Product Overview
Running out of I/O mid-project stalls commissioning and burns engineering hours. The IC200UEX011-B from GE Fanuc / GE Intelligent Platforms solves that problem directly. This VersaMax Micro 14-point discrete expansion unit adds 8x 24 VDC inputs and 6x relay outputs to an existing VersaMax Micro controller. It connects through the VersaMax Micro expansion cable, so you extend the system without replacing the base unit. Emerson, as current owner, continues to support the VersaMax line.
Technical Specifications
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| I/O Points | 14 (8x 24 VDC inputs, 6x relay outputs) |
| Output Type | Relay, 2 A contact rating |
| Power Supply | 120/240 VAC |
| Expansion Connection | VersaMax Micro expansion cable |
| Operating Temperature | 0 to +60°C ambient |
| Storage Temperature | -40 to +85°C |
The 24 VDC input count fits standard field sensor and switch levels, so most existing wiring drops in without level conversion. The 2 A relay contacts switch pilot devices and small loads directly, which cuts the need for interposing relays. The 120/240 VAC supply matches common control panel feeds, and the 0 to +60°C ambient rating covers typical cabinet conditions.
Where This Unit Fits
Machine builders use this expansion block when a panel needs a handful of extra discrete points after the base Micro PLC is already installed. In oil and gas skids, the 24 VDC inputs read valve position and pressure switch contacts, while the relay outputs drive alarms and small solenoid pilots. Water treatment and packaging lines follow the same pattern: add points, keep the existing controller, avoid a full rack replacement.
Installation Notes
Mount the unit beside the base controller and link it with the VersaMax Micro expansion cable. Keep AC supply wiring separated from low-level input runs to reduce electrical noise. Confirm panel ventilation holds ambient temperature within the 0 to +60°C range. Verify input polarity and output load current against the 2 A contact rating before power-up.
Reliability and Maintenance
Relay contacts are the main wear item. Inspect them periodically if they switch inductive loads, and check terminal torque during routine panel service. The wide -40 to +85°C storage range supports spare stock in unheated stores. Please verify current lifecycle status and availability with Oil AutoTech before ordering.
Integration and Selection
This module works only with VersaMax Micro controllers through the dedicated expansion cable. Buyers should confirm base controller compatibility, total expansion cable length, and the number of existing expansion units before purchase. Oil AutoTech offers hands-on technical selection help and fast-dispatch spares for oil, gas and industrial automation. Contact Oil AutoTech today for pricing and availability.
