IC220EBI001

Product Description

The VersaPoint Ethernet Network Interface Unit, IC220EBI001, is manufactured by GE Fanuc Automation. This part is referenced in GFK-2087. The product is an ethernet TCP/IP advanced network interface unit with a 10/100 Base T(x) data rate. The NIU includes PCP support, the lifecycle status is active, and the module runs protocol Modbus TCP. There is support for firmware upgrades and serial communications.

The nominal power input voltage is 24 VDC and the power voltage range is 19.2-30 VDC. The current for Local Bus UL is 2 amperes and the current for Local Bus UA is 500 mA. A maximum of 63 modules can be supported in one node of the unit. The power-in maximum is 8 amperes. There are LED indicators for Bus diagnostics and status indication of voltage. There is a numeric LCD display. There is web support for web pages, SNMP, and XML Data Monitoring. The dimensions are 90 mm (w) x 72 mm (h) x 116 mm (d). IC220TBK082 is the required terminal strip and contains 10 strips. The maximum operation humidity is 90% with no condensation, and the maximum storage humidity is 95% with no condensation. The preferred mounting position is perpendicular to the DIN rail.

The maximum NIU current for supplying the I/O module logic is 2A at UL. The maximum additional current for supplying the analog terminals is 0.5A at UANA. This NIU is the link between Ethernet and the VersaPoint station. The unit operates as a slave on the network, exchanging process data with a master device. The required Power Connector, IC220TBK082, must be ordered separately. This module features an Initial IP parameter setting via BootP. The user can generate the segment voltage at the NIU of a Power Terminal module. In order to minimize heat generation, use both of the adjacent contacts to provide the main voltage and to tap the segment voltage. At the left end of the I/O station, the NIU module must be the first module on the DIN rail.
