Configured for module housing in VersaMax control networks, the GE Fanuc IC200CHS001A (IC200CHS001A Carrier Module) provides direct physical/electrical execution. This component serves as the structural foundation for the VersaMax I/O platform, facilitating backplane signal routing and field power distribution to a maximum of three I/O modules.
Suffix Breakdown & Model Matrix
The IC200CHS001A represents the standard 3-position terminal carrier assembly. The "A" suffix denotes the initial hardware revision, providing the mechanical interface and backplane interconnect architecture required for standard VersaMax I/O modules.

Profinet / EtherNet/IP Deterministic Networks
The IC200CHS001A facilitates deterministic backplane bus communication by providing the physical interconnects between the I/O modules and the CPU or network interface unit. The carrier supports the high-speed data transfer required for I/O density scaling within the rack. Compatibility with deterministic networks is maintained through the robust alignment of the backplane bus connectors, which prevents signal impedance mismatches during high-velocity data transmission across the internal bus.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can the terminal blocks be removed while the system is powered?
A: While the terminal blocks are removable, it is recommended to disconnect field power before removal to prevent potential short circuits or unintended energization of field devices during re-insertion.
Q: How is the backplane power connected to this carrier?
A: Power is distributed to the modules via the integrated backplane, which receives 5 VDC and 24 VDC inputs directly from the designated power supply terminals located on the carrier assembly.
Field Installation Guidelines
- Mount the carrier on a 35 mm DIN rail or directly to a panel using appropriate hardware; ensure the unit is level to prevent stress on the backplane connectors.
- When wiring the terminal blocks, use wire sizes between 22 and 14 AWG to ensure proper fit and contact integrity within the pressure-plate terminals.
- Tighten all terminal screws to a torque of 0.5 Nm (4.4 lb-in) to maintain secure electrical connections and prevent thermal degradation due to high resistance.
- Ensure that the carrier interlock mechanism is fully engaged with adjacent carriers to provide structural stability and backplane alignment across the rack assembly.
- Keep communication cables separated from high-current power distribution wires to minimize electromagnetic coupling into the backplane bus signals.
