GE IC200CHS022D | Compact I/O Carrier

The GE IC200CHS022D provides physical mounting and backplane connectivity for VersaMax I/O modules. This compact carrier module accepts 2 I/O modules for space-constrained automation applications. It distributes 5 V DC and 24 V DC power to the installed modules. Weighing only 0.18 kg, the GE IC200CHS022D mounts easily on a DIN rail. Its dimensions measure 55 mm x 90 mm x 65 mm.

Slot Configuration and Backplane Features

The GE IC200CHS022D features 2 module slots arranged vertically for compact system design. Each slot includes a 48-pin connector for signal and power transmission. The backplane provides automatic addressing for plug-and-play module installation. Moreover, the GE IC200CHS022D includes keying features to prevent incorrect module insertion. Consequently, you can mix input and output modules without configuration switches.

Power Distribution and Energy Storage

The GE IC200CHS022D distributes 5 V DC at 1 A and 24 V DC at 0.5 A to both slots. This carrier module includes filter capacitors for noise reduction on the power rails. It draws 20 mA from the 5 V DC backplane supply for its logic circuits. The GE IC200CHS022D contains no battery for completely maintenance-free operation. Therefore, you never need to replace batteries or worry about carrier failure.

Compatible Modules and Installation Details

The GE IC200CHS022D works with any VersaMax I/O module from the IC200 series. This includes discrete input modules, discrete output modules, and analog I/O modules. Snap the carrier module onto a standard 35 mm DIN rail until the clip locks securely. Connect the power supply to the designated terminals on the bottom of the carrier. The GE IC200CHS022D requires an external 24 V DC power supply for field I/O power distribution. Install I/O modules by sliding them into the slot until the connector fully seats. This compact carrier suits small automation systems with limited I/O requirements. It also works perfectly for distributed I/O applications where space is critical. Thus, the GE IC200CHS022D provides a compact platform for reliable industrial control in tight enclosures.
