The IC200CHS005 serves as the fundamental mounting and wiring base for the VersaMax I/O system. This local, spring-style carrier provides the mechanical housing and electrical interface for a single VersaMax I/O module. Utilizing spring-clamp technology, it ensures gas-tight, vibration-resistant connections for field wiring without the need for periodic torque checks. We offer this unit as 100% Brand New and Original, providing a high-integrity connection point for your mission-critical automation hardware.

Vibration-Proof Spring Clamps: The IC200CHS005 utilizes spring-clamp terminals instead of traditional screws. This design maintains constant pressure on the wire, preventing signal loss or intermittent connections in high-vibration environments typical of heavy machinery or transport applications.
Rapid Wiring Deployment: The spring-style mechanism significantly reduces installation time. Technicians insert wires directly into the clamp, eliminating the labor-intensive process of tightening 36 individual screws and ensuring a uniform connection across all points.
High-Density I/O Management: The carrier supports up to 32 I/O points and includes four additional terminals for power and common distributions. This high-density layout minimizes the number of terminal blocks required in the control cabinet, saving valuable DIN rail space.
Modular Hot-Swap Capability: The carrier separates the field wiring from the active electronic module. This architecture allows maintenance personnel to "hot-swap" the I/O module while leaving the field wiring intact, drastically reducing Mean Time to Repair (MTTR).
Flexible Mounting Design: While optimized for horizontal DIN rail mounting, the carrier also supports direct panel mounting. Its integrated design allows multiple carriers to snap together, forming a continuous internal backplane for power and communication between modules.
What is the difference between the IC200CHS005 and the IC200CHS002?
The IC200CHS005 features spring-clamp terminals, which provide faster wiring and better vibration resistance. The IC200CHS002 uses traditional barrier-style screw terminals. Both are functionally interchangeable regarding module compatibility but differ in wiring methodology.
Do I need special tools to wire the IC200CHS005?
You only need a small flat-head screwdriver to depress the spring-clamp tab. Once depressed, you insert the stripped wire, and the clamp secures it automatically upon release of the tab.
Can I use this carrier for Analog modules?
Yes. The IC200CHS005 supports the full range of VersaMax discrete and analog modules. However, for highly sensitive analog signals, ensure you follow GE Fanuc’s specific grounding and shielding guidelines for the carrier's frame ground.
Is the IC200CHS005 compatible with all VersaMax CPUs?
This carrier is for I/O modules. While it connects to the same backplane system as the CPU, CPUs typically use their own specific power supply or base carriers. Use this module to house your digital/analog inputs and outputs.
