Description
GE UR6AH
I. Product Overview
This module is mainly used in industrial automation and control systems, playing a key role in providing digital input and output functions for the system, and serving as an important bridge connecting various external devices and control systems. It can accurately transmit digital signals from external devices to the control system, and at the same time convert instructions from the control system into signals that drive external devices, playing a connecting role in the entire industrial electrical system to ensure the stable operation and efficient control of the system.
II. Functional Features
GE UR6AH is equipped with abundant digital input and output channels, providing the system with strong signal processing capabilities. It is usually equipped with multiple digital input and output channels. For example, a common configuration includes 8 digital inputs, 2 Form-A outputs and 2 Form-C outputs. These channels can quickly and accurately receive digital signals from external devices such as buttons and sensors, and stably output instruction signals from the control system to executive components such as indicator lights and relays. Taking the start-stop control of equipment on the production line as an example, after the operator presses the start button, the digital signal generated can be quickly captured by the input channel of UR6AH. After internal processing, the output channel controls the start relay of the corresponding equipment, realizing rapid response and precise control of the equipment.
(2) Reliable Signal Isolation
This module has a reliable signal isolation function and performs excellently in electrical isolation. Through a special design, it can effectively achieve electrical isolation between the relay system and external circuits. This not only greatly improves the safety of the system, but also significantly reduces electrical noise interference, ensuring the stability and accuracy of signal transmission. In complex industrial electromagnetic environments, electrical noise is likely to interfere with signal transmission, leading to system misoperation, while the signal isolation function of UR6AH can effectively avoid such problems. For example, in large factory workshops, many motors, frequency converters and other equipment generate strong electromagnetic interference, and UR6AH can ensure that input and output signals are not affected, maintaining stable operation of the system.

III. Technical Parameters
Power input: It supports a wide range of power inputs. The common AC input voltage range is 100 - 240V AC, which can adapt to the power environment of different industrial sites and reduce adaptation problems caused by power differences; the DC input is usually 24V DC, meeting the DC power supply needs of most industrial equipment. Moreover, the power module has good anti-interference ability, which can ensure the stable operation of the module even when the power supply voltage fluctuates or there is harmonic interference.
Input and output parameters: In terms of digital input, taking 24V DC logic level as an example, the input impedance is usually about 470kΩ, which can effectively match the output characteristics of common sensors and switchgear to ensure accurate acquisition of input signals; the digital output adopts the form of relay output with strong contact capacity, such as up to 250V AC/DC, 10A (different models may vary slightly). It can reliably drive various loads, including indicator lights, small relays, solenoid valves and other equipment. The output delay is extremely short, generally less than 2ms, meeting application scenarios with high requirements for response speed.
(2) Physical Parameters
Dimensions: The module is compact in design, with general dimensions of (length) 133mm x (width) 75mm x (height) 25mm (there may be slight differences in different versions). This compact design allows it to be easily installed in electrical control cabinets with limited space, saving valuable installation space and facilitating system integration and wiring.
Weight: It is relatively light, usually around 0.2kg, which is convenient for handling and installation operations. At the same time, it reduces the load requirements on structures such as mounting brackets, improving the overall stability of the system.
Protection level: The protection level of the module itself reaches IP20, which can effectively prevent dust. It is suitable for installation in environments with relatively good protection such as control cabinets. If equipped with an additional protective shell, the protection level can be further improved to adapt to harsher industrial environments.
