What Is the IC200PWB001B Power Supply Booster Carrier?
How do you keep a dense VersaMax rack powered without adding another carrier slot? The IC200PWB001B answers that question. This GE Fanuc / GE Intelligent Platforms booster carrier supplies power to all modules to the right of the booster. Emerson, the current owner of the VersaMax line, designed it to sit alongside a power supply module. The booster itself does not count as a carrier in the 8-carrier limit, so you extend power reach without sacrificing I/O capacity.
This compact unit measures 133.4 × 49 × 39 mm (excluding carrier and DIN-rail height). It fits neatly into control cabinets where space is tight. If you run oil, gas, or industrial automation systems, this booster carrier keeps your VersaMax rack fully powered and ready.

Key Parameters Explained
The carrier type matters most. Because the booster does not count toward the 8-carrier limit, you can expand a VersaMax system without losing a slot for I/O or specialty modules. The function line is equally important: it powers every module to its right. That means you must install it correctly within the rack to maintain power continuity. The 133.4 × 49 × 39 mm footprint keeps cabinet space efficient. Note that a power supply module is required for operation. Without one, the booster cannot deliver power. Weight is not available in our data, so please confirm physical details with our team if needed.
VersaMax Integration and Practical Applications
This booster carrier belongs to the VersaMax series, a platform widely used in oil and gas, water treatment, and factory automation. In a typical scenario, a VersaMax rack grows beyond the reach of a single power supply. Instead of adding another rack, you install the IC200PWB001B booster carrier. It extends power to modules on the right, keeping your I/O dense and your cabinet compact. For oil and gas applications, this means reliable power distribution in remote wellhead panels or pipeline control rooms. The compact dimensions suit skids and tight enclosures.
When integrating into a VersaMax system, always pair the booster with a compatible power supply module. The booster does not generate power on its own. Confirm the power supply model matches your rack configuration. If you are upgrading an existing GE Fanuc installation, the IC200PWB001B offers a practical replacement path. Our team at Oil AutoTech provides hands-on technical selection help to ensure you get the right booster for your setup.
Installation and Maintenance Guidance
Mount the booster carrier on a standard DIN rail within your cabinet. Ensure it sits to the left of the modules it will power, because it supplies power to all modules to the right. Verify that a power supply module is installed and connected. Follow all manufacturer wiring diagrams and safety guidelines. Do not attempt internal repairs.
For maintenance, inspect periodically for loose connections, dust buildup, and signs of overheating. Keep the cabinet environment within the operating limits of your overall VersaMax system. Because official production status is unverified, please verify current lifecycle status and availability with Oil AutoTech before ordering.
