GE D20 EME210BASE-T Ethernet Module
Product Overview：GE D20 EME210BASE-T
The GE D20 EME210BASE-T is a high-performance Ethernet Communication Module designed for industrial automation systems, serving as a critical interface for connecting GE’s Series 90-30/70 PLCs and other legacy devices to modern Ethernet networks. As part of GE’s Data Highway Plus (DH+) to Ethernet migration solutions, this module bridges the gap between proprietary industrial protocols and open Ethernet standards, enabling seamless integration of legacy systems with contemporary SCADA, MES, or cloud-based platforms. The EME210BASE-T supports protocols such as Modbus TCP, Ethernet/IP, and GE’s native DH+ protocol, making it ideal for retrofitting older control systems in manufacturing, power, and infrastructure sectors.
Featuring a rugged design with industrial-grade components, the GE D20 EME210BASE-T ensures reliable data transmission in harsh environments with temperatures ranging from -40°C to +85°C and resistance to vibration (3 g) and shock (15 g). Its dual-port Ethernet switch (10/100 Mbps) supports ring or linear network topologies, enhancing redundancy and fault tolerance in distributed control systems. The module’s plug-and-play functionality reduces installation complexity, while web-based configuration tools (e.g., GE’s Proficy Machine Edition) enable intuitive setup of IP addresses, protocols, and data mapping.
In industrial ecosystems, the EME210BASE-T plays a pivotal role in modernizing legacy automation infrastructure. By converting DH+ signals to Ethernet, it allows real-time data monitoring, remote diagnostics, and software updates for GE PLCs, extending their operational lifespan without costly system overhauls. This module’s ability to handle high-speed data transfers (up to 100 Mbps) and support multiple concurrent connections makes it indispensable for industries seeking to adopt Industry 4.0 principles while maintaining compatibility with existing equipment.
