GE IC200CHS022 – VersaMax Compact Box-Style I/O Carrier Module

In stock

Product Introduction: The IC200CHS022, designed by GE Fanuc (now Emerson Automation), is a compact I/O carrier in the VersaMax PLC series. It serves as a mechanical and electrical base, providing mounting, backplane communication, and field wiring connections for one VersaMax I/O module. It integrates 36 IEC box-style screw terminals for reliable field device connections, acting as a critical interface between the PLC system and external sensors/actuators in industrial automation.
