IC200CHS022L GE Compact I/O

Description

The IC200CHS022L is a box-style I/O carrier that acts as the physical and electrical interface between a VersaMax I/O module and the field wiring of sensors, actuators, and other industrial devices. It is equipped with 36 IEC box-style screw terminals (labeled A1-A18 and B1-B18), designed for robust and secure connections. These terminals can accommodate solid or stranded copper wires ranging from AWG #14 to AWG #22 for single wire connections, or AWG #18 for two-wire connections, offering flexibility for various wiring needs.This carrier module provides the mechanical mounting mechanism, backplane communication pathways, and all field wiring connections for a single VersaMax I/O module, supporting up to 32 I/O points and four common power connections. Its compact design (approximately 66.8 mm x 70 mm x 163.5 mm) makes it ideal for space-constrained installations in control cabinets.

Key Features

Compact Box-Style Design: The IC200CHS022L features a space-saving, compact box-style design. It provides 36 robust IEC box-style screw terminals (A1-A18 and B1-B18) for direct and secure field wiring connections.

VersaMax I/O Module Interface: This carrier is specifically designed to provide the mechanical mounting, backplane communication, and field wiring connections for one VersaMax I/O module. 

Flexible Mounting Options: The module offers dual mounting capabilities: it can easily snap onto a standard 7.5 mm x 35 mm DIN rail for quick installation, or be panel-mounted for maximum resistance to mechanical vibration and shock in demanding industrial automation environments.

Application

Manufacturing: Used in various manufacturing processes for controlling machinery, conveyor systems, assembly lines, and robots.

Packaging: Essential for automated packaging machines, managing sensors for product detection and actuators for sealing, sorting, and labeling.

Material Handling: Employed in systems for automated warehousing, logistics, and material transport, controlling cranes, conveyors, and robotic arms.

Building Automation: In large commercial or industrial buildings, VersaMax can be used for controlling HVAC systems, lighting, security, and access control, integrating various sensors and actuators into a centralized control system.
