Compatible Replacement & Equivalent Models
If the IC200UDR005-BD is unavailable or discontinued in your region, the following models offer functional equivalence or drop-in compatibility:
- IC200UDR005 — Base variant without the -BD suffix (same I/O, verify firmware revision)
- IC200UDR020 — 20-point DC/relay VersaMax Micro; upward-compatible with expanded I/O
- IC200UDR040 — 40-point version for larger applications requiring the same relay output type
- IC200UAL005 — AC-powered variant; same 14-point layout, different power supply
- Emerson IC200UDR005-BD — Rebranded equivalent after GE Automation & Controls acquisition
- Siemens SIMATIC S7-1200 CPU 1211C — Cross-brand alternative for new designs (requires reprogramming)
- Mitsubishi FX3U-16MR/ES — Cross-brand relay output alternative with comparable I/O count
Note: Always verify I/O count, power supply voltage, and communication protocol before substituting. Contact support@konmask.com for compatibility confirmation.

Selection Guide
Use the table below to select the right VersaMax Micro model for your application:
- 14-pt DC input / Relay output / 24 VDC power → IC200UDR005-BD ✓ (this model)
- 14-pt DC input / Relay output / 120 VAC power → IC200UAL005
- 20-pt DC input / Relay output / 24 VDC power → IC200UDR020
- 28-pt DC input / Transistor output / 24 VDC power → IC200UDD020
- 40-pt DC input / Relay output / 24 VDC power → IC200UDR040
Key selection criteria: total I/O count, output type (relay vs. transistor), power supply voltage, and required communication ports.

Replacement & Compatibility FAQ
Q: Is IC200UDR005 the same as IC200UDR005-BD?
A: The -BD suffix typically denotes a specific firmware or hardware revision. Functionally they are equivalent in most applications, but verify the revision level with your OEM documentation before substituting.
Q: Can I replace IC200UDR005-BD with a Siemens or Mitsubishi PLC?
A: Yes, but it requires reprogramming in the target platform’s software. Cross-brand replacements are suitable for new designs, not direct drop-in retrofits.
Q: Does this controller support Ethernet communication?
A: Not natively. Ethernet connectivity requires an external serial-to-Ethernet gateway or the IC200USB001 adapter with a PC-based OPC server.
Q: What programming cable is required?
A: Use the IC690ACC901 RS-232 cable or a compatible USB-to-serial adapter with the Proficy Machine Edition software.
Q: Is this model still in production?
A: GE Automation & Controls (now Emerson) has transitioned some VersaMax Micro variants to end-of-life. Konmask.com maintains stock of new and refurbished units to support legacy installations.
