IC200ETM001 | GE Fanuc Versamax Expansion Connector
Description
IC200ETM001 is an expansion connector module belonging to the GE Fanuc VersaMax product series, designed specifically for expanding VersaMax PLC systems. Its core function is to enable multi-rack cascading, supporting up to 7 additional expansion racks. Each additional rack can accommodate up to 8 I/O modules, including one fieldbus communication module, significantly expanding the system’s I/O capacity and communication capabilities. The module features a front-mounted 26-pin female connector that facilitates secure connection to a compatible expansion receiver module, such as the IC200ERM001. When paired with the IC200ERM001, it enables daisy-chain bus expansion for the VersaMax PLC system, supporting deployment in high electromagnetic interference environments like metallurgical continuous casting machines, port cranes, and wind power converters. The module works with backplane power supply systems, and its compact design integrates seamlessly with the VersaMax product ecosystem, providing a flexible, scalable solution for industrial automation applications requiring extended I/O and communication functionality.
