About the IC670GBI001

The IC670GBI001 bus interface is a GE Fanuc component for field control devices.

GE Fanuc is a well-known producer of technology solutions for many industries, and the GE IC670GBI001 Bus Interface module is resistant to noise in industrial environments,

vibration, high and low temperatures, humidity, and other common conditions in industrial environments.The IC670GBI001 bus interface unit has a nominal voltage rating of 115 volts AC and 125 volts DC.

The input frequency range is 47 to 63 Hz. The unit’s voltage range is 90 to 135 volts AC and 105 to 150 volts DC.

The IC670GBI001 Bus Interface Module has a rated power consumption rating of 115 volt-amperes (**value) at 48 volts AC at full load.

The power consumption rating at 24 volts AC at full load is 125 watts (**value). The unit has a hold-up time of 20 milliseconds and a power supply output voltage of 6.5 volts DC.

The IC670GBI002 Bus Interface Module works well with other components such as the Bus Interface Unit power supply and Bus Interface Unit terminal blocks.

The IC670GBI001 module has a high-quality housing made of aluminum and includes LED indicators for status updates as well as an HHM connector for handheld displays.

The IC670GBI001 bus interface unit has a logic power supply and its configuration file is stored in the memory of the terminal block.

The four included indicators are the “PWR”, “OK”, “Run” and “Bus B” LEDs. The LEDs indicate the normal operation of the module and the communication status with the CPU.

Since the IC670GBI002 unit can be used with a DC power supply, the backplane current may be limited by the lower input voltage.

The module is also compatible with Ethernet, Genius, Profibus, and DeviceNet firmware. It is also compatible with PLC CPU firmware and VersaPro software.

The GE Fanuc Automation IC200ALG328 Versamax I/O module has a thermal derating only when used at 30 volts DC and placed in a specific location on the DIN rail.

This derating is also dependent on the ambient air temperature present.GE Fanuc Automation IC200ALG328 Versamax I/O Modules are rated for 18 to 30 volts DC.

The current draw is rated at 2 amps inrush current, and the power consumption is rated at 100 milliamps without load and 12 milliamps at full scale using all 270 outputs.

The module has a 13-bit resolution with an accuracy rating of up to 1%. The module is equipped with 2 LEDs and a diagnostic tool.

It can be hot-plugged, but this needs to be done carefully to retain all components in the rack and module.

The IC200ALG328 is a 12-channel, 13-bit current analog output module designed for the GE Fanuc Versamax family.

The IC200ALG328 has a default output range, but the output range can be easily changed with jumpers.

All outputs require external power, and the IC200ALG328 module will be intelligently processed by the CPU or Network Interface Unit.

If the backplane power or communication is interrupted, or if the PLC stops running, the outputs of the IC200ALG328 module can be easily kept in their last state, or in their default state via jumpers.

The backplane must send different output data to the module or the outputs will remain in their default or previous state.

In 0-20mA range mode, the current output signal value of 0mA corresponds to a %AQ value of 0 count and 20mA corresponds to a %AQ value of +32.000 count.

If in 4-20mA range mode, 0 %AQ count value corresponds to 4mA output current and +32.000 %AQ count value corresponds to 20mA output current.

If the IC200ALG328 is placed in the PLC rack, the negative value will be adapted and commanded as 0mA regardless of the range selected.

The IC200CH003 is a connectorized I/O carrier from GE Fanuc Automation.

The IC200CH003 I/O carrier weighs 0.113 kg and has a 36-pin connector for input/output cables.

The carrier provides backplane communication, mounting, and field wiring for one input/output module.

You will find a module latch hole for securing the module to the carrier.

The carrier also provides quick connections for wiring up to 32 input/output points and 4 common power connections.

During rail mounting, the IC200CH003 I/O bracket snaps easily into the DIN rail.

The dimensions are as follows: 7.5 mm x 35 mm: 7.5 mm x 35 mm.

For EMC protection, the DIN must be electrically grounded. The rail must also be electrically conductive and corrosion resistant.

The field wiring can be connected directly to the connector itself by means of contacts crimped onto the end of the wires.

I/O devices can be connected directly to the mating I/O terminals. To install a prewired connection cable, place the cable connector over the connector on the carrier and press down until the latch engages the connector.

To remove the cable, you must hold the connector and press the latch upward to release the connector.

Occasionally, the operating equipment may become hot due to high ambient temperatures. In this case, handle the connector carefully.

Do not touch them directly. Also, avoid exposed connector pins.

The IC200MDL743 discrete output module has an on response time of 2.1 ms at 0 V DC, an off response time of 0.0 ms, and an output leakage current of 5.30 mA.

It features a compact modular design for easy and space-saving installation. This module does not provide group-to-group isolation or point-to-point isolation.

It can be used to drive a variety of output devices such as lamps, relays, and motor starters. Power wiring is recommended,

control wiring and communication signal wiring separately to minimize insulation failures and wiring errors.

There are different types of brackets, such as box brackets and spring-loaded compact brackets, to make the wiring process easy.

The IC200MDL743 discrete output module features automatic I/O addressing to maximize ease of use in PLC-based industrial control applications**.

The IC200MDL743 is a discrete signal output module from General Electric’s VersaMax family.

The device has 16 output points, each of which can be either negative logic or sinking type.

The output points on the module load-switch the negative side (also known as the return side) of a DC power supply to receive current from an electrical load.

All output load switching on the IC200MDL743 requires an external power supply. The device has two modes of operation, each with its own voltage requirements.

In the standard 12/24-volt direct current (VDC) mode, the output voltage range is 10.2 to 30 volts DC, with nominal voltages of 12 and 24 volts DC.

In 5VDC-TTL (transistor-transistor logic) mode, the output voltage is 4.75 to 5.25 volts DC, where 5 volts DC is nominal.

Each output point on the module can handle half an ampere of current in the 12/24 volt DC mode and 25 milliamps in the 5VDC-TTL mode.

Output leakage current is 0.5 mA when operating at 30 volts DC. The maximum on and off response times are 0.2 ms and 1.0 ms, respectively, for each output point.
