Product Overview
The GE UR6CH is a high-density,universal analog input/output module engineered for the GE Fanuc Series 90™-70 programmable logic controller(PLC)system.As part of the versatile Universal Remote I/O(UR Series)family,the GE UR6CH provides flexible mixed-signal capability by supporting up to six channels that can be individually configured as either analog inputs or analog outputs—enabling dynamic adaptation to evolving process control requirements without hardware changes.This reconfigurable architecture makes the GE UR6CH particularly valuable in applications where space,cost,and future-proofing are critical,such as in retrofit projects,pilot plants,or modular skid-mounted systems.
Designed for seamless integration into the Series 90-70 backplane ecosystem,the GE UR6CH communicates via the Genius I/O bus and supports both current(4–20 mA)and voltage(0–10 V,±10 V)signal types with high resolution and noise immunity.Its ability to mix input and output functions on a single module reduces chassis slot consumption,lowers wiring complexity,and simplifies spare parts inventory.With robust industrial construction and compliance with global EMC and safety standards,the GE UR6CH delivers reliable performance in demanding environments across power generation,water treatment,and discrete manufacturing sectors.

Main Features and Advantages
Channel-Level Flexibility:Unlike fixed-function I/O modules,the GE UR6CH allows each of its six channels to be independently assigned as analog input or analog output during configuration via Proficy Machine Edition software.This eliminates the need to stock multiple dedicated AI or AO modules,streamlining engineering design and reducing panel footprint—especially beneficial in space-constrained control cabinets.
High-Fidelity Signal Handling:The GE UR6CH employs 16-bit A/D and D/A converters with low-noise front-end circuitry,ensuring precise representation of process variables such as pressure,temperature,or valve position.Built-in open-wire detection on input channels and load monitoring on output channels enhance diagnostic coverage,enabling predictive maintenance and faster troubleshooting.
Seamless Integration with Series 90-70 Architecture:The GE UR6CH leverages the Genius I/O protocol for deterministic communication with the CPU,supporting hot-swap capability in compatible chassis.Configuration data is stored in non-volatile memory,so module replacement does not require re-downloading parameters—minimizing downtime during maintenance.Its LED status indicators provide real-time feedback on module health,channel activity,and fault conditions.
Application Field
The GE UR6CH is widely deployed in legacy and active GE Fanuc installations where mixed analog signaling is required.In municipal water and wastewater plants,it interfaces with level transmitters(as AI)and chemical dosing pump speed references(as AO)within the same control loop—demonstrating its dual-role efficiency.Power utilities use the GE UR6CH in turbine auxiliary control panels to monitor bearing temperatures while simultaneously driving cooling fan VFDs,optimizing cabinet real estate.
In food and beverage processing,the module manages both ingredient flow meter inputs and proportional control valve outputs on blending skids.Packaging machinery OEMs integrate the GE UR6CH into labeling and filling lines for tension control(via dancer roll feedback)and servo drive setpoints.Even in academic and R&D labs running older Series 90-70 systems,the GE UR6CH serves as a versatile testbed for process simulation due to its reconfigurable nature.Across these diverse settings,the GE UR6CH continues to provide adaptable,high-integrity analog interfacing long after its initial deployment.

Installation and Maintenance
Pre-installation preparation:Before installing the GE UR6CH,confirm that the Series 90-70 chassis has sufficient backplane power and an available slot.Use Proficy Machine Edition to pre-configure each channel’s function(AI or AO)and signal range;this configuration is downloaded to the CPU and automatically applied upon module recognition.Ensure field wiring uses shielded twisted-pair cables,with shields grounded at the controller end only to prevent ground loops.Torque terminal screws to 0.5 N·m to avoid damage to the connector block.
Maintenance recommendations:The GE UR6CH requires no routine calibration but should be visually inspected during scheduled outages for dust,corrosion,or loose connections.If a channel fails,check the configuration first—misassignment is a common cause of apparent hardware faults.Leverage the module’s built-in diagnostics via the programming software to isolate issues to specific channels.When replacing a failed GE UR6CH,verify the firmware revision matches the existing system to avoid compatibility issues.Store spares in static-safe packaging at room temperature to preserve electronic integrity.
