The IC200DBI001 functions as a high-performance DeviceNet Slave Network Interface Unit (NIU) for the VersaMax I/O family. This module enables the integration of VersaMax I/O modules into a DeviceNet network, allowing a master controller to manage distributed inputs and outputs across the factory floor. It acts as the "head" of a remote I/O station, managing communication for up to 8 local I/O modules. We supply this unit as 100% Brand New and Original, ensuring seamless connectivity and industrial-grade reliability for your distributed control architecture.

Distributed I/O Scalability: The IC200DBI001 allows you to place I/O points closer to the actual field sensors and actuators. This distributed approach eliminates massive wiring bundles back to a central PLC, significantly reducing installation labor and material costs.
Flexible Data Rate Negotiation: This module supports standard DeviceNet speeds of 125, 250, and 500 kbps. This flexibility ensures compatibility with existing network trunk line lengths and meets varying response time requirements for real-time control.
Comprehensive Visual Diagnostics: Six front-panel LED indicators provide immediate feedback on network and module health. These indicators (MOD, NET, FAULT, etc.) allow technicians to distinguish between local hardware failures and network-wide communication issues without connecting specialized software.
High-Efficiency Data Mapping: With a capacity for 128 bytes of input and output data, a single IC200DBI001 station accommodates high-density digital and analog module combinations. This makes it an ideal choice for complex OEM machinery requiring diverse signal types.
Simplified Maintenance: The module integrates into standard VersaMax carriers. This modularity allows for the rapid replacement of the NIU without disturbing field wiring on the attached I/O modules, keeping Mean Time to Repair (MTTR) to an absolute minimum.
Can the IC200DBI001 function as a DeviceNet Master?
No. The IC200DBI001 operates strictly as a Slave device. It requires a DeviceNet Master (Scanner), such as an IC200BEM103 or a third-party controller, to initiate communications and manage the network.
How many I/O modules can I attach to a single IC200DBI001?
You can install up to 8 VersaMax I/O modules on the same station as the IC200DBI001. Ensure your total data count does not exceed the 128-byte input/output limit.
Does the module require external power for DeviceNet communication?
Yes. While the module logic is powered via the VersaMax backplane, the DeviceNet network itself requires a separate 24VDC power source on the 5-pin connector (V+ and V-) to power the transceiver circuitry.
How do I set the MAC ID and Baud Rate?
You typically configure the Node Address (MAC ID) and Baud Rate using DIP switches located on the module or through software configuration tools, depending on the hardware revision. Always ensure the Baud Rate matches the rest of the DeviceNet network.
Our production line was down due to a faulty Bently Nevada monitor. We found it in stock here and they shipped it via DHL immediately. Back in operation within 48 hours—truly a lifesaver for our plant.
