The IC200BEM003 is a master module manufactured by GE Fanuc. It sends and receives data on a PROFIBUS network. This device works with Versamax, PROFINET, and CPU 005 systems. Therefore, it fits many distributed control architectures. Engineers rely on it for flexible network integration.
The IC200BEM003 supports variable data rates from 9.6 kbaud to 12 Mbaud. It processes 3584 bytes of input data and 3584 bytes of output data. Additionally, the module manages up to 125 slave devices on one network. This capacity reduces hardware needs in large installations.
The module includes Sync and Freeze modes for coordinated control. These modes help synchronize slave outputs and freeze inputs during critical operations. Furthermore, the IC200BEM003 features a slave status array table and slave diagnostics address. These tools simplify troubleshooting and network monitoring.
The network uses a linear bus topology terminated at both ends. Shielded twisted pair cable carries data and information. For connection, the module uses a 9-pin D-sub connector. Moreover, it consumes 450 milliamps from the 5 V bus.
Isolation ratings protect the module and connected equipment. The frame-to-ground isolation reaches 250 V AC. The network-to-backplane isolation reaches 1500 V AC for one minute. These ratings support safe operation in industrial environments.
The IC200BEM003 has compact dimensions of 4.3 inches wide, 2.63 inches high, and 1.95 inches deep. Its small size saves panel space in dense control cabinets. The module carries UL certification for installation in hazardous areas. Therefore, it suits demanding industrial sites.
First, configure the IC200BEM003 using a host controller. Use the software utility on a Windows operating system. Next, set the data rate and slave parameters for your network. Then, mount the module and connect the shielded twisted pair cable.
After that, attach the 9-pin D-sub connector firmly. Ensure termination at both ends of the linear bus. Meanwhile, verify the 5 V supply provides at least 450 milliamps. Finally, check the front LED indicators for communication activity.
