GE IC670CHS101

Specification

Number and specifications of terminals: There are 37 terminals in all, two of which are utilized to connect system power supply, while the remaining terminals can be used according to user application needs.

Capacity for accommodation and types of the modules: GE IC670CHS101 can accommodate up to 2 GE Fanuc I/O modules and support a variety of signal types, including analog, discrete, RTD/thermocouple, etc., thus providing a flexible platform to configure different types of I/O.

Method of installation: GE IC670CHS101 can be installed on a DIN rail, and each terminal block must be properly grounded to the conductive DIN rail connected to the user-provided distribution board.

Communication function: GE IC670CHS101 provides backplane communication for establishing a communication link to achieve data transmission between the I/O modules and the system. This module is designed for hot-swap functionality, allowing I/O modules to be inserted or removed while the system is running, allowing for maintenance and upgrades.

Protection and compatibility: The GE IC670CHS101 comes with factory-installed barrier connection points, which also provide short-circuit or wrong-connection protection and assure complete physical isolation across any connection point from the others. This way, damage to equipment and failure of the system due to short circuits or wrong connections may be effectively avoided. It can also be in series with other similar modules, but these have to be positioned in the correct polarity order so communication problems in the system are avoided.

Features

More number of input and output points: The GE IC670CHS101 has 37 input or output points, which can accommodate the signal connecting needs of many other devices. It can connect several field devices such as sensors and actuators within more complex industrial control scenarios to minimize terminal wiring needs, thus optimizing control cabinet-space layout.

Capability for series installation: The GE IC670CHS101 could be in series with other similar modules.  It has to be connected in the right polarity order allowing that way normal communication in the system so that the I/O capability of the system could be expanded in a flexible way to cater for industrial automation systems of different magnitudes.

Module installation and fixation: GE IC670CHS101 uses more simple module installation by just inserting additional ones into this terminal block and locking them down with screws, effectively avoiding accidental disconnection from panel vibration and ensuring stability over the system under tough industrial settings.

Application

The manufacturing of electronic products: The electronic product assembly line, including manufacturing automation equipment of electronic products such as mobile phones and computers, can be monitored and controlled by GE IC670CHS101 on various equipment and process parameters in the production line. For instance, the sensor of the placement machine detects the position and state of the placement head. In addition, it controls the speed of the conveyor belt and its start and stop to realize the correct placement and efficient production of electronic product components.

The sewage treatment process: During sewage treatment, various sensors and actuators, such as dissolved oxygen sensors, sludge concentration sensors, etc. in various sewage treatment equipment connect with General Electric IC670CHS101. It automatically adjusts the operating parameters of the aeration, sludge return, and other equipment per the water quality and treatment targets for sewage, thereby improving sewage treatment efficiency and effect. For example, during activated sludge sewage treatment, the dissolved oxygen content in the aeration tank is monitored in real time by GE IC670CHS101, which automatically adjusts aeration fan speed to create a good living environment for the microorganisms and promote organic matter decomposition and removal from the sewage.

The Railway: In rail transport systems, such as subways and light rail, the GE IC670CHS101 is available for connection and control of control systems on the trains and signal systems. For example, on subway cars, it connects the door controls, sensors, and motors to the train braking system's sensors and actuators to achieve automatic door opening and closing control and safe brake control, thus ensuring passenger safety and normal train operation.
