MeloAuto-Trusted PLC & DCS Parts Supplier
The GE IC200CHS111A provides signal conditioning between PLCs and field devices. You can install this module directly into any VersaMax I/O rack slot. It isolates low-power PLC outputs from high-current industrial loads. This unit suits motor starters, solenoids, and indicator lamps.
Technical Specifications and Hardware Layout
This interposing relay module measures 110 mm in height. Its width reaches 40 mm, and the depth equals 68 mm. The GE IC200CHS111A weighs approximately 0.24 kilograms. A single internal PCB holds eight relay drivers and suppression circuits. The module contains no energy storage capacitors or batteries. One 20-pin removable terminal block handles all field wiring connections. Eight green LEDs display the status of each relay channel.

Input and Output Specifications
The GE IC200CHS111A accepts 24 V DC input signals from PLC outputs. Each channel draws a typical input current of 12 mA at 24 V DC. The relay outputs switch 2 A at 250 V AC or 30 V DC maximum. Each relay includes an internal suppression diode for DC inductive loads. Consequently, this module protects sensitive PLC outputs from voltage spikes. Response time from input activation to relay closure stays below 5 milliseconds. Optical isolation separates the input side from the output contacts. All eight channels share a common input return and common output terminal.
Installation and Practical Application Tips
You must snap this module firmly into a VersaMax I/O rack slot. Transitioning to wiring, use 0.5 mm² to 1.5 mm² stranded copper wire. The removable terminal block allows easy replacement without rewiring. For AC inductive loads, attach external RC snubbers across the relay contacts. The operating temperature range extends from -20°C to +60°C reliably. This module consumes only 40 mA from the backplane bus.
