Description
GE IC670CBL001 Product Specification
Product Overview
The GE IC670CBL001 is a high-performance I/O expansion cable designed for GE Fanuc’s Series 90-70 and Series 90-30 PLC platforms, providing reliable connectivity between control modules and remote I/O racks. Engineered to meet the demands of industrial automation systems, this cable ensures seamless data transmission in harsh environments, making it ideal for applications in manufacturing, power generation, and oil and gas. The GE IC670CBL001 supports high-speed communication protocols and features a robust design to withstand vibration, EMI, and temperature fluctuations, ensuring consistent performance in critical operations.
As part of GE’s industrial control ecosystem, the GE IC670CBL001 facilitates the expansion of I/O capabilities by connecting the PLC’s central processing unit (CPU) to distributed I/O modules. With a length of 10 meters, this cable offers flexibility in system layout while maintaining signal integrity. Its 25-pin D-subminiature connectors ensure secure and easy installation, reducing downtime during system setup or maintenance. The cable’s lightweight construction (0.5 kg) and compact design (diameter: 8 mm) further enhance its usability in confined spaces.
In automation systems, the GE IC670CBL001 plays a pivotal role in enabling real-time data exchange between field devices and the PLC. By supporting hot-swappable I/O modules, it allows for system upgrades or component replacement without powering down the entire system, improving operational efficiency. The cable’s compatibility with GE’s proprietary Genius Bus protocol ensures seamless integration with other GE modules, such as the IC697CPU780 and IC693MDL340, creating a unified control architecture. With its combination of durability and high-speed data transfer, the GE IC670CBL001 is a cornerstone of modern industrial automation.
Technical Specifications
Main Features and Advantages
Rugged Industrial Design: The GE IC670CBL001 is constructed with a reinforced PVC jacket and shielded conductors to resist abrasion, moisture, and electromagnetic interference (EMI). Its robust build ensures reliable performance in extreme environments, including factories, offshore platforms, and power plants.
High-Speed Data Transfer: With support for up to 1 Mbps data rates, the cable enables real-time communication between PLCs and I/O modules, critical for applications requiring fast response times, such as process control and robotics.
Flexible System Expansion: The 10-meter length allows for versatile system configurations, accommodating distributed I/O setups where modules are located far from the CPU. This flexibility reduces the need for additional repeaters or signal boosters, lowering installation costs.
Secure Connectors: The 25-pin D-subminiature connectors feature locking mechanisms to prevent accidental disconnection, ensuring stable communication even in high-vibration environments. The connectors are also 镀金 (gold-plated) for corrosion resistance, extending the cable’s lifespan.
Hot-Swap Capability: The cable supports hot-swappable I/O modules, enabling maintenance or upgrades without disrupting system operation. This feature minimizes downtime and enhances overall system availability.
Cost-Effective Solution: As a discontinued model, the GE IC670CBL001 is available at competitive prices through our inventory of legacy industrial control parts. Its compatibility with multiple GE PLC platforms reduces the need for custom solutions, offering long-term value.
