density scaling inside control cabinets through a compact single-tier barrier configuration. Internal structural pin integrity prevents backplane signal distortion during live insertion processes, maintaining deterministic scan timing and firmware flash compatibility across host controller platforms.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the maximum continuous current rating per terminal on the IC670CHS001E base?
A: Each individual screw terminal point supports a maximum continuous current load of up to 10 A.
Q: Can an I/O module be replaced while the IC670CHS001E base remains powered?
A: Yes. The base supports live insertion and removal, allowing technicians to hot-swap compatible I/O modules without interrupting system power.
Q: What wire sizes and torque specifications apply to the 37 barrier terminal points?
A: The terminals accept either one #14 AWG wire or two #18 to #22 AWG wires, tightened to a maximum torque rating of 4.5 lb-in (0.51 Nm).
Field Installation Guidelines
- Mount the base securely on a standard 35 mm DIN rail or panel surface prior to attaching field conductors or I/O modules.
- Strip field conductors to manufacturer specifications and tighten screw terminals to exactly 4.5 lb-in (0.51 Nm) using a calibrated torque tool.
- Separate high-voltage power lines from low-level signal cables during tray routing to suppress electromagnetic interference across the terminal block.
- Verify module keyed alignment guides before seating the I/O module into the base connector to prevent pin deformation.
- Ground the DIN rail or backpanel to frame earth to ensure proper path execution for high-frequency transients.
