GE Fanuc IC200CHS025 VersaMax Compact Spring-Style I/O Carrier (Single Module)
1. Product Overview
The IC200CHS025 is the compact spring-clamp terminal I/O carrier in GE Fanuc's (now Emerson Automation Solutions) VersaMax distributed I/O system. It provides no I/O points itself; instead it offers mechanical mounting, backplane bus connection and field-wiring terminals for a single VersaMax I/O module.
Each CHS025 carrier holds exactly one VersaMax I/O module, mounted vertically (perpendicular to the DIN rail). Multiple carriers snap together side-by-side to form an I/O rack; one rack can comprise up to 8 connected carriers (with a CPU/NIU/ERM). The carrier uses spring-clamp (push-in) terminals — no screws, just insert the wire — for fast field wiring and vibration resistance.
The carrier mounts on a standard 7.5mm × 35mm DIN rail, or can be screw-panel mounted. It supports module hot insertion/removal.
Note: The "025" in the model denotes compact spring-clamp vertical mounting; it does not mean 25 slots. VersaMax uses single-module carriers that snap together; one rack holds up to 8 carriers.

5. Model Information
- Catalog number (ordering number): IC200CHS025
- Product description: GE Fanuc VersaMax compact spring-clamp I/O carrier, single module, vertical mounting, spring terminal wiring.
- Official catalog description: IC200CHS025 Compact Spring-Style I/O Carrier — compact terminal-style carrier with spring clamp terminals, module mounts perpendicular to DIN rail.
- Material number note: IC200CHS025 is the official GE Fanuc / Emerson ordering number. "CHS" denotes carrier; "025" denotes compact spring-clamp vertical. Note this is a single-module carrier, not a 25-slot rack; for multiple I/O modules, order one carrier per module and snap them together. If you have questions on terminal style selection (box/spring/barrier/connector) or rack count, please contact us by email.

6. Why Choose Us
- Exact model match: We verify supply against your full catalog number IC200CHS025, distinguishing CHS025 (compact spring vertical) from CHS022 (compact box vertical), CHS005 (spring horizontal) and others to avoid wrong shipment.
- Authorized channel supply: GE Fanuc / Emerson VersaMax carriers supplied through regular channels, with product documentation available on request.
- Selection support: We help confirm required carrier count, terminal style (spring/box/barrier/connector), DIN rail mounting and hot-swap requirements.
- Delivery & after-sales: Quotation, lead-time confirmation and order follow-up provided; for any parameter questions or alternative options, please contact us by email.
7. FAQ
Q1: Is the IC200CHS025 a 25-slot rack?
A: No. The IC200CHS025 is a single-module compact spring-clamp carrier; each carrier holds one I/O module. The "025" is a spec code (compact spring vertical), not a slot count. Multiple carriers snap together to form a rack of up to 8 carriers.
Q2: What is the difference between spring, box and barrier terminals? Which to choose?
A: Spring-clamp terminals (CHS005/025) are screwless push-in, fast and vibration-resistant; box terminals (CHS002/022) are screw-clamped with box-style covers; barrier (CHS001) is screw barrier wiring; connector (CHS003) uses prefab cables for quick disconnect. Choose spring for fast field wiring/vibration, box/barrier for traditional screw wiring, connector for centralized marshalling.
Q3: How many modules can one rack hold?
A: A VersaMax rack consists of one CPU/NIU/ERM plus up to 8 snap-together carriers, one I/O module per carrier — i.e. up to 8 I/O modules per rack. Beyond that use expansion racks (ETM001 + ERM001/002).
Q4: How is the carrier mounted?
A: It snaps onto a standard 7.5mm × 35mm DIN rail, or can be screw-panel mounted. The module inserts vertically into the carrier. The DIN rail must be grounded for EMC.
Q5: Does it support hot swapping modules?
A: Yes. VersaMax carriers are designed for I/O module hot insertion/removal for online maintenance.
Q6: Can any VersaMax I/O module go on this carrier?
A: Yes, CHS025 is compatible with all VersaMax discrete and analog I/O modules regardless of I/O type. For special circular connectors (e.g. 7/8"), choose the connector-style carrier CHS003 with prefab cables. Please email us for selection help.
