Features:
- Connects one Field Control I/O station to a PROFIBUS-DP master.
- Accommodates as many as eight I/O modules in the station.
- Uses the GEF_0534.GSD resource for PROFIBUS master configuration.
The IC670PBI001 station definition begins with the interface status-and-control entry in slot 0. Configured I/O modules then follow their installed physical order, and empty positions between them are not permitted.
A nominal 24 VDC source supplies the interface across its specified 18 to 30 VDC range. Its internal 6.5 VDC output powers the attached module logic, so the combined station load must remain within the available current budget.
The DG product update corrected earlier operation and required replacement of previous units, while the EG release preserved the same function and added the documented ATEX approval. The complete catalog suffix therefore matters when maintaining an installed station.
Quotation and legacy-documentation assistance remains available through Apter Power for the General Electric IC670PBI001 PROFIBUS-DP Bus Interface Unit.

Network media and distance limits
- Topology: Use a linear PROFIBUS bus terminated at both ends; short stubs are permitted within the documented limits.
- Type A cable: Select shielded twisted pair rated at 135 to 165 ohms with less than 30 pF per meter capacitance.
- Transfer rates: The supported PROFIBUS-DP range extends from 9.6 kbit/s to 12 Mbit/s.
- Bus length: Maximum electrical distance decreases from 1,200 m at lower rates to 100 m at 12 Mbit/s.
Electrical and reliability data
- Inrush demand: Allow for a 15 to 50 A peak lasting no more than 3 ms under the documented installation conditions.
- Hold-up time: The interface supports a maximum 10 ms interruption from nominal input voltage.
- Interface reliability: Calculated mean time between failures exceeds 183,000 operating hours.
- Terminal block load: The BIU terminal block requires no more than 16 mA and has a calculated MTBF above 600,000 hours.
Local connections and setup resources
- Bus connector: Connect the PROFIBUS cable to the front 9-pin interface using the published signal assignments.
- Address setting: Set the PROFIBUS address with the interface DIP switches or through the supported BIU configuration procedure.
- Hand-held access: The portable programmer can monitor data, force and unforce I/O, and display station diagnostics.
- Power wiring: Terminate the external supply on the BIU terminal block and keep field wiring on the removable base assembly.
