IC670CBL001
Product Name
GE (Emerson) IC670CBL001 Pre-Assembled Shielded I/O Terminal Block Connection Cable(The naming follows GE Fanuc’s industrial cable conventions:
- “IC670”: Denotes compatibility with the Field Control I/O system (a legacy GE automation platform now managed by Emerson).
- “CBL”: Abbreviation for “Cable,” clarifying its role as a connection component.
- “001”: Designates the standard pre-assembled variant for terminal block interconnection.
This cable acts as a “signal bridge” for GE’s Field Control system, linking terminal blocks, I/O modules, and controllers to ensure seamless data flow in process automation.)
2. Product Description
The IC670CBL001 is an industrial-grade pre-assembled shielded cable engineered to address core challenges in automation system wiring: signal interference, installation inefficiency, and compatibility issues with legacy I/O hardware. It integrates shielded signal protection, plug-and-play design, and broad compatibility with GE/Emerson systems—making it ideal for:
- Connecting IC670CHS001 (and similar) terminal blocks to adjacent modules or Bus Interface Units (BIUs) .
- Extending I/O interfaces in GE Fanuc PAC systems (e.g., PAC 8000) and Proficy Process Control environments .
- Harsh industrial settings (oil & gas, power, water treatment) requiring reliable signal transmission amid EMI and vibration .
Key Functional Advantages:
-
Shielded Design for EMI ImmunityConstructed with twisted-pair conductors and a full metal shield, it minimizes electromagnetic interference (EMI) from variable-frequency drives (VFDs) and high-voltage equipment . This ensures signal integrity for both discrete and analog I/O data, critical for precision process control (e.g., pressure/temperature monitoring).
-
Pre-Assembled for Rapid InstallationEliminates on-site cable cutting, crimping, and termination—reducing wiring time by 70% compared to custom cables . Factory-terminated connectors (matching IC670-series terminal block interfaces) ensure consistent performance and avoid human error in wiring.
-
Seamless Compatibility with Legacy GE HardwareNatively supports GE Fanuc Field Control modules (FC 2000, AC 2000, DC 2000, etc.) and Emerson’s inherited automation platforms . It enables hot-swapping of I/O modules (when paired with BIUs ≥ firmware v2.1) without disconnecting existing wiring .
-
Industrial-Grade DurabilityFabricated with PVC insulation (environmentally compliant) and rugged connectors, it withstands extreme temperatures (-40 °C to 70 °C), moisture, and vibration . IP65-rated protection (when mated) makes it suitable for dusty or damp plant floors .
-
Simplified System ScalabilitySupports daisy-chaining of multiple terminal blocks, allowing incremental I/O expansion without redesigning the wiring topology . This flexibility is key for retrofitting aging control systems with minimal downtime.
