Product Introduction & Supply Chain Strategy
The Emerson GE Fanuc IC200CHS022 is a 36-point box-style compact terminal base for the VersaMax PLC and distributed I/O family. The terminal base serves as the foundational mounting block in a VersaMax node: it clips onto a standard 35mm DIN rail, connects backplane signals to adjacent units via side connectors, and houses the screw terminals where field sensors and actuators are wired.
A major advantage of the VersaMax modular structure is its “two-piece” hot-swappable design. Field wiring connects permanently to the IC200CHS022 base, allowing the actual I/O electronics module (IC200ALG…, IC200MDL…) to be snapped in or replaced without disturbing field wiring. Keeping factory-sealed New Surplus IC200CHS022 bases on-site prevents installation delays during control cabinet builds and ensures spare bases are available if terminal screws strip or backplane connectors suffer mechanical wear.

Installation & Configuration Guide
Stage 1: Pre-Installation (Prep & Safety)
- Lock-Out/Tag-Out (LOTO): Disconnect and lock out main supply power to the VersaMax rack and associated field power buses before installing or wiring the base.
- Keying Adjustment: Set the two mechanical keying dials on the IC200CHS022 base to match the keying position required by the specific VersaMax I/O module being installed.
- DIN Rail Setup: Ensure 35mm DIN rail is securely mounted and properly grounded to the panel enclosure backplate.
Stage 2: Removal
- Unplug the installed VersaMax I/O module by depressing its top and bottom release levers and pulling it straight off the base.
- Disconnect field wiring from the 36 box terminals using a small flathead screwdriver.
- Slide adjacent bases apart along the DIN rail to disengage the side backplane connectors, then release the bottom DIN rail catch and lift the IC200CHS022 base free.
Stage 3: Installation & Wiring
- Snap the base onto the DIN rail and slide it laterally to engage the multi-pin backplane connector with the adjacent base or Network Interface Unit (NIU).
- Strip field wires to 5–6 mm (1/4 in) and insert into the box terminals, tightening screws to 0.4–0.5 Nm (3.5–4.4 in-lbs).
- Align the I/O module over the base and press firmly until the latches click securely into place.
Stage 4: Power-On & Testing
- Re-apply power to the VersaMax power supply / interface unit.
- Confirm backplane continuity and verify I/O module status LEDs illuminate normally.
- Test connected sensor/actuator field signals to ensure correct point assignment across terminals 1 through 36.
Firmware/Software Versions & Upgrade Notes
- Hardware Compatibility: The is a passive wiring carrier module requiring no software configuration, firmware files, or address assignments.
- Module Selection: Suitable for all 36-point VersaMax discrete and analog modules requiring box-style screw terminals. (For spring-clamp terminations, refer to catalog number
IC200CHS002).
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is this unit guaranteed to be New Surplus and not refurbished?
Yes. This base is 100% Brand New Surplus stock in original GE Fanuc / Emerson OEM protective packaging. It has never been installed in a cabinet, wired in the field, or repaired.
What is the difference between a “Compact” base and an “Extended” base in VersaMax?
Compact bases (like the ) feature a smaller footprint suitable for standard density I/O modules, whereas Extended bases provide extra wiring room and additional common/ground terminals for high-density or specialized modules.
Can I replace an I/O module attached to an base while power is applied?
VersaMax modules support hot-swapping under powered backplanes provided field power to the specific module terminals is isolated and safe work practices are followed per site safety regulations.
What screwdriver size is recommended for the box terminals?
A 2.5 mm to 3.0 mm flathead precision screwdriver is recommended to avoid stripping terminal screws or damaging terminal housings.
What warranty protection comes with this New Surplus base?
We support this Emerson GE Fanuc New Surplus terminal base with a comprehensive 1-year replacement warranty. Every unit passes visual inspection, connector checks, and protective packaging prior to dispatch.
