GE Fanuc IC200BEM103

Part Number: IC200BEM103 is a DeviceNet Master Module designed for use within the GE Fanuc Versamax Series of PLC products. This network communications module enables seamless interfacing between the Versamax PLC CPU and a DeviceNet network, provided the appropriate configuration is applied. The installation process is straightforward; the communications carrier should first be mounted on an unpainted DIN Rail to ensure optimal grounding. Align the module with the communications connector, ensuring the latch is in the unlocked position, and press down until both tabs audibly click, then secure the latch into the locked position. The module's front features a connector for linking to the communications bus, and users can remove the connector cover if additional module installation is required prior to system activation. Upon power-up, the IC200BEM103 features indicator LEDs that verify operational status. It is vital to adhere to safety guidelines when installing this module in hazardous locations. For configuring the DeviceNet Network Control module, two steps are necessary: integrating the module into the PLC configuration through configuration software, and utilizing programming software to execute a COMMREQ for network addressing and data length specifications. The IC200BEM103 supports up to 128 bytes of input and output data, operates at network data rates of either 125 Kbaud, 250 Kbaud, or 500 Kbaud, and consumes 490 mA from a 5V output.
