Description
The GE Fanuc Emerson IC200CHS112 is a high-density interposing relay expansion base designed for the Versamax I/O and PLC platform. This module features 16 discrete points with replaceable relay channels, engineered to isolate sensitive control electronics from high-power field actuators. By facilitating quick field-level relay replacement without the need to disrupt existing system wiring, this unit significantly reduces mean time to repair (MTTR) and protects the backplane from electrical surges, ensuring continuous operation in demanding industrial environments.
Features
- 16-point high-density interposing relay architecture.
- Replaceable relay channels for simplified maintenance.
- Electrical isolation between control electronics and field devices.
- Supports mixed-voltage switching profiles via external load power sources.
- Flexible wire gauge compatibility (12 to 24 AWG).
- Designed for high-vibration industrial control cabinet environments.
Applications
This expansion base is widely utilized in power generation facilities, chemical processing plants, and water treatment infrastructure where reliable high-current switching and electrical isolation are required for PLC-based control systems.

- Mount the base securely to the DIN rail or backplane according to Versamax system specifications.
- Verify that all field wiring is properly stripped and secured within the terminal blocks to the specified torque of 0.5 to 0.6 Nm.
- Maintain proper clearance for cooling and cable routing to minimize EMI interference from high-voltage lines.
- Handle with ESD precautions to prevent damage to internal control circuitry.
FAQ
Does this module include the relays?
Yes, the IC200CHS112 is designed with replaceable relay channels, allowing for individual relay maintenance or replacement as needed.
Can this module switch different voltages?
Yes, because the output contacts utilize an external load power source, the module supports mixed-voltage switching across its 16 points, provided the external power requirements are met.
