The unit converts low-voltage logic control vectors generated over the internal backplane into direct mechanical contact actuation for external field elements. It functions as an isolation barrier between the system microprocessor logic layers and inductive or resistive field load loops, switching external alternating current or direct current lines based on discrete command bits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHardware Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cfigure class=\"table\"\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eParameter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecification\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIC200MDL940\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGE\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOrigin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUnited States\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.22 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e66.8 mm x 128 mm x 50.2 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOperating Temp\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0 to 60 deg C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePower Consumption\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e70 mA maximum at 5 VDC from backplane power supply\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOutput Channels\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16 Form A (SPST) isolated relays grouped in four clusters\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaximum Voltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30 VDC or 250 VAC nominal bounds\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eContact Current Rating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.0 A maximum per output point, up to 4.0 A per common line\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eI\/O Density Scaling\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe module handles high-density discrete switching tasks by leveraging physical contact matrices that interface directly with the expansion subassembly. This setup ensures that I\/O density scaling transitions do not compromise signal integrity or generate heat generation cross-talk inside the carrier frame. Continuous firmware flash compatibility within the VersaMax product series guarantees predictable relay coil pick-up and drop-out timing states, preventing unexpected control loop latencies during synchronous scanning sequences across the backplane bus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQ: Does the IC200MDL940 allow online hot-swap module substitution while the station is energized?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: No, the hardware lacks localized mechanical interlocks to safely arrest arcing. Removing or inserting this module into an energized base carrier frame can damage the logic-side pin connectors and trigger master communication dropouts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQ: What happens to the mechanical relay positions if logic power to the backplane is lost?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: Upon a power loss state or internal station error condition, all 16 electromechanical relay output channels revert immediately to their de-energized, normally open fail-safe positions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQ: How is suppressing inductive kickback spikes from external field valves handled by this module?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: The module does not contain integrated contact snubbers or voltage clamps. External suppression components, such as flyback diodes for DC loads or metal oxide varistors for AC loads, must be installed across the field contacts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eField Installation Guidelines\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMount the output assembly vertically onto a standard 35 mm DIN-rail layout using the compatible VersaMax terminal carrier base. Maintain an open spacing perimeter of at least 50 mm above and below the module enclosure ventilation channels to support proper natural thermal heat sink dissipation. Route all high-voltage field wiring separately from low-voltage communication and backplane paths within the panel ducting. Terminate field connections securely at the carrier terminal strip, verifying that total current across any common terminal does not exceed the specified 4.0 A maximum rating.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GE Fanuc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53595961032888,"sku":"IC200MDL940","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0935\/6132\/3704\/files\/IC200MDL940_2.jpg?v=1781595050","url":"https:\/\/www.globalpetroparts.com\/products\/digital-i-o-cards-ic200mdl940-ge-versamax","provider":"Global Petro Parts Automation","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
