The IC200BEM103 is a network interface module from GE Fanuc. It belongs to the Versamax series and connects devices to a DeviceNet network. This module supports up to 40 slave devices. Therefore, it suits small to medium distributed control systems. Engineers value it for simple setup and reliable data exchange.
The IC200BEM103 offers three selectable data rates: 125, 250, and 500 Kbaud. It exchanges up to 512 bytes of input and output data with other networks. Additionally, the module supports 64 nodes without bridging. This feature reduces wiring complexity in larger installations.
The module processes a data size between 0 and 8 bytes for message fragmentation. It also includes duplicate address detection for safer network operation. Furthermore, the IC200BEM103 can work as a generic communication module. Users configure it in three different operating modes.
Power consumption stays low. The module draws 140 milliamps from the 5 V backplane output. It also uses up to 125 milliamps for the DeviceNet network. Meanwhile, 24 V DC powers the network for node devices.
The IC200BEM103 operates in a Class I Division 2 rated environment. It does not support redundancy setups. The operating temperature ranges from 0 to 60 degrees Celsius. For wiring, the module uses shielded pair cable with a center drain and a 19-strand drain wire.
First, place the latch on the IC200BEM103 in the unlocked position. Next, align the connectors and the latch carefully. Then, push the module until you hear a click sound. After that, connect the 5-pin open connector for network wiring.
The front panel includes three LED indicators. An OK LED shows module status. A MOD LED displays module activity. A NET LED indicates DeviceNet communication. Therefore, operators can monitor performance at a glance. Finally, confirm the ambient temperature stays between 0 and 60 degrees Celsius.
