GE IC200ETM001 IC200ETM001C Expansion Transmitter Module

Product Description

The GE Fanuc IC200ETM001 is a high-performance Expansion Transmitter Module designed for VersaMax PLC systems. It allows seamless communication between the main PLC rack or Network Interface Unit (NIU) and up to seven additional remote expansion racks. Therefore, it provides scalable I/O expansion while maintaining reliable signal transmission over long distances.

This module supports both isolated and non-isolated I/O modules, ensuring flexible integration in complex control architectures. Moreover, it simplifies system design by enabling distributed I/O installations without sacrificing data integrity. Installation is straightforward, with the module mounted directly in the main rack adjacent to the CPU or NIU.

In addition, the IC200ETM001 supports long-distance communication, transmitting data up to 750 meters between transmitter and receiver. Its robust 26-pin D-shell connector ensures secure electrical connections, while LED indicators provide quick status monitoring for operational reliability.
