Ethernet NIU
The Ethernet NIU (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 NIU, refer to
GFK-1860, VersaMax System Ethernet Network Communications User's
Manual.
DeviceNet NIU
The DeviceNet NIU (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 NIU, refer to GFK-1533, VersaMax System DeviceNet
Network Communications User's Manual.
Profibus NIU
The Profibus NIU (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
NIU, refer to GFK-1534, VersaMax System Profibus Network Modules User's
Manual (revision A or later).
Genius NIU
The Genius NIU (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 NIU, refer to GFK-1535, VersaMax System Genius Network Interface
Unit User's Manual.
