Backplane Bus Communication Velocity & Network Integrity
The IC670GBI102 manages backplane bus communication velocity across local I/O expansion racks while maintaining determinism over the Genius serial network. Firmware flash compatibility across connected CPU controllers ensures seamless protocol handling, diagnostic uploads, and I/O forcing capabilities. The unit delivers a regulated 6.5 VDC logic power rail across the local rack assembly, ensuring consistent address decoding and I/O density scaling without signal degradation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What power options does the IC670GBI102 support for primary power input?
A: The module accepts an input power supply operating from 90 to 135 VAC (nominal 115 VAC) or 105 to 150 VDC (nominal 125 VDC) over a frequency range of 47 to 63 Hz.
Q: Does the IC670GBI102 support hot insertion and removal of expansion I/O modules?
A: Yes. Field Control I/O modules attached to the BIU base support live insertion and removal without requiring a system shutdown or primary power cycle.
Q: Which Hand-Held Programmers are compatible with the IC670GBI102 diagnostic port?
A: Diagnostic configuration, program upload/download, and forced I/O monitoring can be performed using IC660HHM501 or IC693PRG300 hand-held programmers.
Field Installation Guidelines
- De-energize primary AC/DC supply voltages before mounting the BIU terminal block onto the panel surface or standard DIN rail.
- Configure network baud rates and termination resistance values (75, 100, 120, or 150 ohms) according to Genius Bus network layout standards.
- Wire input power using dedicated lines capable of handling the initial peak inrush current of up to 50 A for 3 ms.
- Ground all communication cable shielding using approved Genius Bus prefabricated cables (IC660BLM506 or IC660BLM508) to suppress high-frequency line noise.
- Maintain ambient operating enclosure temperatures strictly within 0 deg C to +60 deg C to preserve the 183,000-hour MTBF rating.
