Product Overview

The 100% Brand New GE IC200CHS022L provides the mounting base and field wiring interface for one VersaMax I/O module. It features 36 IEC box-style screw terminals (A1-A18, B1-B18) for direct termination of sensors and actuators. The carrier supports up to 32 I/O points and 4 common power connections, snapping onto 35mm DIN rails or panel mounting.

Engineering Advantages

•  

  Simplifies Module Replacement: The carrier retains field wiring when technicians remove the I/O module. This allows live replacement (RIUP) of the electronic module without unterminating dozens of field wires, drastically reducing MTTR.

   

•  

  Handles High Voltage/Current: The 264VAC rating and 2A per point support direct connection of 120/240VAC discrete devices (like motors or solenoids) without intermediate relays or marshalling terminals.

   

•  

  Secures Connections: Screw terminals provide high clamping force for solid or stranded copper wires. This resists loosening from vibration in heavy industrial environments better than some spring-cage alternatives.

   

•  

  Organized Wiring: Labeled terminals (A1-A18, B1-B18) and grouped strips align with standard VersaMax I/O module pinouts. This creates a logical wiring layout that electricians follow easily during installation and troubleshooting.

   

FAQs

•  

  Does this carrier require a backplane cable?

  No. The IC200CHS022L interfaces directly with the I/O module via a male/female connector on the top of the carrier. It does not use the 36-pin D-sub cable required by the IC200CHS003 connector-style carrier.

   

•  

  Can I use this with Analog modules?

  Yes. The carrier supports most VersaMax I/O modules, including analog (ALG) and discrete (MDL) types, provided they fit the compact form factor and pinout. Avoid using it with modules requiring special isolation (check specific module manual).

   

•  

  What is the difference between IC200CHS022L and IC200CHS002?

  The IC200CHS022L is the "Compact" version, generally shorter in depth (approx 7cm vs 14cm) to save panel space. Electrically, they function similarly with 36 screw terminals, but verify physical clearance in your enclosure.

   

•  

  Does the carrier provide 24VDC power?

  No. The carrier routes field power from the terminals to the module. You must supply external 24VDC (or other voltage) to the appropriate power terminals on the carrier for the I/O loops.
