About the IC800VMACONCN3
The IC800VMACONCN3 is an amplifier serial communications connector that was designed and manufactured by GE Fanuc Automation, a General Electric brand. The IC800VMACONCN3 connector is used to connect to a PC, PLC, controller, or servo drive.
The IC800VMACONCN3 CN3 communication connector can be connected to a wide variety of GE Fanuc Automation products, such as the GE Fanuc Micro PLCs. The GE Fanuc Micro PLCs are easy to use and easy to install programmable controllers with outstanding programming features, especially for its size. The IC800VMACONCN3 is both portable and versatile, which makes it ideal for farm machinery, security systems, vending machines, personal and commercial washing machines, elevators, knitting and sewing machines, and printing machines. As suggested by the name, the GE Fanuc Micro PLCs are lightweight and small, making it easily mountable on a 35 millimeter DIN rail or straight onto a vertical panel. The IC800VMACONCN3 connector connects to devices like the GE Fanuc Micro PLCs and reads the information on them.
The IC800VMACONCN3 connector itself is a 9-pin connector with a built in short circuit protection system that is used whenever operating the servo drive. The communication port provides three serial communication interfaces: RS-422, RS-485, and RS-232. Mostly, the RS-232 is the one that is used but its maximum cable length means that it is limited to that length. For longer distances and multidrop support, the RS-485 cable is a longer cable that allows for multiple drives to be connected simultaneously. In this particular case, an adapter is required to convert voltage and current.
