IC200CHS022 Compact I/O carrier module GE

The IC200CHS022 is a carrier module from the VersaMax product family that is manufactured by Emerson Automation This module is combined with VersaMax I/O modules, providing wiring terminals for termination of input and output devices, depending on the module type installed.

The IC200CHS022 may also be referred to as a terminal base. It features 36 screw type terminals that are designed to accommodate Solid or stranded copper ranging AWG # 14 to AWG #22 for single wire connection and AWG #18 for Two (2) wire connection in a single terminal for implementing terminal shorting. The carrier’s terminal are labeled A1 – A18 and B1-B18 for proper grouping. Each terminal is rated 0-264 VAC, 2 Amperes per terminal and 8 Amperes per ground and power segment. Each terminals are also designed to withstand up to 300 VAC transient voltage.

The IC200CHS022 provides flexibility and modularity as it allows hosted VersaMax I/O modules to be replaced or serviced without the need of removing the existing wiring connections to the carrier modules. With this, troubleshooting time is significantly reduced especially control system or module downtime. This carrier module also provides the mounting assembly such as the DIN slot or panel mounting tabs to fix the carrier module into place along the partner I/O module.

The IC200CHS022 is provided with a card holder that hinges down over the terminal wiring. It also has a card holder which locks the I/O module into place. During operation, this card holder must be in the retracted orientation.

The GE Fanuc IC200CHS022 carrier is a Versamax series compact box-style I/O carrier. The IC200CHS022 carrier includes 36 IEC box-style terminals. This module provides field wiring, mounting, and backplane communications for one Versamax I/O module which mounts vertically on the IC200CHS022 carrier. The dimensions of the IC200CHS022 carrier are 66.8 x 70 x 163.5 millimeters. The IC200CHS022 carrier has a built-in card holder which hinges down over the terminal wiring. A wiring card is provided with the module and it can be inserted in this card holder. The card holder should be in the retracted position while the system is in operation. Each terminal on the IC200CHS022 carrier can accommodate a single wire or 2 wires. Copper wire which is stranded or solid can be used for termination wiring.

Single copper wire used for termination can have a 0.36 mm2 to 2.1 square millimeters cross section. Two copper wires used for termination can have up to 0.86 square millimeters cross section. Each point on the IC200CHS022 carrier is rated for up to 2 Amps of current. Each power and ground connection on the IC200CHS022 carrier is rated for up to 8 Amps of current. The points and power/ground connections on the IC200CHS022 carrier are rated for up to 264 Volts AC and they can sustain voltage transients of up to 300 Volts AC. The IC200CHS022 carrier is designed for mounting on a DIN rail measuring 7.5 x 35 millimeters. One inch of horizontal spacing and 2 inches of vertical spacing should be provided around the mounted module. For optimal performance, the ambient temperature around the working IC200CHS022 carrier must be between 0 and 60 degrees Celsius.
