IC670GBI002 GE Fanuc Field control bus interface unit

The IC670GBI002 is a field Control Bus interface unit (BUI) produced by GE Fanuc that plays an important role in industrial automation systems. The following is a detailed analysis of the IC670GBI002 GE Fanuc field control bus interface unit:

1. Basic functions and features

Interface function:

As part of the field control system, the IC670GBI002 is primarily used as the head module for each field I/O system, managing the interface between the master PLC or computer via the Genius bus.

It is capable of supporting up to eight (8) field control I/O modules and managing the data exchange between these modules and the master controller located in the Genius bus.

Data exchange capability:

The module is capable of exchanging 128 bytes of input and 128 bytes of output data. Note, however, that the reference article that "the IC128GBI128 bus interface unit can hold up to 670 bytes of input data and 002 bytes of output data" may be a misstatement, as the description of the IC670GBI002 does not mention such a high data capacity.

Power requirements:

The IC670GBI002 requires an external 18-30 VDC supply voltage with a nominal value of 24 VDC. Its power consumption is 16.8 watts, the surge current is 15-50 A (peak), and the maximum duration is 3 milliseconds.

The module has a power output of 6.5 VDC, a maximum current of 1.4 amps, and a hold time of 10 mS.

Physical characteristics:

The interface unit is designed to be mounted on a DIN rail and connected via a terminal base, ensuring a stable and secure electrical connection.

Its size and ease of installation make it easy to deploy and maintain in industrial automation environments.

2. Compatibility and standards

Protocol support:

The IC670GBI002 supports the Genius Bus protocol, a communication protocol commonly used in industrial automation.

System compatibility:

The interface unit is compatible with a variety of PLC systems, such as GE Fanuc's 90-30 series, 90-70 series, six series or five series programmable logic controllers.

It is also compatible with Genius handheld displays 4.6 or later, as well as a variety of host system devices.

Standard compliance:

The IC670GBI002 complies with several international standards and safety specifications, such as UL and CE standards, ensuring its reliability and safety worldwide.

Third, the use of environment and conditions

Working temperature:

The interface unit can operate at ambient temperatures no lower than 0 ° C (32 ° F) and no higher than 55 ° C (131 ° F).

Use in non-hazardous places:

Generally, the device is suitable for use in non-hazardous places. If used in hazardous areas, it must be adequately protected.

4. Application and maintenance

Application scenario:

The IC670GBI002 is widely used in industrial automation, especially in application scenarios requiring high reliability and precise control.

Maintenance convenience:

The interface unit has been designed with the need for easy maintenance and replacement in mind, and supports hot disassembly and insertion (provided the appropriate version of the field I/O module is installed).
