Functional Description

IC200MDL940 is a Relay Output Module developed by GE. It is a Form A Relay Output Module from General Electric, part of the VersaMax product line. It is specifically designed for the control system, offering robust and reliable performance. This module features 16 output points, divided into two groups of eight, each providing individual isolation for safe and efficient operation in complex environments.

Features

• Output Points and Isolation: The module is equipped with 16 output points, which are organized into two separate groups of eight. Each output point is individually isolated, providing enhanced safety and reliability. Additionally, the module supports both channel-to-channel and group-to-group isolation, further improving its operational integrity.
• Relay and Contact Types: This module utilizes fixed coil relay types with moving armatures and silver contact types, known for their durability and reliable switching performance.
• Compatibility: It is fully compatible with the CHS101 and CHS102 series of VersaMax interposing disconnect bases, ensuring seamless integration with existing control systems.

Power Consumption and Supply Requirements

• The module consumes up to 490 milliamps of current from a five-volt output backplane, which serves as its primary power source. For all load-switching operations, however, an additional power supply is required.
• The module supports two output voltage settings: alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC).
  • AC Output Voltage:
    
    • Range: 0 to 265 volts
    • Frequency: 47 to 63 hertz
    • Nominal Voltage: 120 volts and 240 volts
  • DC Output Voltage:
    
    • Range: 0 to 125 volts
    • Nominal Voltage: 5 volts, 24 volts, and 125 volts

Load Current Specifications

The load current for each output point varies based on the voltage conditions:

AC Voltage Load:

• Range: 5 to 265 volts
• Maximum Load per Point: 2 amperes

DC Voltage Load:

• Range: 5 to 30 volts
• Maximum Load per Point: 2 amperes
• Range: 31 to 125 volts
• Maximum Load per Point: 0.2 amperes

Relay Outputs and Isolation

• Features 16 individually isolated Form A relay outputs, which are arranged in two groups of eight outputs each. The Form A relay configuration means that each output has a single, normally open contact that closes when the relay is energized.
• Group-to-group isolation allows for 250VAC continuous and 1500VAC for 1 minute isolation, ensuring that different output groups are electrically isolated from each other to prevent interference or damage due to electrical faults.
• Point-to-point isolation is provided between individual output points, offering 250VAC continuous and 1500VAC for 1 minute isolation. This feature ensures each output can operate independently with minimal risk of electrical noise or crosstalk.

LED Indicators

• Individual Point State Indicator: Each output on the module is equipped with a green LED that shows the on/off state of the corresponding relay, providing operators with real-time feedback for system diagnostics and monitoring.
• Backplane Power Indicator: A dedicated OK LED indicates whether the module is receiving proper power from the backplane. If the backplane power is absent or malfunctioning, the LED will not illuminate, alerting operators to potential issues.

Backplane Current Consumption

The module has a backplane current consumption of 490mA maximum when using a 5V output backplane. This ensures that the module can draw sufficient power to operate its internal circuitry and relays, without overloading the backplane.

External Power Supply Requirements

The module is designed to work with a range of external power supplies, including:

• 0 to 125VDC with a nominal value of 5/24/125VDC
• 0 to 265VAC (47 to 63Hz) with 120/240VAC nominal

Thermal Derating

The module does not include thermal derating mechanisms. This means the module is not designed to reduce its output capabilities based on environmental temperature. Therefore, it's essential to ensure the module operates within the recommended temperature range to avoid overheating or reduced performance.

Output Voltage and Current Ratings

• The module supports output voltages ranging from 0 to 125VDC, with nominal values of 5/24/125VDC. It also supports 0 to 265VAC (47 to 63Hz) or 120/240VAC nominal.
• Output Voltage Drop is a maximum of 0.3V, ensuring minimal energy loss during operation and efficient power delivery to connected loads.
• Load Current per Output:
  • 10mA minimum per point to ensure reliable switching of low-power devices.
  • 2.0A maximum for 5 to 265VAC (resistive load).
  • 2.0A maximum for 5 to 30VDC (resistive load).
  • 0.2A maximum for 31 to 125VDC (resistive load).
