The GE IC200ERM002C acts as the high-speed communication gateway for expanded VersaMax PLC architectures. This 100% Brand New isolated expansion receiver module bridges the gap between the main CPU and peripheral racks, maintaining signal integrity over distances up to 50 feet. It facilitates the distribution of I/O and communication signals across large-scale manufacturing and utility deployments, ensuring the central processor maintains deterministic control over remote modules.

High-Speed Throughput: The module supports data transfer rates up to 5 Mbps, minimizing latency in complex multi-rack configurations and ensuring rapid I/O updates.
Superior Noise Immunity: Integrated electrical isolation protects the system backplane from ground loops and external electromagnetic interference (EMI), a critical requirement in heavy industrial environments.
Flexible Expansion Topology: The dual D-shell connector design enables "daisy-chain" wiring. Engineers can connect multiple expansion racks in a series, significantly reducing cable complexity and cabinet clutter.
Simplified Maintenance: LED diagnostics provide immediate visual confirmation of power status and bus activity. This allows field technicians to isolate communication faults within seconds without specialized diagnostic tools.
Precision Addressing: The manual rotary switch allows for physical Rack ID assignment, preventing software-based addressing conflicts and ensuring the CPU correctly maps local I/O modules.
What is the difference between IC200ERM002 and the "C" version?
The "C" suffix indicates a hardware revision that maintains full backwards compatibility with the original IC200ERM002. It serves as a direct drop-in replacement for older versions within the VersaMax series.
Where must I install this module in the rack?
You must install the IC200ERM002C in the leftmost slot (the first slot) of the expansion rack to properly interface with the backplane and power supply.
What cable should I use for maximum distance?
To achieve the maximum 50-foot multi-rack distance, you must use high-quality, shielded expansion cables compatible with the 26-pin D-shell ports to prevent signal degradation.
Does this module require its own power supply?
The module draws its operating current from the backplane power supply. Ensure your installed power supply module provides sufficient 5V and 3.3V current for all modules in that specific rack.
Our production line was down due to a faulty Bently Nevada monitor. We found it in stock here and they shipped it via DHL immediately. Back in operation within 48 hours—truly a lifesaver for our plant.
