GE Fanuc IC200ERM002

Part Number: IC200ERM002

The IC200ERM002 is a non-isolated expansion receiver module engineered by GE Automation and Controls, designed to enhance the capabilities of the VersaMax programmable logic controller and increase the number of connected modules in input and output stations. This module supports up to seven groups, with a maximum of eight modules per group, thereby facilitating comprehensive system expansion. Measuring 2.63 inches (66.8 millimeters) in width and 5.04 inches (128 millimeters) in height, the module requires a power supply for connected devices. It is essential to connect any power booster carrier or additional power supply to the main power supply of this expansion module for optimal performance. The IC200ERM002 features three on-board LED indicators that provide real-time device status updates. This expansion module is compatible with both multi-rack and single-ended configurations within VersaMax input and output systems. In multi-rack setups, the maximum cable length is limited to 15 meters (approximately 50 feet), while single-ended implementations are confined to a one-meter (approximately 3.3 feet) cable length. Data transfer rates vary between 5 megabits per second and 2.765 megabits per second, depending on the configuration used. Additionally, the IC200ERM002 is equipped with two 26-pin female D-shell expansion ports; the upper port accommodates an inbound expansion cable, while the lower port allows for daisy chaining to another expansion rack or connecting to a terminator plug. The module also supports two backplane current options: 5 volts, with a current consumption of 70 milliamps, or 3.3 volts, consuming 20 milliamps.
