Application-Specific FAQ
Q: Can the IC200CHS022K be used with a GE PACSystems RX3i CPU?
A: Yes. When paired with a compatible NIU (e.g., IC200PNS001), the IC200CHS022K operates as a remote I/O drop on an Ethernet/IP or PROFINET network controlled by a PACSystems RX3i or RX7i CPU.
Q: How many IC200CHS022K carriers can be connected in a single remote drop?
A: Up to 8 carriers (80 I/O module slots) can be connected in a single VersaMax remote drop, depending on the NIU model and power budget.
Q: Is this module compatible with GE Series 90-30 I/O modules?
A: No. The IC200CHS022K is designed exclusively for the IC200 (VersaMax) module family and is not backward-compatible with Series 90-30 (IC693) modules.
Q: What power supply is required?
A: The carrier itself does not require a separate power connection — it draws power from the NIU or CPU carrier power bus. Field-side I/O power (typically 24 VDC) is supplied via the I/O modules installed in the carrier.
Q: Can I mix discrete and analog modules in the same IC200CHS022K carrier?
A: Yes. Any combination of IC200 series discrete, analog, and specialty modules can be installed in the 10 slots, subject to the NIU’s total I/O point and power limits.
