Functional Description
The GE Fanuc IC200PBI001 supports Profibus communication witha network address range of 1–125 and an auto-detected data rate from 9.6 Kbaud to 12 Mbaud. It can handle up to 375 bytes of I/O data and provides 5 bytes of diagnostic memory.
Front panel features include 4 LED indicators (Power, Health, Fault, Network) plus a Force LED, and a rotary switch for address selection. The NIU draws 250mA from the 5V bus and 10mA from the 3.3V bus. Installation is simplified with DIN rail mounting, latch-based power connection, and a 9-pin D-sub connector.
Firmware updates are supported, requiring the controller to be in stop mode with the network cable disconnected. The NIU supports up to 32 stations without repeaters, ensuring robust Profibus-DP integration.
Applications and Compatibility
The IC200PBI001 integrates seamlessly into VersaMax PLC systems, enabling Profibus communication for distributed I/O. It is ideal for industrial automation environments requiring reliable diagnostics, scalable I/O expansion, and straightforward installation.
