GE IC800SS1228R02-CE Plug-and-Play Output Interface for Packaging, Material Handling & HVAC

The GE IC800SS1228R02-CE is a 16-channel digital output (DO) module designed for the GE Fanuc (now Emerson) VersaMax™ I/O system. Engineered for industrial control applications, it provides sourcing-type transistor outputs rated for 24 V DC operation, capable of driving loads such as relays, solenoid valves, indicator lamps, and small motor starters. With CE certification, robust diagnostics, and seamless integration into VersaMax racks, the IC800SS1228R02-CE delivers reliable, high-density switching performance in factory automation, process control, and machinery systems worldwide.


Application Scenarios

At an automotive parts stamping facility in Michigan,a legacy VersaMax-based press line used relay-based output modules that frequently failed due to contact arcing from inductive solenoid loads.Maintenance engineers replaced them with the GE IC800SS1228R02-CE,leveraging its solid-state transistor outputs and built-in flyback protection.The new module controlled 16 hydraulic valve coils per station with zero contact wear,while per-channel LEDs enabled rapid troubleshooting during changeovers.Over 18 months,unplanned downtime dropped by 65%,and spare part inventory was simplified—thanks to the IC800SS1228R02-CE’s reliability and standardized form factor across the plant’s 30+VersaMax racks.

Parameter

Main Parameters Value/Description

Product Model GE IC800SS1228R02-CE

Manufacturer GE Fanuc Automation→now part of Emerson(under PACSystems/VersaMax portfolio)

Product Category Digital Output(DO)Module/I/O Expansion Card

Compatible System GE VersaMax™I/O Family(supports Genius I/O,Ethernet Global Data,or standalone racks)

Number of Outputs 16 channels

Output Type Sourcing NPN transistor(switches positive 24 V DC to load;load connected to common 0 V)

Output Voltage 24 V DC nominal(range:20.4–28.8 V DC)

Max Load Current 0.5 A per channel,4 A total per module

Surge Current Up to 2 A for 100 ms(for inductive load turn-on)

Electrical Isolation 500 V AC between field and logic circuits

Diagnostics Red/green LED per channel(ON=output active;fault indication via system CPU)

Mounting Snap-in to standard VersaMax base units(e.g.,IC200CHSxxx)

Certifications CE,RoHS compliant

Operating Temperature 0°C to+60°C

🔹Note:Despite the”SS”in the model(often associated with sinking),the IC800SS1228R02-CE is a sourcing output module.Always verify wiring diagrams—load connects between output terminal and 0 V DC common.

Technical Principles and Innovative Values

Innovation Point 1:Solid-State Reliability for Inductive Loads–Unlike electromechanical relays,the IC800SS1228R02-CE uses protected transistors with integrated clamping diodes,eliminating contact bounce and extending service life in high-cycle applications like pneumatic sorting or conveyor indexing.

Innovation Point 2:Seamless VersaMax Ecosystem Integration–The module auto-configures when inserted into a VersaMax rack—no DIP switches or address settings required.It appears instantly in Proficy Machine Edition(PME)for tag assignment and diagnostics.

Innovation Point 3:Real-Time Channel Monitoring–Each output features a bi-color LED:green indicates power present,red indicates active output state—allowing technicians to verify logic vs.field behavior without multimeters.

Innovation Point 4:CE Compliance for Global Deployment–The”-CE”suffix confirms compliance with EU EMC and low-voltage directives,enabling use in European machinery without additional certification hurdles.

Application Cases and Industry Value

In a Spanish bottled water plant,the GE IC800SS1228R02-CE controls labeling applicators,cap feeders,and reject gates on a high-speed bottling line running at 24,000 bottles/hour.Previously,mechanical output cards caused misfires during label placement due to slow switching.After upgrading to the IC800SS1228R02-CE,response time improved to<100µs,eliminating mislabels.The plant achieved 99.98%OEE on the line and reduced electrical cabinet heat generation—since solid-state outputs dissipate less power than relays.Maintenance staff now perform monthly visual checks using the front-panel LEDs,cutting diagnostic time by 90%.
