GE IC200ERM002E IC200ERM002C Non-Isolated Expansion Receiver Module

Product Description

The GE IC200ERM002E is a high-performance Non-Isolated Expansion Receiver Module designed for the VersaMax PLC system. It allows engineers to extend the I/O capacity across multiple racks by receiving signals from an Expansion Transmitter Module. This module simplifies system scalability, enabling distributed control architectures without compromising response times or reliability.

Moreover, the IC200ERM002E supports multi-rack configurations with fiber optic communication, ensuring secure and interference-free signal transmission. Its compact design and DIN rail or panel mounting compatibility provide flexibility for integration in various industrial environments. In addition, built-in LED indicators make monitoring communication and module status straightforward, enhancing operational efficiency.

Designed for industrial applications, this module reliably supports high-speed data transfer and long cable connections. For instance, it can handle expansion distances up to 50 feet for multi-rack installations while maintaining consistent 5 Mbps communication speeds. Engineers can therefore confidently deploy this module in automated manufacturing, material handling, or process control systems where robust and flexible I/O expansion is essential.
