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
• Processor: 32-bit high-speed controller
• User Memory: 512 KB (RAM)

• Communication:

  • Genius Bus interface (primary)
  • 10/100 Mbps Ethernet port
  • RS-232 serial port (programming)
• Task Capacity: Up to 4 simultaneous user programs
• I/O Support: Up to 64 I/O modules per drop
• High-Speed Features: High-speed counters, PTO motion control

3. Core Features
• Distributed Intelligence: Local logic execution at the I/O drop
• Genius Bus Communication: Reliable industrial fieldbus
• Ethernet Connectivity: Programming, monitoring, and data exchange
• Multi-tasking: Run up to 4 independent control programs
• Hot Swappable: Module replacement without full power-down
• Diagnostics: Extensive LED status & fault reporting
• Programming: Compatible with Logicmaster 90, CIMPLICITY
4. Typical Applications
• Distributed I/O control for GE Series 90-70 PLC systems
• Large-scale manufacturing and process automation
• Remote field I/O nodes (Genius Bus networks)
• High-speed packaging, material handling, and assembly lines
• Industrial systems requiring local logic & fast I/O response
