GE IC200ERM001 Isolated Expansion Receiver Module

Product Description

The GE Fanuc IC200ERM001 is an isolated expansion receiver module designed for VersaMax PLC systems. It allows reliable communication between the main PLC rack and remote I/O racks, extending system I/O capabilities without signal degradation. Moreover, its isolated design minimizes electrical noise and interference across long cable runs, ensuring consistent performance in demanding industrial environments.

This module works seamlessly with expansion transmitter modules, such as the IC200ETM001, enabling distributed control architectures with flexible rack positioning. Engineers will appreciate its DIN rail mounting and intuitive rotary switch for rack ID assignment, which simplifies system configuration. In addition, LED indicators provide immediate visual feedback on power and communication status, reducing troubleshooting time.

The IC200ERM001 supports cable lengths up to 2460 feet (750 meters), making it ideal for large industrial installations where reliable signal transmission is critical. Its compact design ensures easy installation on the leftmost slot of the expansion rack, while the module draws power directly from the backplane for consistent operation.
