Functional Description
IC200UDD040 is a Micro Plus PLC module developed by GE. It is a 40-point Micro Plus PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) from the GE Fanuc Versamax product line. This advanced module is designed for robust control and automation applications, featuring a combination of digital and analog I/O capabilities.
Technical Overview
- 24 DC inputs (sink/source configurable, 24VDC)
- 12 ESCP-protected DC outputs (Electronic Solid-State Contact Protection)
- 4 DC low-current outputs (ideal for driving indicators or pilot relays)
This distribution allows for interfacing with a variety of field devices, including proximity switches, photoelectric sensors, solenoid valves, contactors, and other control elements.
Analog Interface
Located behind the left-side hinged panel, the unit includes two onboard analog potentiometers. These are typically used for manual fine-tuning of analog values such as setpoints, PID parameters, or scaling factors. Adjustments are written directly to dedicated memory registers, eliminating the need for auxiliary programming or human-machine interface (HMI) devices during commissioning or troubleshooting.
Configuration and Setup
- Module addressing (used in multi-drop configurations)
- Operational mode settings
- Termination options for serial communication
This design facilitates field configurability and minimizes setup time, particularly in systems that require rapid redeployment or reconfiguration in modular automation architectures.
Networking and Communications
Supports RS-485 serial communication, compliant with GE Fanuc SNP/SNP-X and Modbus RTU protocols. Each serial link can address up to 8 slave devices, with expandability through the use of serial repeaters to extend the network topology. The communication interface supports:
- Multi-drop device networking
- Peer-to-peer communications
- Remote monitoring and control via SCADA or HMI systems
This makes the module well-suited for distributed control systems and applications where centralized data aggregation is essential.
Modular Expansion
Despite its compact design, the module allows for up to four additional I/O modules to be added via the integrated expansion bus. Supported modules include:
- Discrete input/output modules
- Analog input/output modules
- Specialty modules (e.g., thermocouple, RTD, high-speed counters)
This modularity supports incremental system growth and flexible adaptation to changing control requirements without the need to overhaul the core PLC hardware.
