More Information

Overview Manuals AS-i Network Slave Mapping Integration Applications

Features:

  • Links a VersaMax PLC or I/O station NIU to an AS-i network.
  • Controls as many as 31 addressed actuator-sensor slaves.
  • Maps four input bits and four output bits for every slave address.
The AS-i master centralizes small binary field points that would otherwise require individual home-run wiring to the control cabinet.

A fixed four-bit input and four-bit output allocation per address keeps the cyclic map compact while serving up to 31 distributed nodes.

Successful commissioning relies on unique slave numbers, stable AS-i power, correct polarity, and a host configuration that mirrors the installed segment.
The General Electric IC200BEM104 VersaMax AS-i Master Module may continue to be available with support from Apter Power following End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

All prices are shown in USD.

Actuator-Sensor Bus

  • Master Function: The module controls polling and data exchange on one AS-Interface segment.
  • Station Link: AS-i data reaches a VersaMax PLC or I/O station NIU through the backplane.
  • Field Scope: Compact sensors and actuators share the same two-conductor network.
  • Address Limit: Up to 31 individually addressed slaves can participate on the segment.

Bit Allocation

  • Input Block: Each slave address contributes four bits from the field into the host.
  • Output Block: Four command bits are available from the host to every addressed slave.
  • Map Order: Controller references should preserve the same address sequence used on the network.
  • Unused Bits: Spare positions remain reserved within an address rather than shifting later slaves.

Station Integration

  • Carrier Position: An IC200CHS006 mounts the master beside compatible VersaMax equipment.
  • Backplane Path: The host reads and writes AS-i data through the local station connection.
  • Slave Identity: Duplicate AS-i addresses must be corrected before cyclic exchange can be stable.
  • Power Check: Network voltage and conductor polarity should be verified at the farthest field node.

Distributed Field Uses

  • Conveyors: Photoeyes, position switches, and small actuators can share one AS-i segment.
  • Packaging: Repeated machine stations fit the compact four-input and four-output address pattern.
  • Material Flow: Widely spaced binary devices can be brought into a central VersaMax control map.
  • Machine Cells: AS-i reduces cabinet wiring where many low-data field devices are clustered.
Description
General Electric IC200BEM104 forms the master connection between a VersaMax PLC or networked I/O station and an AS-Interface actuator-sensor segment. It brings compact binary field devices into the controller without assigning a conventional I/O module to every endpoint.

The master manages as many as 31 AS-i slave addresses, with four input bits and four output bits available at each address. That layout suits distributed sensors and actuators whose control data can be represented by small, fixed bit groups.

Installed on a VersaMax communication carrier, General Electric IC200BEM104 passes the slave data through the station backplane. Reliable startup depends on unique slave addressing, correct AS-i power and polarity, and a controller map that follows the physical network arrangement.

Technical notes
General Electric IC200BEM104 controls an AS-Interface segment with up to 31 slave addresses. Each address contributes four input bits and four output bits to the VersaMax map.

FAQS

The following is a list of questions commonly asked by our customers. Please contact us if you have a question about our process that is not answered below.
Why are some AS-i slaves missing from General Electric IC200BEM104?
With General Electric IC200BEM104, inspect slave addressing first because duplicate or unassigned addresses prevent the master from building a complete active-node list.
How should controller bits be organized for General Electric IC200BEM104?
Assign four input bits and four output bits per slave address in the General Electric IC200BEM104 map, preserving address order even when some positions are unused.
Can General Electric IC200BEM104 connect through a VersaMax NIU?
Yes; General Electric IC200BEM104 can link an AS-i segment to either a VersaMax PLC or a supported I/O station network interface unit.
What should be measured when General Electric IC200BEM104 drops distant nodes?
Check AS-i voltage and polarity at the farthest device from General Electric IC200BEM104, then inspect connector integrity, total cable routing, and network loading.
Which carrier is required to install General Electric IC200BEM104?
General Electric IC200BEM104 mounts on an IC200CHS006 Communications Carrier so the master can exchange data with the VersaMax backplane.
How can a General Electric IC200BEM104 change be made without shifting field data?
Preserve the slave-address sequence and the four-bit input/output assignments when configuring General Electric IC200BEM104, then compare live nodes before enabling outputs.
