Each output contact is rated at 5VDC / 24 VDC / 125 DC or 120 / 240 VAC nominal, with an actual voltage range of 0-130 VDC, 0-265 VAC, 47-63 Hz, and a maximum load current of 16 A per module.The modules are available in a fixed-coil, moving-armature relay type with a maximum current draw of 313 mA.

The module has typical isolation ratings between input-to-logic, user input-to-frame ground, and group-to-group isolation, specifically, 250 VAC continuous, 1500 VAC for 1 minute.

The module has a maximum current rating of 2.0 amps for resistive loads, a voltage range of 5 to 265 VAC; 5.30 amps for 2 to 0 VDC and 31.125 amps for 0 to 2 VDC, and a maximum inrush current of 5 A for 20 ms, with a maximum load current of 10 mA per input The module has a typical response time of 10 ms to ON and OFF signal transitions, and if used with inductive loads, the response time is 10 ms per input. The module’s response time to ON and OFF signal transitions is typically 10 ms, and when used with inductive loads, the maximum switching frequency is 20 cycles per minute per channel.

The IC670PBI001 is a Profibus interface unit that is part of the GE Fanuc field control family. This electrical device is mounted on the bus interface terminals and is powered by an external 24 VDC supply voltage. It allows field control I/O modules to exchange data with GE CPU modules over a Profibus network, enabling a high-speed distributed I/O architecture.

The IC670PBI001 is equipped with two (2) 9-pin D-shell connectors, one of which serves as a Hand Held Programmer (HHP) port for downloading and monitoring the IC670PBI001. while the other serves as a network interface port for data transfer at 9.6. 19.2. 93.75. 187.5. 500. 1500 Kbits, 3 Mbits, and 3 Mbits. The other port is used as a network interface port and communicates via the Profibus network at standard data rates of 9.6. 19.2. 93.75. 187.5. 500. 1500 Kbits, 3 Mbits 6 Mbit and 12 Mbits. This port requires shielded twisted pair or Belden #9463 cable as the physical medium for the Profibus network. The port supports linear Profibus topology or daisy-chain connections where the first and last nodes of the network are terminated by resistors. A single IC8PBI670 can host up to eight (001) field control I/O modules.

The Field Control IC670TBM001 Auxiliary Terminal Block is an auxiliary terminal block manufactured by GE Fanuc.

It provides additional terminals for analogue and high-density discrete I/O modules.

It also provides additional ground, return, or common connections. It comes with 9 barrier type terminals.

Each terminal accepts 1 or 2 AWG #14 gauge wire with a 2.1 mm2 cross section.

It can also be used to provide additional terminals for the shield during field wiring.

The IC670TBM001 Auxiliary Terminal Block’s connection point connection provides enough locations to easily terminate two wires from discrete I/O devices on the control panel.

The IC670TBM001 auxiliary terminal block can be connected to a properly installed DIN rail.

During installation, be sure to install the I/O terminal block first before inserting the auxiliary terminal block into the DIN rail.

The auxiliary terminal mounting lugs are positioned on the right side of the DIN rail.

During field wiring, the chassis ground of any module can be connected to the ground terminal of the auxiliary terminal block.

For 3-wire or 4-wire transmitters, an additional terminal strip with IC670TBM001 auxiliary terminal block must be used.

The module terminals are electrically connected together from the inside. If additional common terminals are required for efficient field wiring.

This optional terminal strip is an optimal solution for field control systems.

It can be connected as an additional device to the side of the I/O terminals in the field control station.

The GE Fanuc IC670TBM002 terminal block is an auxiliary I/O terminal block for devices in the GE Field Control product line, such as field control I/O modules.

The IC670TBM002 auxiliary I/O terminal block is typically used as an additional terminal block for I/O systems that require high-density discrete I/O modules and analogue modules.

All terminals on the IC670TBM002 auxiliary I/O terminal block are internally and electrically interconnected.

Auxiliary I/O terminal blocks such as this one connect to the side of the host I/O terminal block, and they have panel-mounting feet that allow them to be mounted on a panel.

The GE Fanuc Field Control IC670TBM002 Auxiliary I/O Terminal Block has box-type terminals instead of the barrier-type terminals found on other auxiliary I/O terminals.

Its panel-mounting feet not only allow it to be panel-mounted, but also help it and its host device meet product vibration specification ratings, because they are as stable as possible during operation.

They also help it and its host device meet the product’s vibration specification ratings because they hold the Auxiliary I/O Terminal and its host device as stable as possible during operation.

The IC670TBM002 Auxiliary I/O Terminal Block can be field wired using instrumentation-grade shielded twisted-pair wire.

This wire is recommended because of its high noise immunity rating.
