Expansion Transmitter Module
The Expansion Transmitter Module IC200ETM001 (ETM) is used to expand a
VersaMax PLC or Network Interface Unit (NIU) I/O station to include up to
seven additional “racks” of VersaMax modules. Each expansion rack can
include up to eight I/O and specialty modules, including the fieldbus
communications modules.
The Expansion Transmitter Module has a pass-though serial programming port
that can be used to upload firmware updates to an adjacent NIU.
