The GE IC200CHS001 is a high-integrity barrier-style I/O carrier from the VersaMax series, designed to provide both mechanical support and electrical backplane interfacing for single I/O modules. Featuring 36 barrier-style screw terminals, it facilitates secure field wiring and seamless communication between I/O modules and the PLC CPU or network interface unit.
The IC200CHS001 (Part Number IC200CHS001) serves as the foundational mounting base for the GE Fanuc VersaMax modular PLC system. This carrier is specifically engineered for applications requiring barrier-style terminal connections, which offer superior wire retention and electrical separation compared to standard spring-style connectors. Each IC200CHS001 supports one I/O module and provides the critical bus interface that allows the module to receive power and exchange data with the system backplane.
The design supports high-current and high-voltage applications, making it suitable for both AC and DC discrete I/O, as well as analog modules. The barrier terminals are designed to prevent accidental short circuits between adjacent wires, a critical feature in high-vibration industrial environments.
