The IC670GBI102 is a Genius bus interface module manufactured by GE Fanuc.

The module is part of the Field Control family and is primarily used to realize distributed I/O architectures by connecting field control I/O modules to host GE CPUs via a Genius bus network.

It features a series of screw terminals for terminating the Genius main bus and optional redundant buses; one (1) 9-pin D-shell display port for connecting a handheld programmer (D-Shell); and a 9-pin D-shell display port for connecting a handheld programmer (D-Shell) to the host computer.

It is capable of hosting up to eight (8) field control I/Os and supports standard Profibus transfer speeds, such as 153.6 Kbaud.

It is capable of hosting up to eight (8) field control I/Os and supports standard Profibus transfer speeds such as 153.6 Kbaud standard, 153.6 Kbaud extended, 76.8 Kbaud, or 38.4 Kbaud.

About the IC670GBI102

The IC670GBI001 is a communication module for the GE Fanuc field control series. The module specifically supports the Genius Bus protocol, allowing users to realize distributed I/O architectures.

The module is used in conjunction with the Genius Bus Interface Unit terminal block for DIN rail or panel mounting.

The terminal block also carries screw terminals that allow the establishment of a master Genius Bus connection and an optional redundant network connection.

The IC670GBI001 supports a daisy-chain topology on both the primary and secondary buses.

The module supports data transfer rates of 153.6 Kbaud standard, 153.6 Kbaud extended, 76.8 Kbaud, or 38.4 Kbaud.

Available memory allocations for various data types, such as 256 bytes for discrete inputs (%I), status data, and smart modules; 256 bytes for discrete outputs (%I), status data, and smart modules.

256 bytes for discrete outputs (%Q) and fault clearing for smart modules; 256 bytes for analog inputs (%AI) and 256 bytes for analog outputs (%AQ).

Both the primary and secondary bus connections have a terminating resistor connection point, which is used to terminate the bus connection and maintain a stable connection throughout the network.
