The GE Fanuc IC200ETM001, also cataloged as the IC200ETM Expansion Transmitter Module, operates as a dedicated hardware component for multi-rack I/O expansion within VersaMax PLC platforms. The module interfaces directly with a host CPU or Network Interface Unit (NIU) via its 26-pin female D-shell port to drive serial expansion communication across up to seven remote expansion racks.

Backplane Bus Communication Velocity and Deterministic Networks
The module regulates parallel expansion frames to ensure continuous backplane bus communication velocity across distributed baseplates and connected Profinet or EtherNet/IP deterministic networks. Higher communication speeds up to 1 Mbps reduce propagation latency, maintaining high I/O density scaling throughout local and remote baseplates. Integrated system registers enforce strict firmware flash compatibility across attached I/O and communication modules.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What determines the maximum expansion cable distance for the IC200ETM001 module?
A: Maximum cable distance is 750 m when using ERM001 isolated receivers; if any ERM002 non-isolated receiver is present in the line, total bus length is restricted to 15 m.
Q: What is the backplane current draw of the IC200ETM001?
A: The module draws 44 mA from the local 5 VDC backplane bus.
Field Installation Guidelines
- Module Insertion: Ensure baseplate power is turned off before sliding the expansion module into the designated slot on the host CPU or NIU rack.
- Connector Cable Coupling: Secure the 26-pin female D-shell cable using the integral thumbscrews on IC200CBL series cables to prevent physical disconnects under panel vibration.
- Grounding and Isolation: When operating at extended distances up to 750 m, verify that 500 VDC isolation boundaries are maintained using ERM001 receiver modules and properly bonded cable shields.
- Firmware Port Maintenance: The 16-pin male serial pass-through connector must be kept free of metallic contaminants and reserved exclusively for local maintenance and firmware flashing.
