GE Fanuc IC220PWR013 VersaPoint Power Terminal

The IC220PWR013 serves as a specialized fused segment terminal within the GE VersaPoint I/O family. This module facilitates the creation of a protected segment circuit directly from the main supply voltage. It provides essential circuit isolation and branch protection for industrial automation layouts. Engineers use this module to safeguard specific downstream components against overcurrent conditions.

Technical Specifications and Overview

Core Functional Capabilities

The IC220PWR013 creates a new segment circuit automatically when installed in the local bus. This module does not generate power independently. It distributes existing potential from the main circuit through a fused connection.

Integrated diagnostic LEDs allow operators to verify bus status at a glance. The module also transmits digital diagnostic data to the controller. This data includes real-time monitoring of the supply voltage levels. It also reports the current state of the internal fuse.

Users must note that this terminal lacks internal polarity reversal protection. It also does not provide overvoltage suppression for the connected system. Proper external conditioning remains necessary for sensitive electronic loads.

Installation and Integration Requirements

This module requires a separate IC220TBK087 Power Terminal Strip for field wiring. The compact 13mm width saves significant space in crowded electrical cabinets. It integrates seamlessly with PACSystems RX3i controllers and other VersaPoint stations.

The terminal utilizes a standard DIN-rail mounting system for secure installation. High-speed communication occurs across the internal VersaPoint local bus. This design simplifies wiring and reduces potential points of failure in complex PLC systems.
