Product Overview
When a process signal drops out, production does not wait. The IC200UEX636 is a VersaMax Micro analog expansion module from GE Fanuc, now owned by Emerson. It adds four analog inputs and two analog outputs to a VersaMax system, so mixed-signal control stays inside one compact platform. The module measures 90 x 76 x 150 mm and runs in ambient temperatures from 0 to +60°C. If you are replacing a failed analog card or building a spare kit, this module is a practical, ready-to-ship option.
Key Parameters That Matter
12-Bit Resolution Across Every Channel
All four inputs and two outputs convert at 12-bit resolution. That gives you 4,096 counts across the configured range, enough for flow, pressure, level and temperature loops where fine steps matter.
Flexible Input Ranges
Each analog input accepts 0 to 10.23 VDC or +/-10.23 VDC, plus 0 to 20.47 mA and 4 to 20 mA current loops. One module therefore covers voltage transmitters and standard current-loop instruments without extra signal conditioners.
Two Analog Outputs
The two output channels drive final control elements such as positioners, drives or recorders. Combined with the four inputs, the IC200UEX636 supports small closed-loop tasks directly at the rack.
Environmental Envelope
Operation is rated from 0 to +60°C ambient, with storage from -40 to +85°C. That suits most control rooms and sheltered cabinets in oil, gas and process plants.
Where It Fits in the Field
- Oil and gas metering skids: 4 to 20 mA transmitters feed the four inputs while the outputs trim a control valve.
- Water and wastewater: level and pressure loops use the voltage ranges; the outputs drive pump speed references.
- Packaging and material handling: load cells and temperature sensors share one module, cutting spare-part count.
Comparison With Other Analog Options
| Feature | IC200UEX636 | Typical 4-channel analog module | Typical 8-channel analog module |
|---|---|---|---|
| Analog inputs | 4 | 4 | 8 |
| Analog outputs | 2 | 0 | 0 |
| Resolution | 12-bit | 12-bit | 12-bit |
| Input ranges | Voltage and current | Voltage or current | Voltage or current |
| Footprint | 90 x 76 x 150 mm | Similar | Larger |
If your application needs both inputs and outputs in one slot, the IC200UEX636 removes a separate output card from the bill of materials.
Installation and Setup Notes
Mount the module in the VersaMax rack and follow the manufacturer’s wiring diagrams for channel assignment. Keep analog signal cables away from high-voltage switching lines to reduce noise. Confirm the input range jumper or configuration matches each transmitter before power-up. Verify current lifecycle status and availability with Oil AutoTech before ordering.
Maintenance and Reliability
Inspect terminal connections periodically and check for heat buildup around the rack. Keep cabinet filters clean so ambient stays inside the 0 to +60°C rating. Because the module is an aftermarket item, hold one spare on the shelf; fast dispatch, worldwide, keeps a failed loop from becoming a lost shift.
Selection Checklist
Before you buy, confirm the VersaMax series, the number of analog points required, and whether your transmitters are voltage or current type. The IC200UEX636 covers all four input ranges listed above. Contact Oil AutoTech today for pricing and availability.
