Description
GE IC200CHS002B I/O Base
Product Dimensions:
The GE IC200CHS002B is an I/O Carrier module from the VersaMax series, originally developed by GE Intelligent Platforms (now part of Emerson). This specific carrier is a Compact I/O Carrier designed to provide a physical and electrical interface between VersaMax I/O modules and the backplane.
Product Detailed Description
The IC200CHS002B serves as a mounting base for VersaMax I/O modules. It features a compact design with 36 terminal points for field wiring. Unlike the “barrier-style” carriers, the compact carrier uses a smaller footprint, making it ideal for installations where panel space is at a premium. It supports both “hot-swapping” of modules (with a compatible power supply) and vertical or horizontal DIN rail mounting.
Technical Parameters

Product Advantages
- Space Optimization: The compact design allows for higher density I/O configurations, which is critical for reducing the size of control cabinets.
- Modular Flexibility: Because the wiring is connected to the carrier rather than the I/O module itself, the I/O modules can be replaced without disturbing the field wiring.
- Rugged Connectivity: The box-style terminals provide a secure, vibration-resistant connection for field wires, ensuring long-term reliability in industrial environments.
- Ease of Installation: Features a simple “click-in” mechanism for DIN rail mounting and clear labeling areas for wire identification.
Important Considerations (Precautions)
- Current Limits: Pay close attention to the 8A maximum current limit per carrier. Exceeding this total current across all 36 points can lead to overheating of the carrier backplane.
- Module Compatibility: While it supports most VersaMax I/O modules, always verify that the specific module’s power and thermal requirements are compatible with the compact carrier format.
- Torque Settings: To ensure a reliable connection, terminals should be tightened to the manufacturer’s recommended torque (typically around 0.5 Nm or 4.4 in-lb).
- Keying: Ensure the plastic keying dials on the carrier match the I/O module type to prevent the accidental insertion of the wrong module type into the base.
Product Applications
The IC200CHS002B is used anywhere the VersaMax PLC or distributed I/O system is deployed:
- Machine Control: Ideal for small-to-medium-sized machines where internal control panel space is limited.
- Distributed I/O: Used in remote I/O stations linked via Profibus, Ethernet, or DeviceNet to a main controller.
- HVAC Systems: Monitoring sensors and controlling actuators in large-scale building automation.
- Water Treatment: Interfacing with flow meters, level sensors, and pump starters in compact control skids.
