Processing Capabilities and Speed

The IC200CPUE05-CF executes 0.6 ms per 1K of boolean logic operations. It supports floating-point math and string handling without performance loss. The onboard operating system manages multiple program blocks and timed interrupts. Consequently, this CPU responds quickly to fast-changing process signals.

Built-in I/O Configuration

This CPU module provides eight discrete inputs for local sensor connections. These inputs accept both sink and source wiring configurations automatically. Eight DC sourcing outputs directly control small solenoids or indicator lights. Therefore, you can handle simple machine control without additional I/O modules.

Memory Architecture and Data Retention

The IC200CPUE05-CF stores user programs in non-volatile flash memory permanently. This memory retains all logic and configuration during complete power loss. The unit also includes battery-backed RAM for retentive variable storage. This lithium battery maintains data for up to six months without external power.

Communication Capabilities

This CPU module features two RS-232 ports for programmer and HMI connections. One RS-485 port supports Modbus RTU slave communication networks. The Ethernet port handles SRTP and Modbus TCP protocols simultaneously. Consequently, you can connect multiple operator interfaces and SCADA systems easily.

Energy Storage and Power Ride-Through

The IC200CPUE05-CF contains internal capacitors for brief power interruption handling. These capacitors maintain operation for up to 10 milliseconds during voltage dips. A lithium battery provides backup for retentive memory storage. The battery draws no current when the system has main power applied.

Installation and Configuration

Mount the IC200CPUE05-CF onto a standard VersaMax carrier base. Insert the carrier into a VersaMax rack or panel mount it separately. Connect 24V DC power to the designated terminals on the carrier. Download your application via Ethernet or serial port before commissioning. Always use configuration software to set the IP address initially.
