Product Overview
When a VersaMax Micro system runs out of I/O mid-project, the fastest fix is a discrete expansion unit that snaps into the existing architecture. The IC200UEX014 from GE Fanuc / GE Intelligent Platforms does exactly that. This 14-point unit adds 8x 24 VDC inputs and 6x 24 VDC outputs, powered by a 24 VDC supply and linked through the VersaMax Micro expansion cable.
Emerson now owns the line, and official production status is unverified. Units remain available through aftermarket channels, so buyers can still support installed systems without a full controller migration.

What the I/O Count Means in Practice
The 8-input / 6-output split fits mixed sensing and switching tasks. Inputs accept 24 VDC discrete signals from proximity sensors, pushbuttons, and limit switches. Outputs drive 24 VDC loads such as relays, indicator lamps, and small solenoid valves. Fourteen points is enough to extend a machine station without buying a second controller.
Power and Environment
A single 24 VDC supply feeds the unit, matching the control voltage already common in VersaMax Micro panels. The 0 to +60°C ambient rating covers most industrial cabinets, while the -40 to +85°C storage range supports spare stocking in unheated warehouses.
Where the IC200UEX014 Fits
Packaging and Material Handling
Adding photo-eye inputs and diverter outputs to an existing VersaMax Micro line is a classic use case. The expansion cable keeps wiring short and the panel footprint unchanged.
Oil and Gas Skids
Pump and valve monitoring on remote skids often needs a handful of extra discrete points. This unit extends the controller without a full I/O rack, which keeps retrofit cost and downtime low.
Water Treatment Panels
Level switches and pump status contacts map cleanly onto the 8 inputs, while the 6 outputs handle alarm lamps and small actuators.
Integration Notes
The IC200UEX014 connects to the host controller only through the VersaMax Micro expansion cable. It does not join a fieldbus network on its own, so any networked architecture must be handled by the main controller. Confirm cable length and gateway requirements with your supplier before ordering.
Selection Checklist
Before you buy, verify the host CPU is a VersaMax Micro model with an available expansion port. Confirm your field devices operate at 24 VDC and that your cabinet stays within the 0 to +60°C ambient range. Please verify current lifecycle status and availability with Oil AutoTech before ordering, since Emerson production status is unverified.
