Description
GE IC200BEM002 Technical Specifications:
- Function: Backplane bus extension
- Extension Slots: Adds 8 additional I/O slots
- Bus Type: IC200 backplane, 5V logic
- Signal Integrity: Maintains full bus speed and timing across extended length
- Power: Passive — draws power from the chassis backplane
- Current Draw: 100mA (typical)
- Operating Temperature: 0°C to 60°C
- Dimensions: Standard IC200 single-width module
Functional Features:
- Transparent extension — no configuration required in software
- Maintains full 5V bus voltage and timing signals
- Supports hot-swapping of modules in extended slots
- LED indicators show bus power and activity
Application Scenarios:
- Large I/O count applications where a single chassis is insufficient
- Distributed I/O configurations in medium-sized process plants
- Machine builders needing more than 16 I/O points in a single rack
Installation Requirements:
- Must be installed in an IC200 chassis adjacent to the CPU
- No special wiring — simply slides into the backplane
- Ensure the chassis power supply (IC200PWR102B) can handle the total current of all modules including extended ones
