Features:
- Provides 36 barrier-style terminals for one VersaMax I/O module.
- Accepts one or two AWG 22 through AWG 14 copper conductors.
- Includes module keying, a latch, and a transparent terminal cover.
The carrier combines module support, backplane connection, and field termination in a single horizontal assembly.
Thirty-two positions can carry I/O circuits, while four additional terminals accommodate common or power distribution required by the selected module.
Keying dials reduce module-selection errors, and the hinged cover keeps screw terminals protected yet accessible for service.
The General Electric IC200CHS001 VersaMax Barrier I/O Carrier can remain obtainable with product support from Apter Power after End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

Field Conductor Layout
- Conductor Range: Each point accepts one or two AWG 22 through AWG 14 copper wires.
- Point Capacity: A single field terminal carries up to 2 A within the connected module limits.
- Power Paths: Power and ground positions are limited to 8 A each.
- Clamp Torque: Screw terminals require 0.37 to 0.50 ft-lb for a secure connection.
Mechanical Arrangement
- Terminal Cover: A transparent hinged guard allows labels and wiring to remain visible.
- Module Latch: The retained module is released from the carrier without disturbing field screws.
- Keying Dials: Matching settings block an incorrect I/O type from being installed.
- Side Connectors: Adjacent carriers join to continue backplane communication across the station.
Rail and Panel Placement
- Rail Profile: The carrier snaps onto a grounded conductive 7.5 by 35 mm DIN rail.
- Orientation: The I/O module lies parallel to the rail in the horizontal carrier format.
- Severe Duty: Direct panel mounting improves retention where shock or vibration is high.
- Station Build: Carrier connectors should seat fully before modules and field wiring are added.
Installation Uses
- Dense Panels: Thirty-six front-access screw points suit compact machine control cabinets.
- Shared Commons: Four auxiliary positions support module power or common distribution.
- Service Access: Barrier screws allow individual conductors to be traced and tightened in place.
- High Vibration: Panel mounting can reinforce stations exposed to stronger mechanical stress.
