Description
Product Overview
The IC200UEX214 is a VersaMax discrete I/O expansion module designed to extend the input and output capacity of GE Fanuc Micro PLC systems. It provides additional field signal handling capability while maintaining consistent 24 VDC signal standards across all channels.
This module is typically used in applications where the base PLC requires increased I/O density without replacing the main controller.
Functional Description
The unit expands system capacity by adding:
All signals operate at 24 VDC, ensuring direct compatibility with standard industrial sensors, switches, and actuators. The module communicates with the main PLC via the VersaMax backplane architecture.

System Architecture
The module operates as a rack-mounted expansion node, synchronizing with the PLC CPU through internal communication channels. It does not require separate programming and inherits configuration directly from the master controller.
This architecture allows scalable system design while maintaining consistent scan performance across distributed I/O points.
Electrical Characteristics
All input and output circuits are designed for 24 VDC operation, providing compatibility with standard industrial control devices. Internal isolation ensures signal stability between field wiring and system logic.
Power is drawn from the main system supply, eliminating the need for external power modules.
Typical Applications
-
Machine I/O expansion for compact PLC systems
-
Conveyor and material handling systems
-
Packaging machinery control extensions
-
Auxiliary control panels in OEM equipment
-
Process monitoring systems requiring additional discrete points
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Can this module operate independently without a PLC CPU?
No. It must be connected to a VersaMax Micro PLC controller.
Q2: How many expansion modules can be added?
Up to four expansion units can typically be connected depending on system configuration.
Q3: Are the inputs and outputs isolated?
Yes. Signal isolation is implemented to improve noise immunity and system reliability.
Q4: Does it require separate programming?
No. It is automatically managed by the host PLC configuration.
