Features:
- Adds sixteen DC load-control points without introducing another processor.
- Separates field-output circuitry from the controller logic through optical isolation.
- Handles defined inrush and negative-pulse conditions encountered with industrial loads.
The IC200UEO116 expansion format dedicates every point to output service, making it appropriate where a base controller needs additional actuators but no corresponding input channels.
All sixteen points share the field-side supply and common architecture, so group-level power distribution has a direct effect on multiple channels at once.
As part of the VersaMax Micro expansion family, the unit extends a compatible base PLC within that controller's supported number of expansion modules and overall power budget.
Apter Power supports quotation requests and official GE/Emerson documentation access for the General Electric IC200UEO116 VersaMax Micro 16-Point Output Expansion Unit.

Field Circuit Arrangement for IC200UEO116
- Switching direction: Each transistor point completes the load path toward the DC common instead of sourcing positive current.
- Supply relationship: Field devices connect to the shared 24 VDC group supply with polarity suited to sink operation.
- Common integrity: A loose or open common can affect several commanded outputs even when individual logic states are valid.
- Logic boundary: Optical isolation prevents the field group from being treated as a direct electrical extension of the CPU electronics.
Output Transients on IC200UEO116
- Starting surge: A channel accepts a brief load inrush up to eight times its rated current within the specified pulse conditions.
- Steady loading: Continuous current remains governed by the normal point and group ratings after startup.
- Negative pulse: Output circuitry includes protection for reverse-going voltage transients produced by connected loads.
- Load selection: Contactors, indicators, and other devices are checked for both holding demand and their switch-on behavior.
Branch Protection for IC200UEO116
- External fuse: A fast-acting protective device clears a sustained field-load short before damage propagates through the group.
- Fault scope: Group supply and common conductors are inspected when several channels stop operating together.
- Energy isolation: Field power is removed before changing output wiring or replacing the expansion unit.
- Coordination: Fuse, conductor, terminal, and load ratings are selected as one branch circuit rather than independently.
Adding IC200UEO116 to VersaMax Micro
- Output growth: One unit adds sixteen actuator points to a controller that has insufficient built-in outputs.
- CPU ownership: Logic execution remains in the base PLC while the expansion supplies only field-output channels.
- Unit count: The complete chain stays within the expansion limit specified for the selected VersaMax Micro controller.
- System power: Both logic-side and 24 VDC field demands are included before the expanded assembly is released.
