Why Engineers Specify This Model
- Relay-Isolated Outputs — Galvanic isolation between PLC logic and field devices eliminates ground loop interference and protects the CPU from inductive load transients
- Mixed AC/DC Flexibility — A single module handles both 24 VDC sensors and 120/240 VAC actuators, reducing panel wiring complexity and BOM count
- 28-Point Density — High I/O count in a compact footprint minimizes panel real estate while maximizing control capacity
- Plug-and-Play Expansion — Direct backplane connection to VersaMax Micro CPUs (IC200UDR series) requires no additional interface hardware
- Proven Reliability — Relay contact life rated for millions of operations under resistive load; field-proven in 24/7 industrial environments
- Simplified Commissioning — LED status indicators per output point enable rapid fault isolation during startup and maintenance

Application-Specific FAQ
Q: Can the IC200UEX211-C be used with VersaMax Nano CPUs?
A: No. The IC200UEX211-C is designed exclusively for the VersaMax Micro expansion bus. VersaMax Nano CPUs (IC200UDD series) do not support external expansion modules.
Q: How many IC200UEX211-C modules can be connected to a single CPU?
A: VersaMax Micro CPUs support up to 4 expansion modules, subject to power budget constraints. Verify total I/O count and power draw against your CPU’s expansion capacity.
Q: Are the relay outputs rated for inductive loads (motors, solenoids)?
A: Yes, with derating. For inductive AC loads, apply a suppression snubber (RC network) across the load. For DC inductive loads, use a flyback diode. Consult GE datasheet GFK-1504 for derating curves.
Q: What programming software is required?
A: Proficy Machine Edition (PME) by GE/Emerson is the standard programming environment. The IC200UEX211-C is auto-configured by the CPU upon power-up; no separate module configuration is required in most applications.
Q: Is the “-C” suffix a hardware revision or a configuration variant?
A: The suffix denotes a hardware revision. The “-C” revision includes updated relay contact materials for improved longevity. It is backward-compatible with earlier “-A” and “-B” revisions in the same slot.
Q: Can Konmask provide a Certificate of Conformance (CoC)?
A: Yes. CoC documentation is available upon request for all units. For critical applications, third-party inspection reports can be arranged at additional cost.
