Carriers
Carriers provide mounting, backplane communications, and field wiring
connections for all types of VersaMax modules. I/O modules can be installed on
carriers or removed without disturbing field wiring.
There are three basic I/O Carrier types:
S Terminal-style I/O carriers. Modules mount parallel to the DIN rail.
S Compact Terminal-style I/O Carriers. Modules mount perpendicular to the DIN
rail.
S Connector-style I/O Carriers. Modules mount perpendicular to the DIN rail.
These carriers are normally used with Interposing I/O Terminals as illustrated
below.
See the VersaMax Modules, Power Supplies, and Carriers User’s Manual (GFK-
1504) for information about VersaMax I/O Carriers and Terminal Strips.
