GE Fanuc IC200BEM003 Intelligent Master Module

The IC200BEM003 module is a master module manufactured by GE Fanuc that sends and receives data on a PROFIBUS network.

It is compatible with Versamax, PROFINET and CPU 005 systems.

About IC200BEM003

The IC200BEM003 module is a Versamax master module designed by GE Fanuc.

It can easily send/receive data on a V1 PROFINET network. It supports variable data rates.

A total of 3584 bytes of input data and 3584 bytes of output data can be processed using this module.

The module has synchronised and frozen modes. This network interface module has a data rate range between 9.6 k baud and 12 M baud.

The IC200BEM003 module uses a linear bus network topology terminated at both ends. It uses shielded twisted pair cables for data and information transfer.

The network module is connected using a 9-pin D-sub connector. It is small and compact, measuring 4.3 inches wide by 2.63 inches high by 1.956 inches deep.

The Versamax IC200BEM003 module is an intelligent module with a slave status array list, slave diagnostic addresses, and other features.

It draws a total of 5 milliamps of current from a 450-volt output.The IC200BEM003 module can be configured using a software utility with a host controller and a Windows operating system.

The front of the module has LEDs that light up when there is communication activity.

The IC200BEM003 module* supports up to 125 slave devices and can be configured through software.

Network-to-frame ground isolation is rated at 250 volts AC and PROFIBUS network to backplane is rated at 1500 volts AC for 1 minute.

The module is certified to UL standards for installation in hazardous areas.

Network Interface Module

The Network Interface Module allows the VersaMax PLC to operate as a master or slave on a network.

Currently available modules support DeviceNet master or slave communication and PROFIBUS-DP slave communication. AS-i master communication is also available.
