Product Description

The IC200CHS022 is a compact, 36-terminal carrier designed to support one VersaMax I/O module. It provides the physical mounting structure and the electrical interface (backplane) for the module, while also serving as the termination point for field wiring. Unlike the “extended” versions, the compact carrier is designed to minimize footprint in tight control panels.

Product Parameters

Product Advantages

• Space Efficiency: The compact design reduces the overall width of the I/O station, allowing for more modules in a smaller enclosure.

• Ease of Maintenance: Features a hot-swappable design that allows I/O modules to be plugged in or removed without disconnecting field wiring.

• Simplified Wiring: The box-style terminals securely hold wires and are clearly numbered for easy identification during installation.

• Rugged Construction: Built to withstand industrial vibrations and harsh environments, ensuring a stable connection between the module and the backplane.

• Keying Mechanism: Includes a mechanical keying system to prevent the wrong type of module from being inserted into the carrier.

Precautions

• Torque Settings: Do not over-tighten the terminal screws. Use the manufacturer-recommended torque (typically $0.5$ to $0.6$ Nm) to avoid stripping the threads.

• Backplane Connection: Ensure the plastic connector covers are removed only when connecting to an adjacent carrier to prevent dust or debris from entering the backplane bus.

• Module Seating: Always ensure the I/O module is fully seated and the latches are clicked into place before applying power.

• Current Limits: Ensure the total current passing through the carrier does not exceed the 2-Amp per terminal limit to prevent overheating.

Product Applications

• Distributed I/O Systems: Used as the base for various VersaMax modules (Analog, Digital, or Specialty) in remote locations.

• Control Panels: Ideal for high-density control cabinets where DIN rail space is at a premium.

• PLC Upgrades: Used in upgrading legacy systems to the VersaMax platform for improved modularity.

• Machine Control: Provides reliable field-side connections for sensors, actuators, and valves in manufacturing lines.
