GE IC200PBI001 VersaMax PROFIBUS-DP Network Interface Unit

Communication protocol is PROFIBUS-DP per IEC 61158. Data rates are 9.6 Kbaud to 12 Mbaud auto-detected. Network address range is 1 to 125 configurable via rotary switch. Total I/O data capacity is 375 bytes maximum, with up to 244 bytes of inputs or 244 bytes of outputs. User diagnostic data is 5 bytes maximum. Connector type is 9-pin D-sub female. Backplane current consumption is 250 mA at 5V and 10 mA at 3.3V. Operating temperature is 0°C to 60°C. Dimensions are approximately 8.9 x 12.7 x 3.2 cm. Weight is 0.1 kg.

Auto-detection of baud rate ensures instant synchronization with the master. Supports up to 64 I/O modules across up to 8 racks with a maximum of 8 modules per rack. Five LED indicators include PWR, OK, FAULT, NETWORK, and FORCE for comprehensive status monitoring. Standard PROFIBUS diagnostics facilitate proactive maintenance. Linear bus topology with termination supports transmission distances from 100 to 1200 meters depending on baud rate.

Distributed I/O in PROFIBUS networks, machine-level network nodes, process control integration, manufacturing automation, and brownfield systems requiring PROFIBUS-DP connectivity.

12 Mbps maximum data rate supports high-speed deterministic data exchange. 375 bytes total I/O data capacity handles substantial distributed I/O counts. 250 mA backplane current consumption is efficient for communication modules.

Industrial-grade housing with integrated PROFIBUS transceiver circuitry and protected 9-pin D-sub connector.

Compact single-slot module with front-facing 9-pin D-sub connector. Rotary address switch for network configuration. DIN rail carrier mounting compatible.

 It translates PROFIBUS protocol commands to backplane I/O operations and reports diagnostic status.

Mount on VersaMax communication carrier.  Connect shielded twisted-pair PROFIBUS cable to 9-pin D-sub connector. Install termination resistors at both ends of the bus segment.
