PRODUCT INFORMATION
Product Overview
The General Electric IC200ERM001 is an Expansion Receiver Module for the VersaMax platform. It interfaces expansion racks with a host system alongside an expansion transmitter like the ETM001. The module features two 26-pin female D-shell communication ports. Backplane power operates with a minimum voltage of 3.3 V and a maximum output rating of 5 V.
Power is drawn directly from the installed backplane power supply. LED indicators display backplane power status and expansion bus communication activity. A rotary switch located beneath the front access door selects the expansion rack ID. The unit mounts in the far-left slot on the DIN rail of the expansion rack. All power sources must be disconnected before removing the module from the rack.
