The General Electric IC200PWR002 is a 24 VDC expanded power supply module designed for the VersaMax PLC system. This unit provides essential backplane power to CPUs, Network Interface Units (NIUs), and various I/O modules. It is engineered to function either as a primary power source when mounted directly to a CPU/NIU or as a supplemental power booster when installed on a dedicated booster carrier.

Features

• Input voltage range of 18-30 VDC (24 VDC nominal).
• Dual output voltage: 5 VDC and 3.3 VDC.
• Total output current capacity of 1.5 A.
• Integrated protection against short circuits, overloads, and reverse polarity.
• Supports modular expansion for complex VersaMax configurations.
• Holdup time of 10 ms during power fluctuations.

Applications

• Industrial automation and production line synchronization.
• Material handling systems, including large-scale conveyors.
• Automotive manufacturing for high-speed discrete I/O and robotics.
• Distributed process control for water treatment and light chemical applications.

Installation Guidelines

• Power Down: Always disconnect all power sources before installing, removing, or wiring the module to prevent electrical hazards.
• Mounting: Mount directly to the CPU or NIU for primary power functionality, or use a Power Supply Booster Carrier for supplemental power.
• Grounding: The DC- terminal must be connected to both the frame ground and earth ground. Note that the unit is internally grounded to the frame, which precludes floating power supply configurations.
• Wiring: Utilize the five screw-type terminals on the front panel. Ensure correct polarity for the +DC and -DC connections.
• Environment: Ensure adequate ventilation to maintain operating temperature within specified limits.
