Carriers - GE VersaMax IC200PWR001 User Manual

Carriers

Carriers provide mounting, backplane communications, and field wiring
connections for all types of VersaMax modules. I/O modules can be installed
on carriers or removed without disturbing field wiring.
There are three basic I/O Carrier types:

Terminal-style I/O carriers. Modules mount parallel to the DIN rail.

Compact Terminal-style I/O Carriers. Modules mount perpendicular to the
DIN rail.

Connector-style I/O Carriers. Modules mount perpendicular to the DIN rail.
These carriers are normally used with Interposing I/O Terminals. One type
of Interposing I/O Terminals is illustrated below; other types are also
available.
Refer to chapter 4 for information about VersaMax I/O Carriers.
Terminal-style I/O carriers have 36 individual terminals for direct connection of
field wiring. Auxiliary I/O Terminal Strips are available for applications requiring
additional wiring terminals. Chapter 5 describes the VersaMax Interposing
Terminals and Auxiliary I/O Terminal Strips.
