IC200CHS006 is the VersaMax local communications carrier. It provides the local mounting and backplane connection used by compatible VersaMax communication modules, keeping communication hardware integrated with the modular I/O station.
CORE ROLE
Local Communications Carrier
Unlike a standard VersaMax I/O carrier, this carrier is intended for the communication position. It supports the communication module mechanically and establishes the local system connection; it is not a field I/O terminal base.
Product type
VersaMax local communications carrier
System family
VersaMax modular I/O and control
Primary function
Local mounting point for a compatible communication module
System connection
Interfaces the communication position with the VersaMax local bus
Field terminals
Not a standard field I/O terminal carrier
Installation style
Modular DIN-rail station architecture
Selection focus
Match the communication module and local station architecture
Replacement check
Inspect connectors, latches, rail mounting and adjacent modules
The VersaMax platform separates the electronic module from the carrier beneath it. IC200CHS006 serves the local communication position, while ordinary I/O modules use carrier types selected for wiring style and orientation. Correct selection therefore starts with the module above the carrier, then the station type, adjacent layout and DIN-rail space.

PURCHASE QUESTIONS
FAQ for GE IC200CHS006
Is IC200CHS006 a standard field-wiring base?
No. It is the local communications carrier. Select a normal I/O carrier when the requirement is to terminate field signals for a discrete or analog I/O module.
What must be matched before ordering IC200CHS006?
Confirm the exact communication module, the station controller or network interface, the local layout, available DIN-rail space and the catalog labels of adjacent components.
Can IC200CHS006 replace IC200CHS001 or IC200CHS002?
No direct substitution should be assumed. CHS001 and CHS002 are standard I/O carriers with field-terminal functions, while CHS006 serves a communication-module position.
What condition points matter for a replacement IC200CHS006?
Inspect the module connector, local-bus mating area, rail latch, retaining features and housing. Damage at a connector or latch can compromise seating even when the housing looks clean.
Does IC200CHS006 determine the network protocol?
No. The compatible communication module determines the protocol and network behavior. The carrier provides the local mechanical and system connection for that module.
