GE IC670CHS001 rugged carrier base for modular I/O expansion
Product Overview
The GE IC670CHS001 is a foundational hardware component in the GE Fanuc Series 90-30 programmable logic controller(PLC)ecosystem,serving as a 5-slot I/O carrier base that provides mechanical support,electrical interconnection,and signal backplane functionality for a wide range of HE693-series I/O modules.Unlike a full rack or power-integrated chassis,the GE IC670CHS001 is a passive,DIN-rail-mountable carrier designed for flexible,distributed I/O deployment—commonly used in remote I/O stations or compact control panels where space and modularity are paramount.
Engineered for industrial durability,the GE IC670CHS001 features a robust plastic housing with secure latching mechanisms that ensure stable module retention even under high-vibration conditions typical in manufacturing,oil&gas,and power generation environments.Its standardized connector interface guarantees seamless compatibility with digital input/output,analog,and specialty modules such as HE693MDL640,HE693ADC415,and HE693BBD025,enabling engineers to mix and match I/O types within a single carrier.This modularity—combined with its compact footprint—makes the GE IC670CHS001 an indispensable building block for both new installations and lifecycle extensions of legacy Series 90-30 systems still in operation worldwide.

Main Features and Advantages
Compact and modular design:The GE IC670CHS001 enables dense I/O packaging without requiring a full-sized PLC rack.Its 5-slot format is ideal for localized control nodes—such as motor control centers,skid-mounted process units,or machine-side I/O clusters—where only a handful of signals need local termination.
Universal HE693 compatibility:Designed specifically for the HE693 module family,the GE IC670CHS001 supports all standard 24-point I/O cards,including digital inputs/outputs,thermocouple readers,RTD modules,and relay outputs.This universality simplifies spare parts inventory and allows future I/O upgrades without replacing the base hardware.
Robust mechanical integration:Each slot features a spring-loaded latch that securely holds modules in place while allowing tool-free insertion and removal.This design prevents accidental dislodgement due to vibration—a common cause of intermittent faults in industrial settings—while still enabling rapid module replacement during maintenance.
Passive reliability:With no active electronics,the GE IC670CHS001 has an exceptionally long service life and near-zero failure rate.It draws no power itself but reliably distributes system power and data from the connected CPU or remote adapter(e.g.,IC670CMM001)to each I/O module via a gold-plated edge connector,ensuring low-resistance,corrosion-resistant contact over decades of operation.
Application Field
The GE IC670CHS001 is widely deployed in brownfield facilities where GE Series 90-30 systems remain the backbone of automation—particularly in industries with long asset lifecycles such as power generation,water/wastewater treatment,pulp&paper,and heavy manufacturing.In these environments,the carrier serves as the physical and electrical foundation for expanding or maintaining I/O capacity without overhauling the entire control architecture.For example,in a coal-fired power plant’s ash handling system,multiple GE IC670CHS001 bases may house digital input modules monitoring limit switches and output modules driving conveyor contactors—all linked remotely to a central Series 90-30 CPU.
The GE IC670CHS001 is also commonly used in OEM machinery built in the 1990s–2000s,where its compact size allowed integrators to embed control logic directly into equipment cabinets.Today,it remains critical for spares provisioning and system sustainment.Even as plants migrate toward modern platforms like PACSystems,many choose to retain Series 90-30 I/O networks for auxiliary systems,relying on carriers like the GE IC670CHS001 to bridge legacy reliability with incremental modernization.

Installation and Maintenance
Pre-installation preparation:Mount the GE IC670CHS001 securely onto a standard 35 mm DIN rail using the integrated snap-on mechanism,ensuring it is level and free from mechanical stress.Verify that the upstream communications module(e.g.,IC670CMM001)or CPU backplane is correctly configured to recognize the I/O group address assigned to this carrier.Confirm that all HE693 modules are clean,undamaged,and rated for the intended application before insertion.
Maintenance recommendations:Periodically inspect the GE IC670CHS001 for dust accumulation,corrosion on the edge connectors,or signs of overheating at terminal blocks of installed modules.Although the carrier itself requires no calibration or firmware updates,loose modules can cause intermittent communication errors—ensure each module is fully seated with an audible click.When replacing I/O modules,always de-energize field wiring first to prevent backfeed through relay contacts or sensor loops.Store spare GE IC670CHS001 units in anti-static packaging in a dry,temperature-controlled environment to preserve connector plating integrity.
