GE Fanuc IC200GBI001

The IC200GBI001 is a Genius Network Interface Unit from GE Fanuc, part of the VersaMax series, designed to facilitate control functions for an array of connected input and output modules. Compatible with various systems including Series 90-70 programmable logic controllers, Genius Bus Controllers, and PacSystems RX7i and RX3i controllers, this unit requires the appropriate firmware version for optimal performance. Each IC200GBI001 can support eight modules per rack, with a maximum of eight racks, enabling a robust setup for complex applications. The network interface unit allows for 128 bytes of network inputs per bus scan and provides a comprehensive I/O memory capacity of 1024 discrete points, plus 128 bytes for both analog input and output. It operates at two power levels: 5 volts at 250 milliamps and 3.3 volts at 10 milliamps, and features a serial bus address range of 0 to 31. Data transfer rates can be achieved at 153.6 Kbaud (standard and extended), 76.8 Kbaud, or 38.4 Kbaud, though actual rates may vary based on physical distance and the number of devices connected. Additional capabilities include support for 64 analog input and output channels, removable connectors, compatibility with both shielded twisted pair (STP) and fiber optic cables, and advanced diagnostics via Enhanced Diagnostics Mode (EDM). This unit also offers redundancy options for media and hardware. The physical dimensions of the IC200GBI001, excluding the attached power supply, are 5.25 inches (133.4 millimeters) in width and 3.38 inches (85.9 millimeters) in height.
