The Emerson Automation IC200EBI001 is a Genius Network Interface Unit (NIU) from the VersaMax PLC family, originally developed by GE Fanuc. It is designed to function as a Genius slave module, managing and controlling I/O modules to establish a distributed I/O architecture within industrial automation systems. The unit is equipped with two Genius bus terminals—one upper terminal for the main bus connection and one lower terminal for redundancy—ensuring communication reliability and network fault tolerance. It supports data transmission speeds of up to 38.4 Kbaud and allows up to eight NIU modules per rack, with a maximum of eight racks per system, providing significant scalability. The IC200EBI001 handles up to 128 bytes each of input and output data per scan, with discrete input memory capacity of 1024 points, discrete output memory of 1024 bytes, analog input memory of 128 bytes, and analog output memory of 128 bytes. This module may possibly be implemented across North America, Europe, Asia, and other industrial regions where Emerson VersaMax systems are used for robust, distributed Genius network-based control architectures.
