Product Overview

The GE Fanuc IC200GBI001 is a VersaMax Genius Bus Network Interface Module used to connect VersaMax remote I/O stations to a Genius network. It functions as the communication head for a VersaMax I/O slice, exchanging I/O data and diagnostics with the controlling PLC over the Genius bus. This module is installed on DIN rail with the VersaMax carrier and is used when a Genius-based architecture is required in an existing plant network.
