The IC670PBI001 belongs to the GE Fanuc Field Control product family. This Profibus Bus Interface Unit acts as the gateway between Field Control I/O modules and a Profibus DP master. It supports a linear bus topology and requires an external 24 Volts DC power supply. You can mount this unit on a DIN rail or a panel using the terminal block. Additionally, the IC670PBI001 includes a hand-held programmer (HHP) port for easy diagnostics and program uploads.
The IC670PBI001 offers a wide range of technical capabilities. Its rated input voltage is 24 Volts DC, with an allowable range of 18 to 30 Volts DC. Power consumption is 7.7 watts, and power dissipation measures 4.45 watts. Hold-up time reaches a maximum of 10 milliseconds.
This bus interface unit supports multiple Profibus transmission speeds. These speeds include 9.6, 19.2, 93.75, 187.5, 500, 1500 Kbits, and 3 Mbits, 6 Mbits, as well as 12 Mbits. The network medium requires a shielded twisted pair cable, such as Belden #9463.
Addressing and Connectivity
You set the node address using the embedded 8-position DIP switch array. The IC670PBI001 supports up to 32 stations per Profibus segment. It features one 9-pin D-sub Profibus connector and one 9-pin D-sub monitor port for the hand-held programmer.
Supported I/O and Reliability
This unit hosts up to eight Field Control I/O modules. Its mean time between failures (MTBF) is 180,000 hours. Three status LEDs (PWR, RUN, OK) provide clear visual feedback. Noise resistance is built into the design.
Supported Functions
Using the hand-held programmer, you can perform I/O forcing, diagnostic display, and program upload or download. The module also supports analog range selection, fault reporting, and analog scaling.
The IC670PBI001 operates reliably in industrial environments. Its ambient operating temperature ranges from 0 to 55 degrees Celsius. You can mount the unit on a DIN rail or a panel using the Bus Interface Unit (BIU) terminal block. The sturdy aluminum housing provides excellent durability.
Furthermore, the terminal block allows module replacement without rewiring. This feature saves significant maintenance time. The IC670PBI001 can be installed inside panels, behind operator stations, or in junction boxes. It even fits in space-limited locations.
First, mount the BIU terminal block on a DIN rail or panel. Next, attach the IC670PBI001 to the terminal block. Then, connect an external 24 Volts DC power supply to the input terminals. The input line includes a replaceable slow-blow fuse for protection.
After power connection, set the node address using the DIP switches. Valid addresses range from 00 to 32. For the Profibus network, use shielded twisted pair cable. Terminate the first and last nodes on the linear bus with resistors.
Finally, connect the hand-held programmer to the monitor port if needed. You can then attach up to eight I/O modules to the IC670PBI001. The entire assembly forms a complete Field Control station.
