Parts of a VersaPoint I/O Station

A VersaPoint station with a Profibus Network Interface Unit consists of:
– (1) End Clamps (supplied with NIU)
– (2) Profibus NIU
– (3) Modules appropriate to the application
– (4) End Plate (supplied with the NIU)
Mount modules side by side on a 35mm (1.378in.) standard DIN rail. No tools are
required.
Do not set up the station while the power is connected. Before setting up a
VersaPoint station or inserting a module, be sure the entire station is disconnected
from the power. Be sure the entire station is reassembled before switching power
on.

End Plate

The VersaPoint I/O Station must be terminated using the end plate that is supplied
with the Network Interface Unit module. The end plate does not have an electrical
function. It protects the station from ESD pulses and the user from dangerous
voltages.

End Clamps

Install end clamps on both ends of the station to hold it in place on the DIN rail.
End clamps are supplied with the NIU. If additional clamps are required, they are
available as GE Intelligent Platforms part number IC220ACC313.
