Description
GE IC690RFH008 is a passive wiring hub designed for the GE Genius industrial fieldbus. Traditional Genius bus adopts daisy-chain topology; this hub converts network layout into star topology, allowing multiple remote I/O branches to connect from a central control cabinet. It simplifies field wiring layout and facilitates troubleshooting of individual bus branches. The unit is widely used as replacement spare hardware for legacy power, water and process automation systems equipped with Genius distributed I/O.
Series
GE Genius is a mature distributed remote I/O fieldbus system launched by GE Fanuc. The product lineup includes bus controllers, I/O blocks, bus cables, terminal resistors and wiring hubs such as IC690RFH008 to realize flexible field network layout.
Product Features
- 8 independent wiring ports for Genius bus signal connection, supporting star network topology.
- Passive hardware design, no external power supply needed.
- Screw terminal blocks for convenient field cable connection and maintenance.
- Compatible with standard Genius bus cables and remote I/O modules.
- Supports proper bus termination resistors to guarantee signal integrity.
- Compact housing for cabinet DIN rail mounting.
- End-of-life legacy component; not recommended for new project design.
