ALLEN BRADLEY / GE FANUC VERSAMAX IC200UER008-A VersaMax Micro Relay Output Expansion Module

OverviewGE FANUC VERSAMAX IC200UER008-A is an 8-point relay output expansion module for the GE Fanuc VersaMax Micro PLC family, suffix A indicates the hardware revision level. GE FANUC VERSAMAX IC200UER008-A connects to the VersaMax Micro CPU via the dedicated expansion bus to add discrete relay output channels. It provides 8 normally open relay outputs, capable of switching AC or DC loads for solenoid valves, contactors, indicators and alarm devices. This module is designed to work with VersaMax Micro controllers such as IC200UDR005 and other compatible CPU units, expanding the total I/O capacity of the control system. It is widely used for small machine automation, packaging equipment, water treatment skids and auxiliary control systems. As a legacy discontinued part, GE FANUC VERSAMAX IC200UER008-A is commonly stocked as a maintenance spare for existing VersaMax Micro installations.

FeaturesGE FANUC VERSAMAX IC200UER008-A adopts compact DIN rail form factor, matching the mechanical size of other VersaMax Micro expansion modules. The VersaMax Micro Relay Output Expansion Module uses isolated relay contacts, which offer flexible load compatibility independent of PLC logic voltage. Each channel has status LED for quick visual diagnosis of output state. The expansion bus enables hot connection with the host CPU for easy system extension. It supports standard programming through Proficy Machine Edition and VersaPro software. The module has built-in circuit protection and meets industrial EMC requirements for workshop environments. GE FANUC VERSAMAX IC200UER008-A can be mixed with digital input and analog expansion modules to build customized I/O configurations.

SpecsGE FANUC VERSAMAX IC200UER008-A 8-point relay expansion module. The VersaMax Micro Relay Output Expansion Module output type: 8 × NO relay outputs. Rated contact load: 2A per point resistive load. Interface: VersaMax Micro expansion bus. Mounting: DIN rail mounting. Revision: A. Compatibility: VersaMax Micro CPU series. Lifecycle: discontinued. It is stocked as discrete output expansion spare.

Operating ParametersGE FANUC VERSAMAX IC200UER008-A supply power is sourced from the host Micro controller expansion bus. The VersaMax Micro Relay Output Expansion Module ambient operating temperature: 0℃ ~ +55℃. Relative humidity: 5%~95% non-condensing. Protection class: IP20. Storage temperature: -40℃ ~ +85℃. EMC: comply with industrial IEC standards.

PrincipleGE FANUC VERSAMAX IC200UER008-A receives output commands from the VersaMax Micro CPU through the expansion bus. The VersaMax Micro Relay Output Expansion Module drives internal relay coils to close or open the dry contacts according to the logic state. The contact terminals switch external field loads separated from the control logic circuit. The module continuously communicates status back to the CPU for fault and channel diagnostics. When overloaded or relay burnout occurs, GE FANUC VERSAMAX IC200UER008-A will lose output control and require replacement.

ApplicationsGE FANUC VERSAMAX IC200UER008-A is widely deployed in packaging machines, material handling conveyors, small pump and fan control, furnace auxiliary control and general standalone automation skids. The VersaMax Micro Relay Output Expansion Module undertakes switching control of valves, contactors, lights and audible alarms. It cooperates with the VersaMax Micro CPU and other expansion modules to expand the system discrete output capacity. GE FANUC VERSAMAX IC200UER008-A is a preferred spare for legacy VersaMax Micro system upgrade and replacement.
