Product Overview

The GE Intelligent Platforms IC200UEX624-C is a VersaMax Micro series programmable logic controller, offering a compact, all-in-one solution for small to medium-scale automation applications. This CPU unit integrates 28 I/O points, combining both AC and DC input types with relay outputs, making it flexible for mixed signal environments. The VersaMax Micro PLC is designed for applications such as packaging machines, conveyor controls, building automation, and industrial ovens. It is part of the GE Fanuc automation portfolio, known for reliability and ease of programming.

Key Features of IC200UEX624-C

The controller includes a mix of input types: typically 16 inputs (12 V DC, 24 V DC, or 120 V AC) and 12 outputs (relay, 2 A). The specific configuration is 14 AC/DC inputs and 14 relay outputs, or 28 total points as per the model designation. The inputs are isolated and can accept both DC and AC signals for flexibility. The relay outputs are suitable for switching AC or DC loads up to 2 A per point. The CPU includes an RS-232 port for programming and connection to HMIs. An optional RS-485 port is available for Modbus RTU networking.

The IC200UEX624-C has a program memory of 10K words and data memory of 10K words. The controller supports ladder logic programming using GE's Proficy Machine Edition software. It includes 32-bit floating-point math and PID capabilities. The unit has a built-in real-time clock for scheduling and event logging. Diagnostic LEDs provide status for power, run, and fault conditions. The controller is powered by 120/240 V AC or 24 V DC, depending on the model variant. It is DIN rail mountable and has an operating temperature range of 0 to 60°C. The unit is CE and UL certified.

Functional Description

The IC200UEX624-C executes the user's ladder logic program in a cyclic scan. Inputs are read, logic solved, and outputs updated. The mixed AC/DC input capability allows direct connection of both 24 V DC sensors and 120 V AC limit switches without additional interface relays. The relay outputs can switch AC or DC loads, making the PLC suitable for machine control with mixed voltage devices. The RS-232 port is used for program upload/download and online monitoring. The optional RS-485 port can communicate with Modbus RTU devices such as drives and meters. The real-time clock can be used for time-based process control.

Applications

The GE IC200UEX624-C is used in small packaging machines, conveyor control systems, HVAC control panels, industrial oven controls, and building automation systems where mixed input voltages and relay outputs are required.
