GE IC200ERM002 Non-Isolated Expansion Receiver Module – Versamax Series

Overview

The GE IC200ERM002 is a non-isolated expansion receiver module from GE Fanuc, part of the Versamax series. It is designed to enhance the functionality of Versamax PLC and I/O output stations, allowing you to connect additional modules and expand your system. This module provides an easy way to increase the number of connected devices while maintaining reliable communication and data transfer.

Key Features

• Expansion Capability: The IC200ERM002 supports up to 7 racks, with each rack accommodating up to 8 modules. This feature allows for significant expansion of your automation system.
• Flexible System Design: It can function in both single-ended and multi-rack configurations, giving users flexibility in system design and setup.
• Data Transfer Speed: Depending on the system setup, the module supports a data transfer rate of 2.765 Mbps or 5 Mbps, ensuring fast and efficient communication.
• LED Indicators: 3 onboard LED indicators provide clear feedback on the operating status of the device, helping users quickly identify system conditions.

Technical Specifications

System Configuration

• Multi-Rack System: In a multi-rack setup, the total cable length must not exceed 50 feet (15 meters). This setup supports the addition of multiple racks, allowing for an expanded automation system.
• Single-Ended System: In a single-ended system with one expansion rack, the cable length should not exceed 3.3 feet (1 meter). This setup is ideal for smaller, more compact installations.

Power Supply and Current Consumption

• The IC200ERM002 requires a power supply to operate, which is installed directly on the module.
• The module’s current consumption is dependent on the backplane voltage. When using a 5 V backplane, the current consumption is 70 mA. If operating with a 3.3 V backplane, the current consumption is reduced to 20 mA.

Applications

The GE IC200ERM002 expansion receiver module is suitable for industrial automation and control systems, particularly in environments where flexibility and scalability are important. It supports the Versamax PLC system, making it an ideal solution for expanding I/O output stations in a wide range of applications.
