System Compatibility
The IC200CHS001 is designed for use within the GE VersaMax Micro PLC ecosystem. Confirm compatibility with the following system components before ordering:
- CPU Modules: IC200UDR002, IC200UDR005, IC200UDR010, IC200UAL005, IC200UAA003 (and related VersaMax Micro CPUs)
- I/O Expansion Modules: IC200MDL series (digital) and IC200ALG series (analog)
- Power Supplies: Standard 24 VDC field power; verify carrier power requirements
- Programming Software: GE Proficy Machine Edition (ME) Logic Developer-PLC
- Communication: Compatible with systems using IC200SET001 and related VersaMax network adapters
Selection Guide
Use the following criteria to determine whether the IC200CHS001 is the right carrier for your application:
- Terminal preference: Choose IC200CHS001 for barrier/screw terminals; choose IC200CHS002 for spring-clamp (tool-free) wiring
- I/O density: For standard module counts, IC200CHS001 is sufficient; for high-density layouts, evaluate IC200CHS003 or IC200CHS005
- Environment: Barrier terminals are preferred in high-vibration environments; spring-clamp suits cleaner, lower-vibration settings
- Retrofit vs. new build: For retrofits, match the existing carrier type to minimize rewiring; for new builds, consider spring-clamp for faster installation
- Budget: Original GE parts offer the lowest integration risk; third-party alternatives may reduce cost but require engineering validation

Replacement & Compatibility FAQ
Q: Can I use IC200CHS002 as a direct replacement for IC200CHS001?
A: Yes, in most cases. Both are VersaMax Micro I/O carriers with the same form factor. The key difference is terminal style (barrier vs. spring-clamp). Rewiring will be required if switching terminal types.
Q: Is the IC200CHS001 still in production?
A: GE Fanuc’s automation division was acquired by Emerson (now part of the Emerson Discrete Automation portfolio). Availability varies; Konmask.com maintains stock of both new and refurbished units. Contact us for current availability.
Q: Can this carrier be used with non-GE I/O modules?
A: No. The IC200CHS001 is mechanically and electrically designed exclusively for GE VersaMax Micro I/O modules. Third-party modules are not compatible.
Q: What is the difference between IC200CHS001 and IC200CHS005?
A: The IC200CHS005 includes additional grounding provisions and may support slightly different module configurations. Consult the GE VersaMax Micro Hardware Reference Manual (GFK-1504) for detailed comparison.
Q: Do you provide a certificate of conformance (CoC)?
A: Yes, CoC documentation is available upon request for all original GE parts. Please specify your requirement at the time of order.
