PRODUCT INFORMATION
Product Overview
The General Electric IC200BEM002 is a VersaMax Communication Module serving as a PROFIBUS-DP slave device. It enables data transfer across industrial networks at speeds from 9.6 Kbaud up to 12 Mbaud. The unit provides automatic baud rate detection to streamline commissioning on active fieldbus installations.
This interface module handles up to 384 bytes of input and output data on the bus. It operates on a 5 V supply rating and draws an operating current of 460 mA. The device connects using a standard 9-pin D-sub interface and installs directly on a DIN rail.
