Field Control | IC670

The GE Fanuc Field Control® Distributed I/O and Control System was a modular and adaptable solution tailored for industrial automation applications. Despite GE discontinuing manufacturing of these systems in 2009, they remain operational in certain facilities, possibly necessitating maintenance or troubleshooting.

Overview:

Distributed I/O Architecture: The system utilized a distributed I/O architecture, positioning I/O modules in close proximity to the equipment they controlled, thereby minimizing wiring requirements compared to centralized systems.

Modular Design: Users could select from various I/O modules, communication modules, and power supply modules to construct a system tailored to their specific needs. This inherent modularity ensured scalability and adaptability across diverse applications.

Control Processors: A range of control processor options was available, each offering different capabilities suited to varying control tasks, from basic to advanced functionalities.

Programming Environment: The system employed a dedicated programming environment facilitating configuration, control logic definition, system status monitoring, and device communication, ensuring user-friendly operation even for those with limited programming expertise.

Benefits:

  1. Reduced Wiring Costs: Distributed I/O architecture minimized wiring, resulting in lower installation and maintenance expenses.
  2. Scalability: Modular design facilitated easy system expansion to accommodate future growth and evolving requirements.
  3. Flexibility: Wide array of modules allowed customization to meet specific application demands.
  4. Ease of Use: Dedicated programming environment ensured straightforward configuration and operation, enhancing usability.
