Features:
- Integrates twenty-four configurable DC inputs with sixteen Form A relay outputs.
- Processes designated high-speed input signals at rates up to 100 kHz.
- Uses removable field terminals and supports four expansion units.
The 12/24 VDC-powered base unit suits control panels that need a larger relay-output count without moving to a separate rack.
A 435 mA auxiliary 24 VDC source is available for compatible field devices, while each I/O point has a local state indicator for commissioning checks.
Program storage, register capacity and optional communication modules let the controller handle standalone logic as well as linked machine-control duties.
The General Electric IC200UDR440 VersaMax Micro 40-Point PLC may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

Available Communication Paths
- Primary Port: The controller includes a built-in RS-232 interface.
- GE Protocols: SNP and SNPX master or slave roles are supported.
- Open Protocol: Modbus RTU communication can operate as master or slave.
- Port Expansion: Optional boards can add a second serial, USB or Ethernet-related path.
Application Storage Strategy
- Logic Capacity: Up to 24K words are available for the control program.
- Data Capacity: The register area provides 32K words for application values.
- Power-Up Choice: Startup can use RAM or a stored flash configuration.
- Retention: Capacitor backup covers about thirty minutes and an optional lithium battery extends support.
Wiring and Expansion Practices
- Controller Feed: Supply the base from the documented 19.2–30 VDC operating range.
- Load Circuits: Relay devices need external field power and suitable suppression.
- Terminal Access: Four removable strips divide the field wiring into serviceable sections.
- Chain Limit: Up to four expansion units may share the permitted two-meter connection span.
High-Speed Counting Roles
- Flow Measurement: Turbine-meter pulses can be accumulated at high speed.
- Position Tracking: Encoder counts can represent travel or material position.
- Speed Monitoring: Pulse frequency can support velocity calculations and control.
- Process Sequencing: Fast input events can trigger time-critical machine steps.
