Features:
- Controls a VersaMax station containing as many as 64 modules.
- Provides a 42K-byte configurable memory pool for application resources.
- Shows CPU, force, and serial activity through seven front indicators.
General Electric IC200CPU002 addresses control systems whose application, register, and analog-data requirements benefit from more configurable memory than the CPU001 model provides.
A local operating-mode switch supports run and stop control at the cabinet and can be configured to restrict unintended edits to memory or forced variables.
Two independent serial interfaces support SNP Slave, RTU Slave, and Serial I/O operation while keeping the RS-232 and RS-485 electrical connections distinct.
The General Electric IC200CPU002 VersaMax 42K Configurable Memory CPU may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

Configurable Memory Allocation
- Total Pool: The CPU supplies up to 42K bytes of configurable memory.
- Project Share: Program and hardware-configuration files consume space according to their downloaded size.
- Data Areas: Remaining capacity can be assigned to %R, %AI, and %AQ tables.
- Reallocation: Changing the configured distribution clears data in the affected memory areas.
Communication Port Modes
- RS-232 Channel: Port 1 uses a 9-pin female connector for point-to-point serial communication.
- RS-485 Channel: Port 2 uses a 15-pin female connector and can power selected low-current accessories.
- Default State: Both channels start in SNP Slave mode unless the project assigns another supported mode.
- Stop Behavior: A Serial I/O port changes to SNP Slave while the CPU is stopped.
Run and Fault Control
- Mode Switch: The front switch provides local access to run and stop commands.
- Write Protection: Switch configuration can block memory writes and discrete forcing.
- Self-Test View: OK flash patterns indicate startup testing or I/O configuration progress.
- Fault Response: RUN and FAULT states distinguish normal scanning from stop/fault operation.
Application Considerations
- Larger Projects: The 42K allocation suits VersaMax programs needing additional logic or data capacity.
- Multi-Module Control: A maximum of 64 modules supports broader modular-machine architectures.
- Commissioning: Local mode control and front diagnostics aid staged startup at the panel.
- Legacy Serial Links: Dual physical standards accommodate separate RS-232 and RS-485 device networks.
