IC670GBI102
GE
Overview
The IC670GBI102 is a Profibus Bus Interface from GE. It is part of GE's industrial automation product portfolio.
Application & Technical Notes
As a profibus bus interface, the IC670GBI102 is intended for deployment in panel-based control cabinets and machine enclosures where the GE product portfolio equipment is installed. It performs a defined automation function within the control system and is selected to match the installed GE platform.
Key published characteristics include a range 90 to 135 VAC, 105 to 150 VDC rating. These values should be confirmed against the current manufacturer datasheet before final selection, as options and suffixes vary by configuration.
Maintenance & Diagnostics
Inspect terminals and connectors for corrosion or looseness, and confirm the module seats correctly in its carrier. Always de-energise the circuit and follow lock-out/tag-out before handling; refer to the official instruction bulletin for service procedures.
Sourcing & Procurement
When sourcing the IC670GBI102, distinguish three supply tiers: (1) genuine GE stock from an authorised distributor; (2) compatible equivalents or surplus/NOS (new-old-stock) from third parties; (3) alternative parts offering equivalent function. Genuine supply carries the full warranty and traceability; compatible or alternative items may be cheaper but should be validated for form, fit, firmware and certification before use in a live system. PLCXpert publishes this page as an independent reference and does not sell the part — verify every claim with the manufacturer or your distributor.
Confirm mechanical and electrical compatibility with your GE product portfolio installation and the intended function. Lead times and pricing vary by region and lifecycle status; obtain a current quote from an authorised channel rather than relying on stale listings.

Specifications
The IC670GBI102 module is a GE Fanuc Genius Bus interface module. It has a nominal voltage rating of 120 Volts AC and 125 Volts DC. It is used in Field Control systems and it is used to control a wide variety of host architectures. It is fully compatible with the IC670GB and iC670GBI modules. The bus interface unit is mounted with a DIN Rail. The module comes with a metal grounding strip underneath the terminal block. The Bus interface module helps with intelligent processing and I/O scanning applications and it connects up to 8 I/O modules at a time. The IC670GBI102 module interfaces with Field Control I/O modules and a host PLC or computer by using the Genius bus. It can exchange a maximum of 128 Bytes of input and output data with each host in a single bus scan. It helps with fault reporting, analog scaling, and range selection applications. The self diagnostics run when the module starts up and they check for errors. The GE Fanuc IC670GBI102 Field Control Genius Bus interface module can be used with both a single bus and a dual bus setup. The bus interface module operates best with an ambient air temperature between 0 degrees Celsius and 60 degrees Celsius. The module is CE certified and listed with the cULus standard. The IC670GBI102 interface module comes with a D connector for connecting to a display monitor or terminal. Along with the connector, there are LED indicators to show the power status and the “Bus Active” status. The operating frequency of the bus interface module is 50 to 60 Hertz. The interface module has 9 N-m of rated torque. For wiring, this module uses 90 degrees Celsius rated copper conductor wire. The IC670GBI102 is a Genius Bus Interface module that is manufactured by GE Fanuc. This module is part of the Field control series, primarily used to implement distributed I/O architecture by interfacing Field control I/O modules to a host GE CPU via Genius bus network. It features an array of screw-type terminals for termination of the Genius main bus and optional redundant bus; Technical specifications for IC670GBI102 Brand GE Fanuc Series Field Control
