Description
GE IC200ERM002 Technical Specifications:
- Connection: High-speed serial expansion cable.
- Distance: Up to 30 meters (100 feet) between transmitter and receiver.
- Capacity: Supports up to 2 baseplates (4 to 8 slots depending on baseplate model).
Functional Features:
- Physical Separation: Ideal for applications where I/O points are located far from the main control panel.
- Transparent Expansion: The CPU treats remote I/O exactly the same as local I/O; no special programming is required.
- Daisy-Chain Support: Multiple receiver modules can be chained for even greater I/O distribution.
Application Scenarios:
- Large machinery where control panels must be mounted away from the machine frame.
- Distributed water/wastewater lift stations.
- Conveyor systems spanning long distances.
Material Composition & Structural Characteristics:
- Cable Interface: Robust, keyed connectors to prevent accidental disconnection.
- Shielding: Integrated shielding to protect the high-speed serial link from EMI.
Working Principle: The receiver module converts the high-speed serial data from the expansion cable back into parallel backplane signals for the local expansion baseplates. It also distributes power from the transmitter to the remote baseplates.
Installation Requirements:
- Cable Routing: Keep the expansion cable away from high-voltage AC lines and motor leads.
- Termination: Ensure the cable is securely fastened at both the transmitter and receiver ends.
Usage Precautions:
- Cable Length: Do not exceed the maximum specified cable length to prevent communication errors.
- Power Budget: Verify that the transmitter module can supply adequate power for all modules in the remote baseplates.
