GE IC200PWB001 IC200PWB001B IC200PWB001D Power Supply Booster Carrier

Overview

The GE IC200PWB001 is a Power Supply Booster Carrier designed for the GE Fanuc VersaMax I/O system. It provides extended power distribution capability, enabling an additional power supply to support modules placed further down the I/O chain. This ensures stable operation across large or high-power VersaMax installations, where a single supply may not meet the total current demand.

The module’s rugged design and DIN-rail mounting make it ideal for demanding industrial environments. Moreover, its snap-in installation simplifies system expansion, allowing engineers to extend power without complex wiring changes.

Key Features and Benefits

• Extended Power Capacity – Supports a second power supply to boost total available current.

• Seamless System Integration – Distributes power efficiently across modules located to the right of the booster.

• Simplified Installation – Tool-free, snap-on mounting reduces setup time.

• Rugged Construction – Features a conductive, corrosion-resistant finish for long-term reliability.

• Visual Status Indicators – Equipped with “OK” and “PWR” LEDs for quick system diagnostics.

• VersaMax Compatibility – Fully compatible with VersaMax power supplies and I/O modules.
