GE IC200EBI001 – VersaMax Ethernet Network Interface Unit (ENIU)

In stock

Product Introduction

The IC200EBI001, designed by GE Fanuc and now under Emerson Automation, is a high-performance Ethernet Network Interface Unit (ENIU) in the VersaMax PLC series. It functions as an Ethernet slave module, acting as a controller for a set of I/O modules to implement distributed I/O architecture. It enables seamless communication between VersaMax I/O systems and Ethernet-based controllers, supporting real-time data exchange, diagnostics, and remote monitoring in industrial automation environments.
