GE IC200UEX211-B VersaMax Micro Expansion Unit
The GE Fanuc IC200UEX211-B, also cataloged as the IC200UEX211 Micro PLC Expansion Unit, operates as a dedicated hardware component for extending discrete I/O signal capacity within VersaMax Micro PLC platforms. The expansion unit processes 16 discrete 24 VDC input points and drives 12 SPST Form A relay output circuits directly through local bus connection to a main VersaMax Micro controller base, drawing primary line power from an integrated 100-240 VAC power stage.

Backplane Bus Communication Velocity and Firmware Compatibility
The expansion module maintains local backplane bus communication velocity across adjacent micro bases by using high-speed serial bus drivers over the interconnect ribbon interface. Internal hardware logic verifies controller firmware flash compatibility upon rack initialization, allowing seamless logical address allocation for up to 4 expansion modules attached to a single VersaMax Micro CPU. Configurable input filter settings permit engineers to adjust signal propagation speeds between 0.5 ms and 20 ms to filter out mechanical contact bounce.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What power options are available on the module for driving field sensors and contact inputs?
A: The expansion unit features an integrated auxiliary DC supply providing +24 VDC at up to 200 mA. This regulated output powers dry contacts, proximity switches, and 2-wire sensors without requiring an external DC power supply.
Q: How do status LEDs indicate channel switching and operational conditions?
A: Individual green LEDs display real-time logic states for all 16 inputs and 12 relay outputs. Additionally, the green OK LED indicates backplane communication health, while the FLD PWR LED confirms active auxiliary power availability.
Q: What are the installation restrictions when using this module in Class I, Div 2 hazardous environments?
A: Main AC utility power and external field wiring must be de-energized prior to connecting conductors or servicing the module. Connecting or disconnecting wiring under active load creates electrical arcing risks in explosive gas atmospheres.
Field Installation Guidelines
Mount the expansion module adjacent to the primary VersaMax Micro PLC on a grounded 35 mm DIN rail or fasten it to a steel panel enclosure using mounting hardware. Connect the expansion interconnect cable firmly between the CPU side port and the expansion module input receptacle to establish backplane continuity.
Route 100-240 VAC primary power lines and high-voltage AC relay output wiring through dedicated channels separate from low-voltage DC input signals. Maintain a minimum physical distance of 200 mm between AC load conductors and DC sensor cables to minimize inductive noise coupling. Ensure the ground terminal on the carrier frame connects directly to the central cabinet earth bar using a heavy copper braid or wire.
