About the IC200ERM002

The GE Fanuc IC200ERM002 module is a non-isolated expansion receiver module that is part of the Versamax family.

This expansion module is used to enhance the functionality of a Versamax PLC or I/O output station and also increases the number of modules that can be connected.

The IC200ERM002 Expansion Module has a **capacity of 7 racks with up to 8 modules per rack*.

It requires an installed power supply to power all connected devices.

When an additional power supply or booster carrier is used, it should be connected to the mains power supply on the IC200ERM002 Expansion Module.

It also features 3 on-board LEDs to indicate the operational status of the device.

The module can also be used as a single-ended or multi-rack Versamax I/O expansion system.

Where the module is used in a multi-rack implementation, the total cable length cannot exceed 50 feet or 15 meters.

When the Versamax GE Fanuc IC200ERM002 Non-Isolated Expansion Receiver Module is used in a single-ended system with only 1 expansion rack, the

The cable length should not exceed 3.3 feet or 1 meter.

It has a data rate of 2.765 Mbps or 5 Mbps, depending on the implementation used.

The GE Fanuc IC200ERM002 expansion module is equipped with two 26-pin D-shell expansion female ports.

In addition, it has two different current consumption ratings with a 3.3 volt or 5 volt backplane rating.

When the backplane voltage is 5 volts, the current consumption is rated at 70 milliamps and when the backplane voltage is rated at 20.3 volts, the current consumption is rated at 3 milliamps.

About the IC200MDD841

The IC200MDD841 module is a high-speed counter module manufactured by GE Fanuc.

It is part of the Versamax series and has mixed discrete inputs and outputs, including 12 positive logic outputs and 20 positive logic inputs, some of which are configurable.

Devices connected to these I/O connectors have two states: on and off.

The GE Fanuc IC2MDD200 module has no protection features, such as internal fuses or isolation of individual channels.

It supports a variety of input and output configuration settings, such as pulse-width modulation, ramp pulse train, pulse train, and high-speed counters.

When this module is set to its default configuration, it has 841 Type A high-speed counter outputs and inputs.

These high-speed counters process pulse signals at 4 kHz. In addition, in the default configuration, the module has 80 standard outputs and 8 standard inputs.

The backplane powers the GE Fanuc IC200MDD841 high-speed counter module, but a separate power supply powers all external output devices.

When the module is connected to a backplane power supply rated at 5 volts, it draws 30 milliamps of current.

The inputs and outputs of the IC200MDD841 module operate at 24 volts DC.

The module’s on/off state current ratings are 3 to 8 mA/0 to 0.5 mA, respectively.

It measures 66.8 mm or 2.63 inches long, 110 mm or 4.3 inches wide, and 50 mm or 1.956 inches deep.

The high-speed counter module provides error detection and displays up to 13 words of status data.

It has on-board LEDs that display device status information.

The IC200ALG630 has a backplane current consumption of 3 mA at the 125 VDC and 5.3 VDC outputs on the backplane.

It is also rated for optical and frame-to-ground isolation with a continuous voltage duration of 250 VAC and a 1500 VAC voltage duration of 1 minute.

The module also provides LED status indicators, specifically an OK LED that indicates active backplane power when the module fails, and amber when lit green.

The IC200ALG630 module is GE’s 16-bit analog input module. It is an industrial module designed to handle a wide range of application requirements.

It comes with a 7-bit thermocouple with 16 channels. This thermocouple analog input module receives power from the backplane power supply.

It offers four cold end compensation options, no cold end, remote cold end, fixed cold end, and localized cold end compensation.

It is rated at 5 volts DC. It supports different thermocouples of type J, K, T, S and R.

The IC200ALG630 module is capable of drawing a total of 5 milliamps of current from the 125 volt bus.

The update rate of the analog module is 60 milliseconds for 60 Hz and 50 milliseconds for 70 Hz.

An OK indicator on the front of the module indicates the presence of backplane power.

The IC200ALG630 module has a compact design that saves panel space.

It measures 4.3 inches wide, 2.63 inches high, and 1.95 inches deep.

The temperature range should be set between 0 and 60 degrees Celsius. The thermocouple module has advanced diagnostic features.

It can issue channel-specific alarm reports. It can also detect over- and under-range conditions in the input.

Faults caused by thermistors can be easily detected by the module as internal faults. The module has not experienced thermal derating.
