GE IC200MDD847 Mixed I/O Module for VersaMax Systems
Product Introduction
The IC200MDD847 mixed I/O module comes from GE Fanuc and belongs to the VersaMax product line. It combines discrete inputs and relay outputs in a single device. Specifically, the module offers 16 I/O points divided into 8 inputs and 8 outputs. This layout saves panel space and simplifies wiring for machine builders.
The input points use sourcing or positive logic operation. Unlike many DC input modules, these inputs accept AC signals. Meanwhile, the output points use Form A relay contacts. Every output channel is individually isolated on a channel-to-channel basis. As a result, the module suits applications that mix different field voltages or require electrical separation between loads.

The on-state input voltage ranges from 155 to 264 V AC. In the off state, the voltage stays between 0 and 40 V AC. When attached devices are on, the module draws a minimum current of 4 mA. Meanwhile, the off-state current measures 1.5 mA. Each relay output point can drive a current of 2 A. Additionally, the module supports 8 bits of discrete I/O data.
Control and Protection Notes
A CPU or Network Interface Unit must process the data from the IC200MDD847. The module cannot operate as a standalone device. Therefore, users should confirm their VersaMax configuration includes the right controller or interface unit.
The module does not include internal fuses or snubbers for point protection. Moreover, it does not support thermal derating. Consequently, external protection may be necessary when switching inductive loads. Engineers should also verify that the panel temperature stays within safe limits. These precautions protect the relay contacts and extend module life.
Power Consumption Details
The IC200MDD847 receives power from a 5 V backplane source. From this supply, it consumes a maximum current of 300 mA. The actual draw increases according to the number of activated output points. Therefore, panels with many energized relays may need extra power budgeting.
External output devices require a separate field supply. The backplane only powers the module logic. Besides, proper grounding reduces electrical noise and improves signal integrity. Keep input and output wiring separated inside the cabinet. These practices help maintain stable operation in industrial environments.
Mechanical and Environmental Parameters
The IC200MDD847 uses the standard VersaMax form factor. Its approximate dimensions measure 2.63 x 4.3 x 1.956 inches. However, these figures exclude connectors and carrier bases. The compact housing fits tight panel layouts and saves valuable cabinet space.
The module mounts on a carrier base inside a control cabinet. Allow adequate airflow around the unit for stable thermal performance. Also, keep the cabinet within recommended temperature and humidity limits. Proper installation reduces the risk of overheating and signal faults. As a result, the module delivers reliable service over a long operational life.
Installation Guide
First, turn off all power before mounting the IC200MDD847 module. Next, attach the unit to its VersaMax carrier base. Then, slide the assembly onto the DIN rail until it locks. After that, connect the field wiring to the correct terminals. Remember that one group holds 8 inputs and one group holds 8 outputs.
Furthermore, use wiring rated for the relay contact load. Keep AC input cables away from low-level signal lines. Meanwhile, verify the input voltage stays within the 155 to 264 V AC range. Finally, apply power and check the LED indicators. Confirm that each channel responds correctly before full operation.
