GE IC200CHS002 – VersaMax Box‑Style I/O Carrier

In stock

Product Introduction:

The IC200CHS002 is a compact, box‑style I/O carrier from the GE Fanuc (now Emerson Automation) VersaMax series. It serves as a mechanical and electrical base that provides backplane communication, secure mounting, and field wiring termination for one VersaMax I/O module (analog or digital). Designed for high‑density, space‑saving installations, it bridges the PLC system and field devices in industrial automation.
