The IC670GBI002 is a Bus Interface Unit (BUI) from the Field control system series. This BUI supports Genius Bus protocol and supports hosting of up to Eight (8) Field I/O modules. The BUI manages data exchanges between the Field I/O modules to the host computer of the master controller residing in the Genius Bus. Up to 128 Bytes of input data and 128 Bytes of output data can be accommodated by the IC670GBI002 Bus Interface Unit.

The IC670GBI002 is installed to an appropriate terminal base. It is designed to be mounted to a DIN rail with the DIN rail component connected to the grounding system. With this, ensure that the DIN rail material is made of good or excellent conductor and not easily affected by oxidation and corrosion.

The IC670GBI002 is powered by an external supply voltage range of 18-30 VDC with nominal value of 24 VDC. It has power consumption of 16.8 Watts with Inrush current of 15-50 A (peak) with maximum duration of 3 ms. It has power supply output of 6.5 VDC and maximum current of 1.4 Amperes with holdup time of 10 mS. The output voltage and current is delivered to the hosted modules through the BUI backplane.

The IC670GBI002 has reliability 183, 000 hours operation Mean Time Before failure (MTBF). It comes with terminal strip for Power and communication connection and I/O terminals for establishing connection to the next terminal block. Aside from redundant CPU assembly, it may also be used in Hot removal and insertion requirements, provided the appropriate Field I/O module versions are installed.

The IC670GBI002 interface is a Field Control bus interface unit manufactured by GE Fanuc. The unit is available through the Field Control product series and it complies with standards like the UL and CE standards. Generally, the unit is intended for non-hazardous locations and it must be sufficiently protected if it is used in hazardous areas. This part also complies with the FCC rules and it operates in locations with operating temperatures not lower than 0 degrees Celsius (32 degrees Fahrenheit) and not higher than 55 degrees Celsius (131 degrees Fahrenheit). The IC670GBI002 bus interface unit features specifications like a hold-up time of 20 milliseconds (maximum), an inrush current of 20 Amps (peak) for 3 milliseconds maximum, and a power consumption rating of 48 Volts-Amps for 115 Volts AC and one of 24 Watts for 125 Volts AC.

The Field Control IC670GBI002 bus interface unit is compatible with Genius hand-held monitors that are version 4.6 or later and with various host system equipment. The unit also operates perfectly with programmable logic controllers from Series 90-30, Series 90-70, Series Six, or Series Five. The unit has an operating frequency of 47 to 63 Hertz and an input voltage of 90 to 135 Volts AC or 105 to 150 Volts DC. The typical power which is required for the associated terminal block is 16 milliamps. The IC670GBI002 bus interface unit mounts on a standard DIN rail which has a size of at least 108 millimeters (4.25 inches) and the removal of the unit is simplified due to great design features. The bus interface unit accepts a wire gauge of AWG #14 and it supports the usage of a communications bus if necessary.
