Ethernet NIU
The Ethernet Network Interface Unit (IC200EBI001) serves as the connection point
between VersaMax I/O modules and a single 10/100Base-T Ethernet network. The NIU
supports Modbus/TCP protocol.
For information about the Ethernet Network Interface Unit, refer to the VersaMax System
Ethernet Network Communications User's Manual (GFK-1860).
DeviceNet NIU
The DeviceNet Network Interface Unit (IC200DBI001) is a DeviceNet slave module.
DeviceNet supports a variety of communication structures including peer to peer, multi-
master and master/slave with broadcasting capabilities. Up to 64 nodes can be connected
to a DeviceNet network without bridging or routing.
For information about the DeviceNet Network Interface Unit, refer to the VersaMax
System DeviceNet Network Communications User's Manual (GFK-1533).
Profibus NIU
The Profibus Network Interface Unit (IC200PBI001) operates as a slave on a Profibus-DP
Network, automatically exchanging I/O, status, control, and diagnostic data with a master
device. The NIU is capable of handling up to 375 bytes of I/O data, consisting of up to 244
bytes of discrete and analog input data and up to 244 bytes of discrete and analog output
data. The system host can be any device capable of operating as a bus master.
For information about the Profibus-DP Network Interface Unit, refer to the VersaMax
System Profibus Network Modules User's Manual (GFK-1534, revision A or later).
Genius NIU
The Genius Network Interface Unit (IC200GBI001) operates as a device on a Genius bus.
The NIU is capable of handling up to 128 bytes of discrete and analog input data and 128
bytes of discrete and analog output data. The system host can be any PLC or computer
capable of controlling the Genius bus.
For information about the Genius Network Interface Unit, refer to the VersaMax System
Genius Network Interface Unit User's Manual (GFK-1535).
