The GE Fanuc IC200UEX212 is a VersaMax Micro PLC Expansion Unit designed to enhance the capabilities of your automation system. Operating on 24V DC power, this unit features a total of 28 points comprising sixteen DC inputs and twelve relay outputs, each rated for 2A with a normally-open configuration. It is essential that the power supply for this expansion unit maintains sufficient transient current capability to support the initial inrush current while delivering a stable 24V DC voltage. This power source also provides 7.5 mA per input for the DC input circuits, but users must ensure that the total current drawn does not exceed 200 mA when powering both input devices and external loads. The input points can be configured for positive or negative logic, accommodating a variety of input devices such as limit switches, electronic proximity switches, and pushbuttons. The relay outputs are versatile in controlling different load devices, including solenoids, indicators, and motor starters. The IC200UEX212 requires an external AC or DC power supply to operate these field devices effectively. As part of the VersaMax family, this compact expansion unit supports a range of programmable logic controllers (PLCs), from the small Nano PLCs with 10 points to the larger Micro Plus PLCs offering up to 320 I/O points, making it an ideal solution for applications in packaging and dispensing machinery.
