GE IC200CPU001-DH VersaMax CPU Module – Embedded Controller

This compact CPU module handles logic execution for distributed I/O systems. It operates as the main processor within a VersaMax PLC station. You can program this unit for discrete and analog control tasks.

Key Technical Specifications

Physical Design and Mounting

This module measures 130 mm in width and 110 mm in height. Its depth reaches 55 mm for DIN rail or panel mounting. The unit weighs 340 grams, making it one of the lighter CPUs in this series. Four clip-locks secure the module firmly to the base rail.

Internal Processing and Energy Storage

One hundred fifty-eight components populate this double-sided PCB assembly. A 4700 µF capacitor bank provides transient hold-up during power fluctuations. Additionally, a 3V lithium battery preserves user programs for up to two years. Consequently, your logic remains intact even when the main supply drops completely. The onboard CPU executes ladder diagrams at 1.2 milliseconds per thousand instructions.

Communication Interfaces and Programming

An RS-232 port uses a 15-pin D-sub connector for programming terminals. You can also connect a human-machine interface through this same port. A second RS-485 port uses a two-wire terminal block for multi-drop networking. Therefore, the module supports up to 16 slave devices on a single serial link. You program the CPU using GE’s Proficy Machine Edition software.

Local I/O Expansion and Scan Performance

The CPU manages up to 64 local digital I/O points directly. Alternatively, you can configure 16 analog channels for process variable monitoring. The module scans inputs, executes logic, and updates outputs in one cycle. This deterministic behavior suits time-critical applications like packaging or assembly lines. LED indicators on the front panel display run, fault, and power status clearly.
