GE IC800SSI228RD2‑CE Discrete I/O Module

The GE IC800SSI228RD2‑CE is a high‑density mixed digital I/O module of the VersaMax distributed I/O system. It combines 16 digital inputs and 12 digital outputs on a single unit, realizing signal collection and field actuator driving for GE PACSystems and VersaMax PLC automation racks.

This rack‑mounted I/O module adopts optical isolation and point‑by‑point LED status indication, with CE certification for European industrial applications. Original production has been discontinued. It is widely supplied as aftermarket spare parts for machinery, packaging and material‑handling automation cabinet maintenance and upgrade.
