GE IC200PWB001 – Power Supply Booster Carrier | VersaMax Micro PLC Platform
Engineering Background
The GE IC200PWB001 is a dedicated Power Supply Booster Carrier designed for the GE Fanuc VersaMax Micro PLC platform. As distributed I/O architectures scale beyond the base unit’s native power budget, the IC200PWB001 provides the structural and electrical foundation to mount an auxiliary power supply module, restoring full power headroom to expanded I/O configurations. This carrier is a critical infrastructure component for engineers designing multi-module VersaMax systems in space-constrained industrial enclosures.
Product Positioning
Targeted at OEM machine builders, system integrators, and MRO procurement teams operating GE Fanuc VersaMax Micro PLC installations, the IC200PWB001 is the authoritative solution when I/O expansion demands exceed the base CPU power supply rating. It is a direct GE Fanuc OEM component — not a third-party substitute — ensuring full compatibility and lifecycle support within the VersaMax ecosystem.

System Architecture & Signal Flow
In a standard VersaMax Micro PLC expansion configuration, the IC200PWB001 mounts adjacent to the CPU or existing I/O expansion modules on the DIN rail. The booster carrier accepts a compatible auxiliary power supply module (sold separately) which feeds the VersaMax Micro expansion bus, supplementing the CPU’s internal power supply. This architecture allows the system to support additional I/O modules beyond the base power budget without requiring a larger CPU or external power distribution wiring. The carrier interfaces mechanically and electrically via the VersaMax Micro bus connector, maintaining the system’s compact, integrated form factor.
Signal Flow Summary: AC/DC Input → Auxiliary Power Supply Module (mounted on IC200PWB001) → VersaMax Micro Expansion Bus → I/O Expansion Modules

Technical FAQ
Q: What power supply module is compatible with the IC200PWB001 carrier?
A: The IC200PWB001 is designed to accept GE Fanuc VersaMax Micro auxiliary power supply modules. The most common pairing is the IC200PWR002. Consult GE Fanuc hardware manual GFK-1504 for the full compatibility matrix.
Q: Is the IC200PWB001 required for all VersaMax Micro I/O expansions?
A: Not always. It is required when the total I/O expansion load exceeds the CPU’s internal power supply capacity. Refer to the power budget calculation in GFK-1504 to determine if a booster carrier is needed for your configuration.
Q: Can this carrier be used with VersaMax (non-Micro) or Series 90 PLC systems?
A: No. The IC200PWB001 is specific to the VersaMax Micro platform. It is not compatible with VersaMax standard (IC200 carrier-based) or Series 90-30/70 systems.
Q: Does Konmask provide a warranty on this product?
A: Yes. Konmask.com provides a 90-day functional warranty on all verified OEM components. Extended warranty and service agreements available for volume procurement — contact us for details.
Q: What documentation is available?
A: GE Fanuc hardware reference manual GFK-1504 covers the IC200PWB001. Konmask can provide datasheet excerpts, certificate of conformance, and test reports upon request.
