Compatible Replacement & Equivalent Models
When the IC200ETM001 is discontinued, obsolete, or unavailable, the following models may serve as functional equivalents or drop-in replacements depending on your system configuration:
- IC200ETM001B – Revised hardware revision of the same module; functionally identical, direct replacement
- IC200ETM001C – Later revision with minor firmware updates; backward compatible
- IC200CHS022 – VersaMax expansion carrier; used in conjunction with ETM for rack expansion
- IC200ETM002 – Alternative expansion transmitter for different rack configurations (verify compatibility)
- Emerson VersaMax ETM Series – Post-GE acquisition equivalents under Emerson branding
Note: Always verify firmware version, carrier compatibility, and rack configuration before substituting modules. Contact Konmask.com for pre-sales compatibility verification.

Selection Guide
Use the following criteria to confirm the IC200ETM001 is the correct module for your application:
- Step 1 – Identify your CPU carrier: Confirm your CPU carrier supports the VersaMax Expansion Bus (ETM slot present)
- Step 2 – Count expansion racks: IC200ETM001 supports connection to one expansion rack via a paired IC200ERM001/002 receiver
- Step 3 – Check cable distance: Verify the expansion bus cable length does not exceed the rated maximum for your installation
- Step 4 – Confirm power budget: Ensure the CPU carrier’s 5 VDC backplane can supply the additional module load
- Step 5 – Firmware alignment: Match firmware revision with your CPU and I/O modules to avoid compatibility issues

Replacement & Compatibility FAQ
Q: Can IC200ETM001B replace IC200ETM001 directly?
A: Yes. The B revision is a hardware update with identical electrical and functional specifications. It is a direct drop-in replacement.
Q: Is IC200ETM001 compatible with PACSystems RX3i?
A: No. The IC200ETM001 is designed exclusively for the VersaMax platform. PACSystems RX3i uses a different backplane and expansion architecture.
Q: Can I use a third-party expansion transmitter as a replacement?
A: Third-party alternatives are not recommended due to the proprietary nature of the VersaMax Expansion Bus. Use OEM or OEM-equivalent modules only.
Q: What is the maximum number of expansion racks supported?
A: One IC200ETM001 supports one expansion rack. For multiple racks, additional ETM/ERM pairs and appropriate CPU support are required.
Q: Do you provide a warranty on used or refurbished units?
A: Yes. All units, including tested surplus, carry a 12-month warranty. Condition is clearly stated on the product listing.
