CONTROL CORE / CPU005-CE
01 / Processing & Memory
IC200CPU005-CE provides 128 KB of configurable memory for the application program, hardware configuration, registers, analog input and analog output areas. Program storage uses system Flash together with battery-backed RAM.
The CPU supports floating-point operation and delivers a typical Boolean execution speed of 0.8 ms/K, making it suitable for compact machine-control and distributed I/O applications.
02 / Modular Architecture
The CPU is designed as the controller for a VersaMax modular system and can support up to 64 modules with as many as 2,048 I/O points. Autoconfiguration or programmer-based configuration can be used according to the application.
Its compact DIN-rail form is approximately 106.7 mm wide, 128 mm long and 69.1 mm deep.
03 / Serial Communication
Port 1 provides RS-232 communication and Port 2 provides RS-485 communication. The CPU supports SNP slave and RTU slave communication functions, while the CE revision adds support for 32-bit Modbus register data and improved serial communication throughput.
04 / Revision Advantage
The CE revision corresponds to firmware version 2.34. Compared with earlier CPU005 revisions, it brings the 128 KB configurable memory level, 32-bit Modbus register support, an updated PID function block and higher serial communication throughput.

Selection point: IC200CPU005-CE is not simply a smaller version of an RX3i CPU. Its value is the compact VersaMax architecture, dual serial interfaces and 128 KB configurable memory. For an existing VersaMax installation, retaining the correct CPU005 revision can be more practical than moving to a substantially different RX3i architecture.

BUYER DECISION POINTS
IC200CPU005-CE — FAQ
Q1. Can IC200CPU005-CE be selected when a project specifically requires the 128 KB CPU005 memory level?
Yes. The CE revision is the 128 KB configurable-memory CPU005 revision. This is an important distinction when replacing an earlier CPU005 version that used a smaller configurable-memory level.
Q2. Why does IC200CPU005-CE make sense for a legacy VersaMax serial-control installation?
The CPU has both RS-232 and RS-485 interfaces and supports SNP slave and RTU slave communication. The CE revision also supports 32-bit Modbus register data, making the exact revision relevant when serial communication behavior matters.
Q3. What system size is IC200CPU005-CE intended to control?
The CPU005 family is designed to act as the controller for up to 64 modules and up to 2,048 I/O points. Actual system configuration still depends on the selected VersaMax modules and power architecture.
Q4. Does IC200CPU005-CE offer a meaningful advantage over an earlier CPU005 revision?
For applications requiring the CE feature set, yes. The 2.34 firmware revision combines 128 KB configurable memory with 32-bit Modbus register support, an updated PID function block and higher serial communication throughput.
Q5. What should be checked before replacing an installed IC200CPU005 with IC200CPU005-CE?
Confirm the complete CPU designation, firmware-dependent application requirements, memory allocation, both serial-port settings, installed I/O topology and backup status before controlled restart. The replacement should match the existing VersaMax architecture rather than only the base CPU number.
