I/O modules

The GE Fanuc IC670PBI001 enables seamless integration within distributed I/O architectures. This Profibus Bus Interface Unit connects Field Control I/O modules to a central host CPU. Consequently, it creates a robust and high-speed network for industrial automation data.

Network Connectivity and Configuration

The module features a primary 9-pin D-sub connector for the Profibus network line. A second identical port is dedicated for a Hand-Held Programmer (HHP) connection. Configuration is simple via the onboard array of DIP switches for station addressing. This unit supports a linear bus topology with up to 32 stations per segment.

Performance and Power Specifications

The IC670PBI001 supports a wide range of Profibus transmission speeds up to 12 Mbits. It requires a 24V DC input voltage, which can range from 18 to 30 volts. The module draws an input power of 7.7 watts with a dissipation of 4.45 watts. Furthermore, it maintains a reliable holdup time of 10 milliseconds during power dips.

Robust Design and System Integration

This interface unit can host and manage up to eight Field Control I/O modules. Its design ensures strong noise resistance for stable operation in harsh environments. Status LEDs for PWR, RUN, and OK provide clear visual operational feedback. The module offers reliable mounting on a standard DIN rail or panel.
