At-A-Glance Executive Brief
- Model: IC200MDL240J-1000, base part IC200MDL240
- Brand: GE Fanuc
- Part Type: VersaMax discrete AC input I/O module
- Lifecycle status: OEM obsolescent, stocked for factory brownfield VersaMax racks
- System compatibility: VersaMax CPU and I/O carrier bases
- Weight: 0.22 kg
Technical Introduction
Field sensor and limit switch status cannot feed back to the VersaMax CPU when this input module fails. This carrier-mounted 16-point sourcing AC input module reads 120VAC field signals from contactors, limit switches and panel interlocks. Points split into two isolated banks of eight, separating field wiring groups to limit fault propagation across the I/O rack. Each channel has a dedicated LED for quick point status verification, and the module draws operating power directly from the VersaMax backplane. It supports hot-swap removal on compatible carriers. Manufacturing sites keep this spare to avoid extended downtime while reviewing legacy PLC migration.
- Best Suited For
- Assembly line VersaMax PLC discrete sensing racks
- 120VAC limit switch and auxiliary contact signal collection
- Direct drop-in replacement for existing IC200MDL240 series hardware

Field Engineer’s Tech Notes
- Verify group common wiring before power-up. The two 8-point banks share separate common terminals; cross-wiring commons creates unexpected point activation and corrupts I/O mapping.
- Hot swap is allowed only when the carrier and CPU firmware support live insertion. Older VersaMax firmware versions can trigger backplane resets during module exchange.
Adaptive QA & Testing Protocol
Each unit mounts to a VersaMax carrier and backplane test fixture. We apply 120VAC to each input channel sequentially to confirm LED activation and correct point register readback in the PLC. We test both input groups independently to validate isolation between banks. Backplane current draw is measured at operating state. Full test reports or bench test video clips are available upon request.
Buyer’s FAQ
Q: What does the J-1000 suffix signify on IC200MDL240J-1000? A: The suffix denotes hardware revision and manufacturing batch variant. Core function and pinout match the base IC200MDL240 for drop-in replacement, but confirm your existing module’s marking.
Q: What warranty applies for refurbished and NSFP IC200MDL240J-1000? A: Refurbished and NSFP units carry a 12-month hardware warranty. Coverage excludes damage from overvoltage or miswiring of AC field circuits.
Q: What lead time should I expect? A: Stocked units ship 3–7 business days. If inventory is depleted, lead time increases while we source available surplus I/O modules.
Q: Can this module read 240VAC field signals? A: No. It is rated for nominal 120VAC only. Use IC200MDL241 for 240VAC discrete input applications.
