PRODUCT INFORMATION
Product Overview
The General Electric IC200CMM020 is a VersaMax Modbus Module designed for industrial network communication. This serial master module connects host systems to field devices over an RS-485 physical interface. It manages communication across distributed networks supporting 1 to 247 Modbus RTU slave devices. The unit operates effectively within an ambient temperature range of 0 to 40 degrees Celsius.
Data transmission operates in either half duplex or full duplex modes to match network cabling. Supported communication speeds include 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, and 19200 baud. The hardware draws 460 mA at 5 V and 5 mA at 3.3 V from the backplane. Each Genius NIU station accommodates up to two serial modules for expanded network integration.
