GE IC200MDL940 – VersaMax 16-Point Form A Relay Output Module

In stock

Product Introduction: The IC200MDL940, manufactured by General Electric (GE Fanuc, now Emerson Automation), is a high-density electromechanical relay output module in the VersaMax I/O series. It provides 16 Form A (normally open) relay contacts to switch external AC/DC loads, serving as a critical interface between PLC control logic and high-power field devices. Designed for rugged industrial use, it offers channel-to-channel and group isolation, hot-swappable capability, and compatibility with standard VersaMax bases, ensuring reliable on/off control in diverse automation systems.

Key Features

16-Channel High-Density Output: Maximizes I/O capacity in compact cabinets, reducing system cost and wiring complexity.
Form A Relay Contacts: Supports normally open (NO) switching for versatile load control (motors, solenoids, lamps, contactors).
Full Electrical Isolation: Individual channel isolation prevents cross-talk and protects PLC backplane from field voltage spikes and noise.
LED Diagnostic Indicators:
- Channel LEDs: Green logic-side LEDs show real-time on/off status for each output.
- OK LED: Green LED lights when backplane power is active and module is operational.
Hot-Swappable Design: Enables module replacement without shutting down the entire system, minimizing downtime.
Removable Terminal Blocks: Simplifies field wiring and maintenance, reducing installation time.
Wide Load Compatibility: Switches both AC and DC loads with broad voltage ranges, suitable for multi-vendor field devices.
Rugged Construction: Withstands harsh industrial environments (temperature, humidity, electrical interference).
