About the IC200CHS002

The IC200CHS002 is a VersaMax I/O carrier module. The module offers a modular approach because it allows for servicing,

troubleshooting, and replacement of I/O modules without removing existing wiring terminals.

Typically, this carrier module provides installation and field wiring as well as backplane communications for hosted modules.

The module primarily has 36 terminals arranged in two (2) strips labelled A1 through A18 and B1 through B18.

The module is compatible with 32-point I/O modules or high-density I/O devices in the same VersaMax product family.

The module has 4 common/power connections and embeds keying dials that are set to match the designated keying positions of the module hosting the I/O carrier.

The hardware also has carrier mating connectors for quick assembly and connection to the backplane. It also features a module latch hole for locking the hosted IO module into place.

The terminals of the IC200CHS002 are capable of withstanding transient voltages up to 300 VAC.

During normal operation, each terminal is designed for a voltage range of 0-264 VAC and a current rating of 2 amps per terminal and 8 amps per power/common terminal.

Each terminal supports termination of up to 2 wires* with recommended wire sizes from AWG # 14 (average 2.1mm2 cross section)

to AWG #22 (average 0.36mm2 cross section) for single wire connections, AWG #18 (average 0.86mm2 cross section)

Used to connect two (2) wires in a single terminal for terminal shorting.

The GE Fanuc IC200CHS002 carrier is a Versamax series boxed terminal I/O carrier.

Designed for industrial automation applications, Versamax products provide a versatile and flexible I/O structure for local/remote configurations.

There are 3 types of I/O carriers in the Versamax product line, they are Terminal Carriers, Compact Terminal Carriers and Connector I/O Carriers.

The IC200CHS002 carrier has 36 IEC box terminals.The IC200CHS002 carrier provides backplane communications, mounting connections, and field wiring for one I/O module.

The dimensions of the IC200CHS002 carrier are 110.5 x 70 x 139.7 mm.

The terminals on the IC200CHS002 carrier are compatible with solid/stranded copper wire with a cross-sectional area of 0.36 to 2.1 square millimetres, or 86 conductors with a cross-sectional area of 2.0 square millimetres.

Copper wire rated to 194 degrees Fahrenheit is recommended for use with the Versamax IC200CHS002 carrier module.

Recommended terminal torque for the IC200CHS002 bracket is 0.37 to 0.45 pounds per foot.

The IC200CHS002 bracket is supplied with a label that can be inserted into the module’s clear door.

The IC8CHS2 carrier can accommodate current levels of 200 amps per power and ground connection or 002 amps per point.
