Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can the IC200MDL143 be hot-swapped?
A: Yes, VersaMax modules support hot insertion/removal when the carrier is powered, provided input circuits are isolated.
Q: What devices can be connected?
A: Typical devices include pushbuttons, limit switches, proximity sensors, and other 24 VDC discrete devices.
Q: Does it require an external power supply?
A: No, the module draws power from the VersaMax backplane; only field devices require external 24 VDC supply.
