1. Product Title

GE Fanuc IC670GBI002K – Genius Bus Interface Unit

2. Product Overview

The IC670GBI002K is a bus interface unit for GE Field Control distributed I‑O systems, acting as the communication gateway between host PLC/computer and field I/O modules over Genius Bus protocol. It handles bidirectional data exchange up to 128‑byte input and 128‑byte output per scan, supports hot‑swap module replacement, and performs self‑diagnostics plus diagnostics for connected I/O modules, reporting fault status to host controller or handheld monitor. This unit resolves reliable distributed signal collection challenges for remote field racks, enabling modular expansion of field I‑O nodes within industrial automation architectures.
