- Robust DIN Rail Locking: Integrated DIN rail clips provide secure, vibration-resistant mounting in demanding industrial environments.
- Hot-Swap Ready: Compatible with VersaMax hot-swap I/O configurations when used with appropriate network interface modules.
- Compact Footprint: Optimized for space-constrained control panels without sacrificing I/O density.
- Genuine OEM Component: Ensures full compatibility with GE Proficy Machine Edition programming environment and VersaMax NIMs.
System Architecture & Signal Flow
The IC200CHS022G carrier acts as the physical and electrical bus backbone within a VersaMax I/O station. The signal flow is as follows:
- Power Entry: A VersaMax Power Supply module (e.g., IC200PWR002) mounts at the left end of the carrier, distributing 5 VDC logic power and field power across the bus.
- Network Interface: A VersaMax Network Interface Module (NIM, e.g., IC200PBI001 for Profibus or IC200UDD104 for Ethernet) connects to the carrier and manages communication with the host PLC CPU or network.
- I/O Module Slots: Up to 8 discrete or analog I/O modules occupy the remaining slots, each interfacing with field devices via their own terminal blocks.
- Bus Communication: The carrier’s internal bus transfers I/O data between modules and the NIM at high speed, ensuring deterministic scan cycle performance.

Technical FAQ
Q: How many I/O modules can the IC200CHS022G support?
A: Up to 8 VersaMax I/O modules per carrier. Multiple carriers can be connected to expand the I/O station.
Q: Is the IC200CHS022G compatible with all VersaMax NIMs?
A: Yes. It is compatible with all standard VersaMax Network Interface Modules including Profibus, DeviceNet, Ethernet, and Genius bus interfaces.
Q: Can this carrier be used in a standalone VersaMax CPU station?
A: Yes, when paired with a VersaMax CPU module (IC200CPU series) and power supply, it forms a complete standalone PLC station.
Q: What is the difference between IC200CHS022 and IC200CHS022G?
A: The “G” suffix denotes a later hardware revision with minor manufacturing improvements. It is functionally and electrically equivalent and is a direct replacement for earlier revisions.
Q: Do you provide a certificate of conformance?
A: Yes. A certificate of conformance and inspection report are available upon request for all orders.
Q: What is your warranty policy?
A: We offer a 12-month warranty against manufacturing defects. Contact support@konmask.com for warranty claims.
