GE IC670CPU350
Part No.: IC670CPU350
Manufacturer: GE Fanuc (GE Intelligent Platforms)
Series: Field Control / Genius Bus (IC670)
Type: Field Control CPU Module
Application: Distributed Field I/O Controller
Compatibility: Series 90-70, Genius Bus
1. General Description
The GE IC670CPU350 is a 32-bit field control CPU module designed for the GE Fanuc Field Control distributed I/O system. It serves as a local intelligence node on the Genius Bus, managing a remote bank of I/O modules independently. This offloads I/O processing from the main PLC CPU (typically Series 90-70), enabling faster response and distributed control.
2. Key Specifications
