Features:
- IC200CPU005 provides 128 kB of configurable memory for VersaMax control programs.
- Two embedded ports support RS-232 and RS-485 serial connections.
- The CPU manages as many as 64 modules and 2048 I/O points.
The larger memory space accommodates logic, registers, and configurable analog data within one compact controller.
Separate electrical interfaces let a project connect point-to-point devices through RS-232 and multidrop equipment through RS-485.
Local and expansion I/O can be organized under one VersaMax controller while the installed module count remains inside the supported system limit.
The General Electric IC200CPU005 VersaMax CPU Module may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

Program resources and execution behavior
- Memory Allocation: The 128 kB configurable space can be divided among logic, registers, and analog data areas.
- Retentive Storage: System flash and battery-backed RAM preserve the project across planned power interruptions.
- Language Support: Ladder Diagram, Sequential Function Chart, and Instruction List address different control tasks.
- Numeric Processing: Floating-point functions support calculations that require real-number values.
Port roles and communication planning
- Port 1: The 9-pin RS-232 interface suits direct links whose cable length follows the selected data rate.
- Port 2: The RS-485 connection supports longer runs and two-wire or four-wire RTU arrangements.
- Mode Selection: Each port can be assigned to supported SNP slave, RTU, or Serial I/O operation in software.
- Stop Behavior: Ports configured for Serial I/O revert to SNP slave when the controller enters Stop mode.
Backplane planning and station growth
- Supply Choice: An expanded 3.3 V VersaMax power supply is required for the CPU's backplane demand.
- Current Budget: Allow 35 mA at 5 V and 300 mA at 3.3 V before adding accessory loads.
- Module Count: The control station can extend to 64 modules when rack and power limits are respected.
- I/O Scale: The architecture supports up to 2048 points distributed across the configured VersaMax station.
Control roles suited to this CPU
- Machine Sequences: Local logic can coordinate discrete and analog devices in compact equipment.
- Serial Integration: Embedded interfaces connect RTU or SNP devices without a separate serial module.
- Distributed I/O: Expansion capability supports machines whose field points span several rack sections.
- Process Calculations: Floating-point operations suit control routines that use scaled engineering values.
