Description

Product Description

The IC200CPUE05 is an advanced CPU module in the GE Fanuc (Emerson) VersaMax family, integrating high-speed processing with built-in Ethernet connectivity. It is designed for mid-level automation systems that require deterministic control, network communication, and scalable I/O expansion within a compact PLC architecture.

This processor combines logic execution, communication services, and memory management into a single unit, making it suitable for distributed control systems, machine automation, and plant-level integration where Ethernet-based data exchange is required.

Processing Capability and Memory Architecture

• Configurable user memory: 128 KB (application logic, registers, and analog data areas)

• Execution performance: 0.8 ms per 1K Boolean instructions

• Floating-point operations: Supported

• Auto-configuration: Supported for system setup

The CPU uses non-volatile flash memory for firmware and application storage, complemented by battery-backed RAM for runtime data retention.

I/O Expansion and System Capacity

• Maximum supported I/O modules: 64

• Discrete Inputs: 2048 points

• Discrete Outputs: 2048 points

FAQ

Q: Does this CPU support Ethernet-based communication protocols?
A: Yes. It supports SRTP, EGD, UDP communication, and time synchronization via NTP, enabling integration into industrial Ethernet networks.

Q: What happens if power is lost?
A: The supercapacitor maintains memory temporarily (up to 1 hour), while the battery preserves program and data for extended periods.

Q: How does this model compare to IC200CPU002?
A: The IC200CPUE05 offers significantly higher memory (128 KB vs 42 KB), faster execution, and built-in Ethernet, making it more suitable for networked and complex systems.
