- The host exchanges Genius bus messages with IC670GBI001.
- The BIU maps data for the Field Control modules installed in its station.
- Local module and bus faults are returned through the interface for controller diagnostics.

GE Fanuc IC670GBI001 Field Control Genius Bus Interface Unit
A Genius bus interface unit that connects a Field Control I/O station to a Genius serial bus.
GENIUS BUSREMOTE I/OSTATION INTERFACE
Product Overview
GE Fanuc IC670GBI001 is the Genius Bus Interface Unit used at the head of a Field Control station. It links the station’s local I/O modules to a Genius serial bus so a PLC or other Genius host can exchange input, output and diagnostic data with the distributed station.
A Field Control station combines the interface unit with the I/O bases and modules installed after it. The station can contain a mixture of discrete and analog modules, allowing the remote drop to be assembled around the required field signals instead of a fixed rack population.
The BIU manages station configuration, module data transfer and fault reporting. Its front indicators provide direct checks for interface power, operating status, run state and redundant-bus activity during commissioning or replacement.

Station Data Path
Replacement Checkpoints
- Keep the IC670GBI001 identity separate from later IC670GBI002 versions.
- Retain the wired terminal block when the stored station configuration must remain with the installation.
- Confirm station input/output byte totals and connected module population before power-up.
Buyer Questions
Can IC670GBI001 be replaced by IC670GBI002 without reviewing the station?
Treat them as different revisions of the Genius BIU family; confirm firmware, configuration and host compatibility before substitution.
Where is the Field Control station configuration retained for IC670GBI001?
The BIU terminal block contains non-volatile memory used to retain the station configuration.
Why does IC670GBI001 show OK but not RUN after replacement?
Check that the installed I/O modules match the stored configuration and that the Genius bus controller is supplying the expected control state.
What should remain wired when changing IC670GBI001?
The terminal block carries bus and power wiring and also retains configuration data, so it should be handled as part of the replacement plan.
How should a spare IC670GBI001 be specified?
Include the complete model, station module list, power arrangement, Genius bus address and required hardware revision.
