The IC200ERM002 expands the capabilities of any VersaMax PLC or I/O station. GE Fanuc designed this non-isolated expansion receiver module to increase the total number of connected modules, giving you greater system flexibility. This module supports up to 7 racks with 8 modules per rack, significantly extending your I/O capacity without replacing the existing controller.
This expansion module fits seamlessly into the VersaMax product line. It requires an installed power supply to provide energy to all connected devices. If you use an additional power booster carrier, connect it directly to the main power source on the GE Fanuc IC200ERM002. This arrangement ensures stable operation across multiple racks.
The IC200ERM002 offers two operating modes: multi-rack and single-ended. In multi-rack mode, the cable length can reach 50 feet (15 meters). This mode suits distributed I/O installations where racks are spread across a larger area. In single-ended mode, which supports just one expansion rack, the cable length must not exceed 3.3 feet (1 meter). This shorter distance works well for compact setups where all modules sit close together.
Data transfer speed depends on the configuration. The module delivers 5 Mbps in one mode and 2.765 Mbps in the other. These rates ensure fast and reliable communication between the main controller and expansion racks. The module features two 26-pin D-shell expansion female ports for connecting expansion cables.
Power consumption remains low. When the backplane supplies 5 Volts, the module draws 70 mA. At 3.3 Volts, it draws only 20 mA. This efficiency reduces the overall load on your power supply, leaving more capacity for other modules. Additionally, three onboard LED indicators provide clear visual status of the module's operating condition, simplifying diagnostics.
The GE Fanuc IC200ERM002 shares the robust environmental ratings of the VersaMax family. It operates within 0°C to 60°C and stores safely from -40°C to 85°C. Humidity tolerance covers 5% to 95% non-condensing, suitable for most industrial settings.
The module withstands vibration of 1G at 40 to 150 Hz and shock of 15G for 11 milliseconds. These ratings ensure dependable performance in factories with moderate mechanical stress. Its compact footprint fits standard VersaMax carriers, requiring no special mounting hardware.
Installing the IC200ERM002 requires careful planning of your expansion architecture. First, decide between multi-rack or single-ended configuration based on your distance requirements. For multi-rack systems, keep the total cable length under 50 feet. For single-ended systems, limit the cable to 3.3 feet.
Begin by powering down the entire system. Insert the GE Fanuc IC200ERM002 into the designated slot on the main carrier or backplane. Then, connect the expansion cable from the module's 26-pin D-shell port to the corresponding port on the next rack. If you use multiple racks, chain them in sequence, ensuring each segment stays within the length limit.
Next, install a power supply on each expansion rack to power the modules in that rack. If you use a power booster carrier, connect its power input to the main source as specified. After completing all connections, power on the system and check the LED indicators. A steady green light typically signals normal operation, while flashing or colored LEDs indicate specific status conditions. Refer to the user manual for detailed LED interpretation.

1. How many racks can the IC200ERM002 support?
The GE Fanuc IC200ERM002 supports up to 7 racks with 8 modules per rack, giving you a maximum of 56 additional modules in a multi-rack system.
2. What is the maximum cable length for this module?
In multi-rack mode, the total cable length must not exceed 50 feet (15 meters). In single-ended mode (one expansion rack), the limit is 3.3 feet (1 meter).
3. What data transfer speeds does the IC200ERM002 offer?
The module supports 5 Mbps and 2.765 Mbps, depending on the specific configuration. These speeds ensure reliable communication between the main controller and expansion racks.
4. Does this module require an external power supply?
Yes. The GE Fanuc IC200ERM002 needs an installed power supply on each expansion rack to energize connected modules. Additional power booster carriers require connection to the main source.
5. How do I check the module's operating status?
Three onboard LED indicators display the module's status. A steady green light indicates normal operation, while other patterns or colors signal specific conditions. Consult the manual for detailed LED code definitions.
