Product Introduction

The GE IC200PWR002J VersaMax Power Supply Module belongs to the VersaMax programmable automation system. It is based on the IC200PWR002 expanded-power design, which provides 24 VDC input and regulated 5 VDC and 3.3 VDC outputs for system backplane power.

When installed on a compatible CPU or NIU, the module can function as the station's main power supply. In applications requiring additional power capacity, it can also be installed on a compatible Power Supply Booster Carrier to provide supplemental power.

The IC200PWR002 specification lists a maximum combined output current of 1.5 A. This capacity is shared between the 5 VDC and 3.3 VDC outputs, so the actual available current on each output depends on the connected load. Checking the power consumption of all installed modules is therefore important when configuring or expanding a VersaMax station.

For maintenance and replacement projects, verify the complete IC200PWR002J part number and revision against the existing equipment documentation to ensure that the selected module matches the intended application.

Expanded I/O configurations: Can be used as a supplemental power source when installed on a compatible power supply booster carrier.

Advantages and Functional Highlights

Dual DC Output: Provides 5 VDC and 3.3 VDC outputs for compatible VersaMax backplane devices.

Expanded Power Capacity: Offers a total output current of up to 1.5 A, with the available current shared between the two output voltages.

Flexible Installation: Can serve as the main power supply when mounted on a compatible CPU or NIU, or as supplemental power when used with a suitable booster carrier.

Built-in Protection: Includes short-circuit, overload, and reverse-polarity protection to help protect the power supply and connected equipment.

Compact Module Format: Its compact construction supports installation in VersaMax control assemblies where cabinet space is limited.

Technical FAQs

Q1: What is the primary function of the IC200PWR002J?

A: It supplies 5 VDC and 3.3 VDC backplane power to compatible VersaMax CPU, NIU, and I/O modules.

Q2: What input voltage does this power supply require?

A: The IC200PWR002 power supply specification identifies a nominal input of 24 VDC, with an operating range of 18–30 VDC.

Q3: Can the module provide both 5 VDC and 3.3 VDC simultaneously?

A: Yes. Both outputs are available, but their combined load must remain within the module's total output-current limit.

Q4: What is the maximum total output current?

A: The specified maximum total output current is 1.5 A across the 5 VDC and 3.3 VDC outputs.

Q5: Can the IC200PWR002J be used as a supplemental power supply?

A: Yes. When installed on a compatible VersaMax Power Supply Booster Carrier, it can provide supplemental power to the station.

Q6: Does this module provide electrical isolation?

A: The IC200PWR002 power supply is specified as non-isolated. System grounding and power distribution should follow the applicable installation documentation.

Q7: What protection functions are integrated into the module?

A: The documented protection functions include short-circuit, overload, and reverse-polarity protection.

Q8: What is the specified hold-up time?

A: The published specification for the IC200PWR002 identifies a hold-up time of approximately 10 ms.

Q9: What should be checked if the VersaMax station fails to power up?

A: Check the external 24 VDC supply, input wiring polarity, terminal connections, module seating, and the total backplane power demand. Also inspect the system for short circuits or overload conditions.

Q10: Can the IC200PWR002J replace another VersaMax power supply module?

A: Not automatically. Confirm the input voltage, output capacity, installation position, carrier compatibility, and exact hardware revision before selecting a replacement.
