GE IC200ERM001C Power Module for VersaMax PLC Systems

The GE IC200ERM001C provides regulated DC power to VersaMax I/O and CPU modules. You can mount this unit onto a standard DIN rail in the VersaMax system. It converts 24 V DC input into isolated 5 V DC output for the backplane. This module supports the entire VersaMax I/O network reliably.

Technical Specifications and Hardware Configuration

This power module measures 110 mm in height. Its width reaches 40 mm, and the depth equals 68 mm. The GE IC200ERM001C weighs approximately 0.22 kilograms. A single internal PCB carries all regulation and isolation circuits. The module contains two electrolytic capacitors for basic energy storage. These capacitors provide 10 milliseconds of hold-up time during input dips. One 5-pin removable terminal block accepts 24 V DC input wiring. A dedicated 6-pin connector delivers 5 V DC output to the backplane.

Electrical Ratings and Performance Characteristics

The GE IC200ERM001C accepts input voltages from 18 V DC to 30 V DC. It delivers a nominal output of 5 V DC at 2 A continuously. Output ripple stays below 30 mV peak-to-peak at full load. Efficiency reaches 88 percent under typical operating conditions. Consequently, this unit generates minimal heat inside the cabinet. Overvoltage protection clamps the output at 5.5 V DC maximum. Reverse polarity protection prevents damage from incorrect input wiring. Short-circuit protection shuts down the output during overload conditions.

Installation and Operational Guidelines

You must mount this module on a DIN rail using the integral clips. Transitioning to wiring, use 0.5 mm² to 1.5 mm² stranded wire for the input terminals. A green front LED indicates normal output voltage presence. The module requires 25 mm of free space above and below for airflow. For safety, disconnect input power before removing the unit. The operating temperature range spans from -20°C to +60°C reliably.
