Product Short Description

Product Introduction:

The IC676PBI016 is a 16‑point digital input module with a PROFIBUS‑DP interface, part of the GE Fanuc VersaMax IP series for harsh industrial environments requiring IP67 protection. It converts 24VDC field device signals (sensors, switches) into digital data for the host controller via PROFIBUS‑DP, with M12 connectors for secure, quick connections and autobaud support up to 12 Mbaud. The module operates on 18–30VDC power, draws 35mA (UL) or 8mA + 1.2A max sensor current (US), and offers 16 isolated inputs with 5V low/11V high thresholds, <1ms on delay, and 2ms off delay. It mounts on standard DIN rails, supports hot‑swap, and integrates with VersaMax controllers/PACSystems for reliable distributed I/O in process and manufacturing automation.
