GE Fanuc IC200BEM002

Part Number: IC200BEM002

The GE Fanuc IC200BEM002 is a PROFIBUS-DP Slave Module designed for seamless integration within the Versamax Series PLC Network Communications framework. This network module supports up to 32 stations without repeaters and can expand to a maximum of 125 stations when repeaters are employed. It provides a robust I/O data capacity of 384 bytes, accessible via a 9-pin D-sub connector. The module's firmware version, 1.00, is stored in FLASH memory, allowing for convenient upgrades through serial downloads when connected to a PC. This PROFIBUS network module features software configuration capabilities, accommodating baud rates from 9.6 Kbaud to 12 Mbaud, which are automatically detected. During installation, it is imperative to inspect all components for any potential damage to ensure safety. The module can be securely mounted onto a DIN rail by clicking it onto the communications carrier, ensuring that all carriers are installed within the same section and that the DIN rail has a conductive, unpainted finish for proper grounding. To install the IC200BEM002, ensure the module is in the unlocked position, align the connectors, and press the module down until the engagement tabs snap into place, followed by locking the latch for security. Following installation, connect the communications bus, add any additional modules as required, and power up the system. The IC200BEM002 is equipped with LED indicators that facilitate monitoring of installation integrity and power status. With a power consumption of 460 mA from a 5V output, this module is engineered for reliable performance in industrial automation applications.
