GE Fanuc IC670CHS002 Field Control Terminal Block
The GE Fanuc IC670CHS002, also cataloged as the IC670CHS002E I/O Terminal Base, operates as a dedicated hardware component for physical field wiring termination and module interconnections within GE Field Control systems. It provides direct electrical connectivity for up to two Field Control I/O modules, routing field signals through internal backplane buses to the primary Bus Interface Unit.

Backplane Bus Communication Velocity & I/O Density Scaling
The IC670CHS002 maintains backplane bus communication velocity across adjacent terminal bases through multi-pin internal connectors, passing logic signals without latency. Its dual-tier box terminal arrangement expands I/O density scaling inside control enclosures by accommodating 37 wiring termination points across a compact mounting footprint. Integrated firmware flash compatibility across installed processing cards relies on the base's mechanical alignment tracks to establish solid pin engagement and uncorrupted bus routing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does replacing an installed I/O module on the IC670CHS002 require disconnecting field wiring?
A: No. The I/O modules seat directly onto the top of the terminal base structure, allowing technicians to replace faulty modules without disturbing external field wiring terminated at the screw blocks.
Q: What is the maximum current rating permitted across individual screw terminals?
A: Each screw terminal supports a continuous maximum current load of 10 A.
Q: Can the IC670CHS002 base accommodate two wires per terminal point?
A: Yes. Each terminal position accepts either a single AWG #14 wire or two individual conductors ranging from AWG #18 to AWG #22.
Field Installation Guidelines
- De-energize all primary subrack supply power and external field wiring circuits prior to mounting or wiring the base unit.
- Snap the base assembly securely onto a standard 35 mm DIN rail or fasten it directly to the enclosure backpanel using mounting hardware.
- Strip field conductors to the specified strip length, insert wires into the 2-tier box terminals, and torque all screws to 4.5 in-lbs (0.51 Nm).
- Verify mechanical guide alignment before pressing I/O modules onto the base connector interface to avoid bending backplane contacts.
- Maintain adequate physical separation between high-voltage AC field wiring lines and low-voltage DC communication logic signals.
