GE IC200CHS022J – VersaMax Compact Box-Style I/O Carrier Module

In stock

Product Introduction: The IC200CHS022J, designed by GE Intelligent Platforms (now Emerson Automation), is a core wiring and mounting base in the VersaMax PLC system. Serving as a compact I/O carrier, it provides reliable terminal connections, mechanical support, and backplane communication interface for one VersaMax I/O module (digital/analog). It simplifies field wiring, enables hot-swap maintenance, and ensures stable operation of I/O modules in industrial control systems.

Key Features

36 Screw-Terminal Design: Clearly labeled A/B terminals support up to 32 I/O points and 4 power connections, enabling organized field wiring.
Hot-Swappable Support: Allows replacement of the hosted I/O module without disconnecting field wires, reducing downtime and maintenance complexity.
Tool-Free Installation: Integrated male-female backplane connectors and easy-keying dials ensure quick, secure mating with VersaMax I/O modules; a module latch hole locks the module in place.
Foldable Wiring Card Holder: Built-in holder stores the I/O module’s wiring card for on-site reference, simplifying troubleshooting and wiring verification.
Robust Electrical Ratings: Withstands 264 VAC continuous voltage and 300 VAC transients; 2A per terminal/8A per power segment supports high-current field devices.
Compact & Durable Construction: Standard VersaMax form factor saves cabinet space; rugged housing tolerates harsh industrial environments (temperature/humidity fluctuations).
EMC Protection: Designed to minimize electromagnetic interference, ensuring signal integrity in electrically noisy industrial settings.
