The IC200CHS022 acts as the primary mounting and wiring interface for the GE VersaMax modular system. Unlike standard horizontal units, this carrier utilizes a Vertical Orientation, mounting perpendicular to the DIN rail to maximize rail density and accommodate tall enclosure profiles. We supply this unit as 100% Brand New and Original in factory packaging, ensuring seamless integration into your distributed control systems (DCS) or OEM machinery.

Vertical Space Optimization: The vertical design reduces the horizontal footprint on the DIN rail. This allows engineers to pack more I/O points into narrow control cabinets where width is at a premium.
Tool-less Expansion: Integrated carrier-to-carrier connectors link the backplane signals automatically as you slide the units together. This eliminates the need for external ribbon cables or complex bus jumpers.
Integrated Keying Mechanism: Each carrier includes a module keying system. This prevents the insertion of the wrong I/O module type into a wired base, protecting field sensors and internal circuitry from voltage mismatches.
Superior Vibration Resistance: The IEC-style box terminals provide high-pressure contact points. These terminals grip field wires securely, preventing intermittent signals in high-vibration applications like reciprocating machinery or mobile industrial platforms.
Simplified EMC Grounding: The carrier grounds directly through the DIN rail interface. This ensures robust electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) without requiring additional manual grounding straps for every module.
Can I mix IC200CHS022 vertical carriers with horizontal carriers in the same rack?
No. The physical dimensions and bus connector alignments differ. You must maintain a consistent mounting orientation (all vertical or all horizontal) within a single I/O station to ensure proper backplane communication.
What is the maximum wire gauge supported by the box terminals?
The IC200CHS022 typically accommodates solid or stranded copper wire between AWG #14 and AWG #22. Always refer to your specific I/O module manual for the recommended current-carrying capacity of the wire.
Does this carrier require a separate power supply connection?
The carrier receives its 5V logic power via the VersaMax backplane from the Power Supply/NIU. However, you must connect field power and commons to the designated terminals (usually 4 of the 36) to power your field devices.
How do I ensure the carrier is properly grounded?
The carrier establishes a ground connection through its DIN rail clip. You must use a zinc-plated yellow chromate steel DIN rail and ensure the rail itself connects to the cabinet's functional earth.
