Operating from an external 24 VDC power connection with a nominal 4 W power rating, the unit processes 8 discrete input channels at 24 VDC while supplying an integrated 24 VDC user output rated at 200 mA to power auxiliary field sensors. Up to 4 expansion modules can be attached to a single VersaMax Micro PLC base, extending discrete signal density across localized equipment racks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHardware Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cfigure class=\"table\"\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eParameter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecification\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIC200UEI008\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGeneral Electric\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOrigin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUSA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.91 kg (2.00 lbs)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e95 mm x 90 mm x 76 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOperating Temp\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e-20 to 60 deg C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePower Consumption\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4 W\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePrimary Power Input\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e24 VDC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInput Channel Count\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8 points\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDiscrete Input Voltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e24 VDC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAuxiliary User Power\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e24 VDC at 200 mA (for field sensors)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eExpansion Capacity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 4 units per Micro PLC base\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStorage Temperature\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e-40 to 85 deg C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHigh-Density Backplane Bus Processing \u0026amp; I\/O Density Scaling\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe IC200UEI008 expands local channel capacity without reducing backplane bus communication velocity across attached VersaMax processing nodes. Through deterministic I\/O density scaling, discrete field states from all 8 input channels are digitized and passed directly over the local expansion ribbon interface to the primary CPU. Firmware flash compatibility within the main processing unit maintains synchronized image table updating across all attached expansion stages, ensuring state retention during transient DC power sags.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQ: How many IC200UEI008 expansion units can be connected to a single VersaMax Micro controller base?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: A maximum of four expansion units can be daisy-chained to a single VersaMax Micro PLC base via the dedicated expansion bus interface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eQ: What is the maximum current capacity provided by the onboard 24 VDC auxiliary user power output?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: The auxiliary user output provides up to 200 mA at 24 VDC to directly power connected field devices and input sensors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eQ: What operating ambient temperature range is supported by the IC200UEI008?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: The unit is rated for continuous operation across an ambient thermal envelope of -20 to 60 deg C.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eField Installation Guidelines\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePower Isolation\u003c\/strong\u003e: Disconnect main 24 VDC primary power from the controller base and auxiliary field loops before attaching or removing expansion hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExpansion Interconnect\u003c\/strong\u003e: Connect the expansion ribbon cable firmly between the expansion bus connector of the main Micro PLC base and the input bus port of the IC200UEI008 module.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDIN Rail Mounting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Align the module housing with a standard 35 mm DIN rail and press until the locking tabs snap cleanly into place.
