1.5 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.
Refer to the VersaMax Modules, Power Supplies, and Carriers User Manual (GFK-1504)
for information about VersaMax I/O Carriers.
Terminal-style I/O carriers have 36 individual terminals for direct connection of field
wiring. Auxiliary I/O Terminal Strips are available for applications requiring additional
wiring terminals.
