1.9 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:
•
Terminal-style I/O carriers. Modules mount parallel to the DIN rail.
•
Compact Terminal-style I/O Carriers. Modules mount perpendicular
to the DIN rail.
•
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. Other terminal types are also
available.
See the VersaMax Modules, Power Supplies, and Carriers User’s Manual
(GFK-1504) for information about VersaMax I/O Carriers and Terminal
Strips.
