Description and Features
GFK-2299 VersaMax Expansion I/O Interface Card
1
Introduction
The VersaMax Expansion I/O Interface Card allows the QuickPanel
Control operator interface to control VersaMax remote expansion
rack(s). The VersaMax Expansion I/O Interface Card is used to
connect the QuickPanel Control operator interface to up to seven
VersaMax remote expansion module racks. Each expansion rack
can include up to eight I/O modules.
The communication path consists of a VersaMax Expansion I/O
Interface Card installed in a QuickPanel Control, a GE or user-
supplied cable and mating connectors, and an Expansion receiver
module installed at the head end of each VersaMax remote
expansion module rack.
Configuration of the VersaMax Expansion I/O interface card in the
QuickPanel Control is accomplished using Proficy™ Machine
Edition. For a complete description of the features and capabilities
of the VersaMax Expansion I/O interface card, please refer to the
Proficy Machine Edition on-line help for the card.
A termination plug, IC200ACC201, is included with the card.

Expansion Bus Connector
The 26-pin female D-shell connector on the front of the VersaMax
Expansion I/O Interface Card is the expansion port for connecting to
an Expansion Receiver Module. There are two types of Expansion
Receiver Modules:
 Isolated (IC200ERM001)
 Non-Isolated (IC200ERM002).

Building a Custom Expansion Cable
Custom expansion cables can be built using Connector Kit
IC200ACC202, Crimp tool AMP 90800-1, and AWG #28
(0.089mm2) 8-pair, twisted-pair shielded cable, such as Belden
8138, Manhattan/CDT M2483, Alpha 3498C, or equivalent cable.
Maximum Cable Length
The maximum overall length of the expansion bus depends on type
of Expansion Receivers used and the data rate :
Receiver Type Data Rate Maximum Cable length
Any Non-Isolated Expansion
Receivers (IC200ERM002)
on the bus
5 Mbits/sec(max) 15 meters
250 Kbits/sec
(default data
rate)
750 meters (default
distance)
Isolated Expansion
Receivers (IC200ERM001)
only on the bus
1 Mbits/sec
(configurable) 250 meters
