GE IC670GBI002 Product Specification

Product Overview

The GE IC670GBI002 is a high-performance general-purpose bus interface module designed for GE’s VersaMax PLC platform, serving as a critical bridge between field devices and the control system in industrial automation architectures. Engineered to enable seamless communication and data exchange, the GE IC670GBI002 supports multiple protocols and integrates with various I/O modules, making it indispensable for complex manufacturing, power generation, and process control applications. This module combines robust hardware with flexible software configuration, ensuring reliable operation in harsh industrial environments while optimizing system efficiency.

 

As part of the VersaMax family, the GE IC670GBI002 features a 32-bit RISC processor and 128 MB of user memory, enabling rapid data processing and storage for real-time control tasks. It supports up to 16 I/O modules via the VersaMax backplane, with compatibility for analog, digital, and specialty modules (e.g., temperature, motion control). The module’s compact design (100 mm × 150 mm × 75 mm) and lightweight construction (0.9 kg) facilitate easy integration into control panels, while its wide operating temperature range (-40°C to +70°C) and vibration resistance (5–500 Hz, 2 g) ensure durability in demanding settings.

 

In automation systems, the GE IC670GBI002 acts as a central communication hub, translating signals between the PLC’s central processor and field devices. Its built-in Genius Bus interface enables high-speed data transfer (up to 5 Mbps), while optional Ethernet/IP or Modbus RTU ports support connectivity to higher-level supervisory systems. By combining advanced diagnostics with modular scalability, the module empowers engineers to implement efficient predictive maintenance strategies, reducing downtime and enhancing overall system reliability.

Main Features and Advantages

Multi-Protocol Connectivity: The GE IC670GBI002 supports Genius Bus, Ethernet/IP, and Modbus RTU, enabling seamless integration with diverse field devices and higher-level control systems. This versatility reduces the need for additional communication gateways, simplifying system architecture and lowering costs.

 

Modular Scalability: With support for up to 16 I/O modules, the module allows users to expand system capacity as operational needs evolve. It seamlessly integrates with GE’s VersaMax I/O modules (e.g., analog input/output, temperature control), making it suitable for both small-scale and large industrial applications.

 

Robust Industrial Design: Built with a rugged metal enclosure and conformal-coated PCBs, the GE IC670GBI002 resists dust, moisture, and electromagnetic interference (EMI). Its wide temperature range and vibration tolerance eliminate the need for additional environmental conditioning, ensuring reliable performance in harsh settings like offshore platforms or steel mills.

 

Advanced Diagnostics: Integrated self-test functions monitor module health, including power supply stability, communication integrity, and thermal conditions. Faults are reported via front-panel LEDs and the PLC’s HMI, enabling proactive maintenance and reducing mean time to repair (MTTR).

 

Software-Defined Flexibility: Configurable through GE’s Proficy Machine Edition software, the GE IC670GBI002 supports user-defined communication parameters, data mapping, and diagnostic settings. This flexibility allows engineers to tailor the module to unique operational requirements without hardware modifications.
