GE Fanuc IC200CHS001A VersaMax I/O Carrier
The GE Fanuc IC200CHS001A, also cataloged as the IC200CHS001 I/O Carrier, operates as a dedicated hardware component for mechanical housing and electrical signal routing within VersaMax PLC platforms. The carrier establishes backplane power distribution and provides physical field wiring terminations via barrier-style terminals for installed VersaMax I/O modules.

Backplane Bus Communication Velocity & Firmware Flash Integration
The carrier structure routes high-speed backplane signals directly between adjacent VersaMax modules, preserving backplane bus communication velocity across expanded rack configurations. Internal bus connectors route logic power and control signals without signal attenuation, maintaining firmware flash compatibility across installed digital, analog, and specialty modules.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What wire gauge and torque limits apply to the barrier terminals?
A: The carrier accepts 22 AWG solid or stranded copper conductors, which require a terminal tightening torque between 0.37 and 0.5 ft-lbs.
Q: What is the maximum current rating for field wiring terminals?
A: Individual I/O points support up to 2 A maximum, while common power distribution connections support up to 8 A maximum.
Q: Does the carrier require separate backplane power supplies?
A: Logic power for internal bus routing is drawn directly from the primary 5 VDC backplane rail provided by the local power supply module.
Field Installation Guidelines
- Secure the carrier horizontally onto a standard 7.5 mm x 35 mm DIN rail or directly to a panel subplate using mounting screws.
- Strip 22 AWG copper field wires and fasten them securely under the barrier-style screw terminals, tightening each screw to a torque of 0.37 to 0.5 ft-lbs.
- Route high-voltage AC conductors separately from low-voltage DC lines to avoid cross-talk and electromagnetic interference.
- Ground the carrier enclosure and DIN rail to a central earth ground bus bar before applying operational field power.
