I/O modules

Module Overview

The GE IC200PWR101 power supply module provides regulated DC power for VersaMax PLC systems. This compact unit converts AC mains voltage into stable 5 V and 24 V outputs. It powers CPU, I/O, and communication modules across the VersaMax backplane. System integrators choose this supply for its reliability and compact footprint.

Input Voltage and Frequency Range

The GE IC200PWR101 accepts 85 to 264 V AC input voltage for global compatibility. It operates with 47 to 63 Hz frequency ranges without manual adjustment. The unit also accepts 100 to 300 V DC input for industrial applications. A built-in surge limiter handles transient voltages up to 4 kilovolts. This wide range ensures stable operation with fluctuating mains supplies.

Output Specifications and Capacity

The module delivers 5 V DC at 3 amperes for logic and backplane power. It provides 24 V DC at 1.5 amperes for field device and relay power. The outputs operate independently with separate regulation and protection. Total output power reaches 24 watts under full load conditions. These ratings support most standard VersaMax configurations.

Output Voltage Regulation

The GE IC200PWR101 maintains ±2% regulation on the 5 V DC output. The 24 V DC output stays within ±3% under varying load conditions. Ripple and noise measure below 50 millivolts peak-to-peak on both outputs. The module includes remote sensing for accurate voltage at the load. This precision ensures reliable operation of sensitive electronics.

Protection Features and Safety

This power supply includes overload protection with automatic current limiting. It incorporates short-circuit protection on both output rails. Overvoltage protection clamps outputs at safe levels during faults. Thermal shutdown activates when internal temperature exceeds critical limits. These comprehensive protections safeguard the connected automation equipment.

LED Status Indicators

Two LED indicators display the operational status of each output. A green LED confirms proper 5 V DC output voltage. A second green LED verifies the 24 V DC output presence. Both LEDs turn off during fault or overload conditions. This visual feedback enables rapid power status verification.

Physical Dimensions and Mounting

The GE IC200PWR101 measures 60 millimeters in width, 80 millimeters in height, and 55 millimeters in depth. The unit weighs 0.35 kilograms for straightforward handling. It mounts directly onto the VersaMax DIN rail base. A spring-loaded clip secures the module firmly in position.

Power Efficiency and Dissipation

The module achieves 85% efficiency at full rated load. Total power dissipation reaches 4.2 watts under typical operating conditions. Natural convection cooling eliminates the need for a fan. The aluminum housing dissipates heat effectively to the surroundings. This efficient design suits sealed control cabinet installations.

Backplane Connection and Distribution

The module connects to the VersaMax backplane through a dedicated bus connector. It distributes power to all modules in the rack system. The backplane carries both 5 V and 24 V rails to each slot. Each slot receives individually fused power for protection. This distribution ensures reliable power delivery across the system.

Environmental Specifications

The power supply operates from -20°C to +60°C ambient temperature. It withstands 5% to 95% non-condensing humidity conditions. The unit meets UL 508 and CSA industrial safety standards. Its IP20-rated housing protects against accidental contact. The conformal-coated PCB resists moisture and contaminants.
