Exchanges as much as 128 bytes of input data and 128 bytes of output data per Genius bus scan.
Product Overview
IC200GBI001-FG interfaces a VersaMax I/O station to a Genius bus. The station begins with the NIU and its attached power supply, then carries local VersaMax modules and optional expansion racks.
FG is a documented January 2006 revision with firmware 2.30. Later hardware adds capabilities and corrections, so the exact IC200GBI001-FG revision should remain in the quotation and configuration record.
Performance
Supports up to eight modules per rack and 64 modules in the complete NIU station.
Stores and exchanges discrete and analog references for the configured I/O modules.
Offers either programmer configuration or local autoconfiguration for the station.

| Network Input Capacity | 128 bytes per bus scan |
| Network Output Capacity | 128 bytes per bus scan |
| Modules per Rack | Up to 8 |
| Modules per NIU Station | Up to 64 |
| Configuration Methods | PAC Machine Edition / Remote I/O Manager or autoconfiguration |
| Main-Rack Power | A VersaMax AC or DC power supply mounts directly on the NIU |
| Power Rails to Modules | 5 VDC and 3.3 VDC from the attached supply |
| Safety-Relevant GMR Boundary | GJ is the minimum revision for the safety-relevant portion of a GMR system; FG does not meet that revision boundary |
| Known Analog-Module Guidance | When used with PACSystems Genius controllers and IC200ALG240, firmware 1.20 or later is recommended for that analog module |
System Integration
- Record the Genius serial bus address, data rate, BSM settings, output default time and redundancy selection.
- Export the complete VersaMax rack and slot map, reference allocation and power-budget worksheet.
- Confirm whether the station is programmer-configured or autoconfigured; unexpected autoconfiguration can change references.
- Review every installed I/O revision against the FG NIU firmware before reuse.
- Terminate and route the Genius bus exactly as the engineered network drawing specifies.
Applications
- Remote VersaMax I/O stations on an established Genius network.
- Brownfield maintenance where the host is a Series 90-70, RX7i, RX3i or another documented Genius bus controller.
- Revision-controlled replacement of an FG station when upgrading the whole station is not presently authorized.
FAQ
Can IC200GBI001-FG be used in the safety-relevant portion of a GMR system?
The manufacturer identifies GJ as the minimum NIU revision for that use, so FG should not be treated as the safety-capable revision.
Why might an IC200GBI001-FG replacement change I/O references?
Autoconfiguration, rack-order changes or a different downloaded station definition can reassign references even when the module list appears similar.
What should be backed up before removing IC200GBI001-FG?
Save the NIU configuration, Genius address and rate, rack map, I/O references, BSM settings, output defaults and host bus-controller configuration.
How should IC200GBI001-FG analog-module compatibility be reviewed?
Compare each module revision with the NIU manual; the IC200ALG240 guidance specifically recommends module firmware 1.20 or later in the documented PACSystems Genius arrangement.
What proves an IC200GBI001-FG station is ready for service?
Verify bus health, all module diagnostics, reference mapping, input forcing restrictions, output fail behavior and recovery after a controlled bus interruption.
