GE IC200CHS022 Compact Box-Style I/O Carrier

Part Number IC200CHS022 Manufacturer General Electric Country of Manufacture As Per GE Manufacturing Policy Series Mark VI/VIe Function Module Availability In StockIC200CHS022 is an I/O carrier module developed by General Electric. It is a Versamax series industrial carrier module that has been designed and built. The mounting mechanism, backplane communications and connections, and all field wiring connections for one suitable I/O module with up to 32 inputs or outputs and up to four power connections are all provided by one Versamax carrier module. This carrier module is corrosion resistant and can be readily placed on a DIN rail.

It is grounded for safety and EMC protection. The carrier module is designed to be remote, with dimensions of 66.8 mm x 70 mm x 163.5 mm. The carrier module must be positioned with 1 inch of horizontal spacing and 2 inches of vertical spacing around it to provide appropriate ventilation. 36 IEC box-style terminals are present on the module. It can provide wiring for up to 32 I/O points and four common power connections, as well as backplane communications, mounting, and field wiring for one Input/Output module. Other features of the module include easy-keying dials that aid installation; keys that match the keying at the module's base; male-female connectors that simplify backplane connection installation without the need for additional tools/cables; a module latch hole that secures the module to the carrier; and a foldable printed wiring card that can be inserted in the inbuilt cardholder.

The module easily mounts to a 7.5 mm x 35 mm DIN rail. The DIN rail must be electrically grounded to offer EMC protection. The rail must be finished with a conductive corrosion-resistant finish, preferably one that is not painted.

The carrier must also be panel-mounted for applications demanding the highest mechanical vibration and shock resistance. The cardholder on the IC200CHS022 allows the terminal wiring to pivot. In the holder, you can put the wiring card that came with the I/O module. The cardholder should be dragged back during system operation.
