GE Fanuc Versamax Series IC200BEM003 Network Communications Module

The GE Fanuc Versamax Series IC200BEM003 is a PROFIBUS-DP (Master) Network Communications Module. It is designed for use with the Versamax PLC series and provides advanced communication capabilities over a PROFIBUS-DP network, allowing interaction with other PROFIBUS devices such as remote I/O, controllers, and field devices.

IC200BEM003 is a PLC Network Communications PROFIBUS-DP (Master) Module from the GE Fanuc Versamax Series. This network style master module allows a Versamax CPU005, ProfitNet Scanner, or CPUE05 to receive and send data on a Profibus-DP network. This specific master module features numerous Profibus communication options with support for all standard data rates and sync/freeze modes. With a maximum support of 3,584 bytes of input or output data, the IC200BEM003 supports DP-V1 read, write, and alarm messages with ease. Any necessary firmware updates are received indirectly from the host controller using the WinLoader software utility.

Key Features of the IC200BEM003 PROFIBUS-DP Master Module:

PROFIBUS-DP Master Functionality:
Acts as a master controller on the PROFIBUS-DP network, allowing communication between the Versamax PLC and other PROFIBUS-compliant devices.
Facilitates the transfer of input and output data with a maximum data capacity of 3,584 bytes (1,968 bytes of input data and 1,968 bytes of output data).

Compatible Host Devices:
Supports Versamax CPU005, CPUE05, and ProfiNet Scanner modules.
Allows the host to send and receive data on a PROFIBUS-DP network, expanding the network’s capabilities.

The IC200BEM003 PROFIBUS-DP Master Module enhances communication in complex automation networks by efficiently linking the Versamax PLC to a wide variety of field devices. It provides robust, high-speed communication and supports advanced features such as diagnostics and DP-V1 alarms, making it suitable for demanding industrial applications.
