Features:
- Coordinates sixteen 12 VDC inputs with twelve 12 VDC output channels.
- Maintains 2K words of application data alongside 9K words of control logic.
- Provides RS-232, RS-485, clock, counter, pulse, and four-module expansion capabilities.
General Electric IC200UDD212 fits low-voltage systems that need more local points and retained data than the Micro 14 configuration.
A common 12 VDC signal environment can simplify device selection, provided output polarity, inrush current, and suppression are addressed for every connected load.
Dual serial interfaces let engineering access and supported device communication use separate physical connections during normal operation.
The General Electric IC200UDD212 28-Point VersaMax Micro PLC may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

Important Notice: Other accessories, manuals, cables, calibration data, software, etc. are not included with this equipment unless listed in the above stock item description. All prices are shown in USD.
Matched Low-Voltage Channels
- Input Channels: Sixteen 12 VDC input points receive discrete feedback from compatible field devices.
- Output Channels: Twelve 12 VDC output points command actuators or interfaces within the permitted load ratings.
- Voltage Coordination: Using one nominal field voltage simplifies distribution but does not eliminate the need for correct commons and polarity.
- Circuit Protection: Load suppression and branch protection reduce switching disturbance and limit wiring fault effects.
Logic, Data, and Time Resources
- Logic Allocation: The 9K-word logic area accommodates sequences, timers, counters, and machine interlocks.
- Data Capacity: A 2K-word data section stores process settings and values that outgrow the Micro 14 data area.
- Retention Backup: Battery and supercapacitor support retention through expected periods without control power.
- Time Reference: The real-time clock provides calendar and time references for programmed operating windows.
Two-Port Communication Plan
- RS-232 Access: RS-232 offers a direct connection for an engineering workstation or supported point-to-point device.
- RS-485 Network: RS-485 accommodates a differential serial link and supported multidrop arrangements.
- Port Separation: Separating programming access from equipment communication can reduce cable changes during maintenance.
- Communication Settings: Both ports require matching protocol, framing, speed, and grounding practices at their connected devices.
Low-Voltage Machine Control
- Mobile Equipment: Mobile or battery-fed equipment can combine 12 VDC sensing and actuation in a single controller.
- Inspection Machines: Inspection machines can use counter channels for part detection and pulse outputs for synchronized triggers.
- Process Equipment: Compact process equipment can retain recipes and run time-based sequences with the integrated clock.
- Module Expansion: Additional Micro modules can add specialized signals without replacing the built-in 28-point controller.
