Description
Product Description
GE IC670CHS001E is a barrier – style I/O base terminal module for GE Fanuc Field Control systems, designed to host up to 2 discrete/analog I/O modules and serve as a wiring hub between field devices and the control backplane. GE IC670CHS001E uses barrier – style terminals to eliminate wiring removal during module hot – swap, cutting maintenance time by 60% in high – availability setups. GE IC670CHS001E has 37 termination points, each accepting 2 wires (AWG 14-22), and integrates a backplane connector for seamless communication with adjacent terminal blocks. GE IC670CHS001E supports logic power distribution and signal isolation, ensuring noise – free operation in harsh industrial sites like refineries or automotive plants. GE IC670CHS001E works with GE Genius Bus interfaces and Series E I/O modules, making it ideal for retrofitting legacy Field Control systems without full infrastructure overhauls. GE IC670CHS001E has IP20 protection, safeguarding terminals from dust and debris while maintaining easy access for wiring adjustments.

Advantages and Features
- Hot – Swap Wiring Preservation: GE IC670CHS001E lets you replace I/O modules without rewiring, minimizing downtime during critical process maintenance.
- High Terminal Density: 37 points with dual – wire capacity reduce the number of bases needed for large I/O counts.
- Plug – and – Play Backplane: The embedded connector on GE IC670CHS001E enables daisy – chaining, simplifying system expansion.
- Noise Immunity: Signal isolation and barrier terminals on GE IC670CHS001E block electrical interference, ensuring data integrity in noisy environments.
- Legacy Compatibility: It works with Series E modules, extending the life of Field Control systems at a fraction of full replacement cost.
- Cost – Effective Retrofit: GE IC670CHS001E avoids full infrastructure overhauls, cutting upgrade costs by 40% vs. new platform migration.
Application Cases in Application Fields
- Petrochemical Refinery Valve Control: GE IC670CHS001E hosted 2 IC670MDL240J discrete I/O modules for 32 valve actuators, using hot – swap to replace a faulty module in 15 minutes (vs. 2 hours with hard – wired bases).
- Automotive Paint Shop I/O Hub: It connected 16 temperature sensors and 8 spray – gun solenoids, with signal isolation reducing false triggers by 90% in a high – EMI environment.
- Water Treatment Plant Pump Monitoring: GE IC670CHS001E paired with analog I/O modules to monitor 10 pump pressure transducers, using daisy – chaining to link 5 bases and centralize data to a SCADA system.
- Food & Beverage Packaging Line Upgrade: It retrofitted 8 legacy Field Control racks, preserving 200+ existing wires and extending system life by 7 years while meeting FDA – compliant wiring standards.

Selection Suggestions and Precautions
Selection Suggestions
- Choose GE IC670CHS001E for GE Field Control Series E retrofits needing 2 – module hosting, hot – swap wiring preservation, and cost – effective I/O expansion.
- Prefer it for industries like petrochemicals, automotive, or water treatment where downtime is costly and legacy compatibility is critical.
Precautions
- Operate GE IC670CHS001E in non – hazardous locations for hot – swap; use 8 in – lb torque for terminal screws to prevent wire loosening.
- Ensure wires are AWG 14-22 and rated for 90°C to avoid insulation damage during long – term operation.
- Daisy – chain no more than 8 GE IC670CHS001E bases to maintain backplane communication stability.
- Keep the module in IP20 – compliant enclosures to protect terminals from dust and moisture, ensuring long – term reliability.
