Emerson IC200BEM003-CA VersaMax PROFIBUS DP Master
A VersaMax communication module that gives a supported controller or PROFINET station PROFIBUS DP master capability.
Overview
IC200BEM003-CA is the CA hardware revision of the IC200BEM003 VersaMax PROFIBUS DP Master module. It adds a PROFIBUS master function within the compact VersaMax modular I/O architecture.
The complete revision suffix matters because firmware and host compatibility can change across hardware releases. Preserve the configuration, slave definitions and physical-network records before replacing an installed module.

Features
- Provides PROFIBUS DP master communications in a VersaMax modular station.
- Keeps the network role within the same compact carrier-based I/O family.
- Uses controller engineering software to define slaves, data sizes and diagnostic behavior.
- Retains the CA revision so a quotation does not collapse distinct hardware releases into one generic module.
Applications
- Legacy PROFIBUS remote-I/O and machine-control stations.
- Replacement of an installed IC200BEM003-CA while preserving slave addresses and data mapping.
- Migration projects that must reproduce an existing VersaMax PROFIBUS segment before controller modernization.
Lifecycle
- Export the hardware configuration and PROFIBUS network project before removal.
- Record module revision, host scanner/controller firmware and every slave GSD version.
- Inspect connectors, shielding, termination and station addressing before changing hardware.
- After replacement, compare live slave diagnostics and I/O mapping before releasing automatic control.
FAQ
Which records are needed to quote an exact IC200BEM003-CA replacement?
Send the complete label, CA revision, host controller or scanner model, firmware levels, PROFIBUS project and a slave inventory.
Can a different IC200BEM003 revision replace IC200BEM003-CA without review?
Do not assume so. Confirm hardware and firmware compatibility with the host station and engineering software before changing the suffix.
What usually causes a replacement IC200BEM003-CA to show missing slaves?
Mismatched addresses, GSD revisions, bus termination, cable/shield faults or an incomplete configuration download should be checked before condemning the module.
Which commissioning check for IC200BEM003-CA is more useful than repeating its specifications?
Compare the configured and live slave list, input/output data lengths and diagnostic states against a known-good project backup.
What migration risk should be assessed around IC200BEM003-CA?
A newer controller or PROFINET gateway can change byte ordering, diagnostic handling and update timing, so the PLC and HMI mappings require a controlled validation.
