GE IC200PWR102 VersaMax Expanded Power Supply Module 120/240 VAC

Introduction

The GE IC200PWR102 Expanded Power Supply module, part of the trusted VersaMax family, exemplifies this transition by providing stable, protected power to backplane-mounted devices. Originally developed by GE Fanuc and now supported by Emerson Automation, this module ensures that network interface units, I/O modules, and CPUs receive clean DC power for uninterrupted operation.

Technical Specifications Breakdown

The IC200PWR102 operates with an input voltage range of 85-132 VAC (with jumper) or 176-264 VAC (without jumper), accepting nominal voltages of 120 VAC and 240 VAC respectively. It handles input frequencies from 47 to 63 Hz and draws a maximum input power of 27 VA. On the output side, it delivers 5 VDC at up to 1.5 A and 3.3 VDC at up to 1.0 A, with a total output current not exceeding 1.5 A. A holdup time of 20 ms maintains power during brief interruptions. Built-in short circuit and overload protection safeguard both the module and connected equipment.

Industry Applications

In manufacturing plants, the IC200PWR102 powers VersaMax backplanes that control conveyor systems, packaging lines, and material handling equipment. Its ability to accept both 120 VAC and 240 VAC inputs makes it suitable for global installations where line voltages vary. The extended power feature allows it to serve as a supplemental supply on a Power Supply Booster carrier, supporting larger I/O configurations without overloading the primary source.

Installation & Setup Guidance

Mount the IC200PWR102 on a VersaMax backplane or a Power Supply Booster carrier. Select the input voltage by installing or removing the jumper located on the right side of the ground terminal: install the jumper for 120 VAC operation; leave it uninstalled for 240 VAC. Ensure the external power source matches the selected range. The module dimensions are 49 mm x 133.4 mm x 39 mm (excluding carrier and DIN-rail height), fitting compactly into control cabinets.

Maintenance & Reliability

Periodically inspect the module for signs of overheating or physical damage. Verify that the input voltage jumper is correctly positioned for the applied line voltage. The built-in short circuit and overload protection reduce the risk of failure, but routine checks of connections and ambient temperature conditions help extend service life. Keep the area around the module free of dust and debris to ensure proper cooling.

Compatibility & Integration

It can function as the primary power supply or as a secondary unit when installed on a Power Supply Booster carrier. This flexibility allows system designers to scale their PLC racks without redesigning the power architecture.

Selection Guide & Purchasing Advice

Before ordering, verify your system's voltage requirements and confirm that the IC200PWR102's input range matches your facility's line voltage. Check that the total backplane current draw does not exceed 1.5 A. AutoDCSTech stocks this module and can advise on compatibility with your existing VersaMax configuration.
