Description
GE Multilin UR6CH
GE Multilin UR6CH is a digital I/O module in the GE Multilin UR series of general-purpose relays. It is mainly used for monitoring and controlling equipment in industrial automation systems and can communicate with auxiliary devices through digital inputs and outputs.
Overview: UR6CH is a digital I/O module that enables UR relays to communicate with auxiliary equipment by providing digital inputs and outputs. It is equipped with 8 C-type digital outputs. A C-type digital output is a Single Pole Double Throw (SPDT) contact, which has a common point connected to a normally closed (NC) contact and a normally open (NO) contact, allowing switching between these two outputs, and is usually referred to as a "changeover" contact.
Functional Features:
- Flexible I/O Configuration: With 8 C-type digital outputs, it can flexibly control various types of loads, meeting the equipment control requirements in different industrial scenarios.
- Reliable Signal Transmission: The module adopts a robust structural design, ensuring accurate signal transmission and reliable actuator actions even in harsh industrial environments, thus guaranteeing stable system operation.
- Data Acquisition and Control: It can collect various data from on-site equipment, such as temperature, pressure, flow rate, etc., and control the operating status of equipment (such as motor startup, valve opening/closing) based on the collected data, realizing precise monitoring of industrial processes.
Technical Parameters:
- Input/Output Channels: Usually 6 channels; some data indicate 3 inputs and 3 outputs, and there are also mentions of 6 inputs and 6 outputs.
- Input Type: Dry contact.
- Input Voltage Range: 24VDC to 250VAC, and there are also specifications such as 24VDC or 18V to 30VDC.
- Output Voltage Range: 24VDC to 250VAC, or 20V to 28VDC.
- Output Current: Up to 10A; some specifications are 100mA per channel.
- Communication Protocols: Supports Modbus, Ethernet, etc.
- Operating Temperature: -40℃ to +70℃, and there are also specifications of -40℃ to +85℃.
- Dimensions: Approximately 100mm x 60mm x 30mm, or about 6 inches (length) x 7 inches (width) x 1.5 inches (height).
Working Principle: UR6CH receives dry contact signals from external devices (such as sensors, switches) through digital input channels and converts them into logic signals recognizable by the module. The internal part of the module processes these signals according to preset programs or logic, and then outputs control signals in the form of SPDT contacts through C-type digital output channels to control external executive devices (such as motors, valves). At the same time, the module can interact with other devices or systems through supported communication protocols, upload equipment status information or receive control commands, realizing coordinated control of the entire system.
Application Fields:
- Industrial Automation: It can be used for the control and monitoring of equipment such as production line automation, robot control, and packaging machines, realizing automation and precision in the production process.
- Building Automation: Suitable for lighting control, temperature and humidity control, etc., helping to realize intelligent management of building equipment, improve energy utilization efficiency and living comfort.
- Process Control: It plays a role in fields such as chemical process control and water treatment process control, and can monitor and control various parameters in the process flow to ensure the stability and safety of the production process.
- Other Fields: It is also widely used in manufacturing (such as automobile manufacturing, electronics manufacturing, food processing), energy industry (electric power, petroleum, natural gas), and transportation (rail transit power supply systems) and other fields.
