The Emerson Automation IC200PNS001 is a Profinet network interface unit from the VersaMax series, originally developed under GE Intelligent Platforms (GE IP). It is designed to enable distributed I/O architecture by providing efficient communication between VersaMax I/O modules and Profinet-based controllers. The unit supports data exchange of up to 2880 bytes for discrete I/O and 2880 bytes for analog I/O over a Profinet network operating at 10/100 Mbps, with a maximum segment distance of 100 meters. Fully compliant with Profinet Slave Version 2.2 Class A I/O specifications, the IC200PNS001 ensures compatibility with a wide range of industrial control systems. It features two RJ45 Ethernet ports that support linear, daisy-chain, and star network topologies, allowing flexible and scalable system design. This module could potentially be implemented across North America, Europe, Asia, and other industrial regions where Emerson VersaMax systems are used for high-performance, distributed Profinet-based automation.
