MeloAuto-Trusted PLC & DCS Parts Supplier
Engineered for GE VersaMax Micro PLC Systems
This expansion module adds mixed I/O points to a VersaMax Micro PLC. It provides additional control capacity for the GE IC200UEX014-B unit. You will find this expander in small to medium automation systems. Unlike standalone I/O modules, this unit connects directly to the Micro PLC via ribbon cable. It offers 14 points of mixed input and output functionality.

Functional Architecture and I/O Distribution
This expansion module connects to the VersaMax Micro CPU via a 20-pin ribbon cable. It uses eight inputs for sensor monitoring and six outputs for actuator control. You can mount up to 4 expansion modules per Micro PLC. Moreover, the module includes a removable terminal block for field wiring. This component simplifies module replacement without rewiring field devices. Consequently, the system reduces maintenance downtime significantly.
Installation and Operational Guidelines
The GE IC200UEX014-B consumes 80 mA at 5V DC from the expansion bus. It scans all 14 I/O points every 2 milliseconds. You must set the expansion address using the onboard DIP switch. Always use shielded cables for input runs longer than 30 meters. This practice prevents false triggering from electrical noise. Furthermore, the module includes diagnostic LEDs for power and I/O status. This feature provides immediate visual feedback for troubleshooting.
Physical Characteristics and Environmental Limits
This expansion module has a compact, industrial-grade plastic housing. Its lightweight 0.24 kg design allows for easy DIN rail mounting. The layout follows GE standard VersaMax Micro specifications. Therefore, it fits securely alongside the main CPU unit. The module requires 65mm clearance above for wiring access. In addition, it maintains stable operation between 0°C and 55°C ambient temperature. You can store this unit safely between -20°C and 85°C.
