Product Short Description
Product Introduction:
The IC200PWB001A is a power supply booster carrier from GE Fanuc’s VersaMax series, designed to add an external power supply to a chain of VersaMax I/O module carriers, delivering 5VDC backplane power to all modules to its right (or until the next booster). It works with IC200PWRxxx power supplies (AC/DC), integrates with VersaMax CPUs/NIUs, and uses two LEDs (PWR for booster supply health, OK for CPU/NIU + booster power status) for diagnostics. DIN rail-mountable with conductive unpainted finish, it supports distributed power in large I/O systems for manufacturing, process control, and building automation.
Description
- Technical Specifications:
- Function: Mounts external power supply to boost 5VDC backplane power for I/O modules (right of carrier)
- Compatible Power Supplies: IC200PWR001 (120/240VAC), IC200PWR002 (24VDC), IC200PWR003 (120VAC), IC200PWR004 (240VAC)
- Backplane Power Output: 5VDC (matches CPU/NIU backplane voltage)
- LED Indicators: PWR (green: booster supply active); OK (green: CPU/NIU + booster power healthy)
- Mounting: 7.5mm × 35mm DIN rail; snap-on installation
- Dimensions: 66.8mm × 133.4mm × 70mm (width × height × depth, excluding DIN rail height)
- Weight: 0.14kg (0.31 lbs)
- Environmental Ratings: 0°C to +60°C (operating); -40°C to +85°C (storage); 5%–95% RH (non-condensing)
- Isolation: 250VAC field-to-logic; 1500VAC surge (1 minute)
- Finish: Conductive unpainted corrosion-resistant (EMC protection)
- Function Features:
- Power Distribution: Extends 5VDC backplane power to modules right of the carrier, reducing voltage drop in long I/O chains
- Modular Scalability: Works with standard VersaMax power supplies; supports multiple boosters for large systems
- Diagnostic LEDs: PWR/OK indicators enable fast power fault localization
- DIN Rail Compatibility: Snaps onto 7.5mm × 35mm DIN rail; fits standard control panels
- EMC Protection: Conductive finish shields against electromagnetic interference
- System Integration: Shares power with CPU/NIU supply; no configuration needed (plug-and-play)
- Application Scenarios:
- Large I/O Systems: Manufacturing lines with >8 modules (e.g., automotive assembly, packaging) to avoid backplane voltage drop
- Process Control: Chemical, water/wastewater plants with distributed I/O racks needing stable 5VDC
- Building Automation: HVAC/lighting systems with multiple I/O modules across remote panels
- OEM Machinery: Custom equipment requiring scalable power for expandable I/O configurations
- Power Distribution: Redundant power setups for mission-critical systems (dual boosters + supplies)
- Installation & Maintenance:
- Mounting: Snap onto 7.5mm × 35mm DIN rail; ground rail for EMC protection
- Wiring: Connect external power supply to carrier terminals; link to CPU/NIU backplane via VersaMax bus
- Power Setup: Install compatible IC200PWRxxx supply; ensure voltage matches CPU/NIU backplane (5VDC)
- Diagnostics: Check PWR LED for booster supply; OK LED for system + booster power health
- Expansion: Add multiple carriers in series; each booster powers modules until next booster
- Replacement: Hot-swappable (power off carrier first); replace supply or carrier without system shutdown
