GE Multilin UR Series UR6UH Digital I/O Module

Product Overview

The GE UR-6UH is a Digital I/O Module from GE Multilin, designed for the UR Series Universal Relay platform. This module provides 6 Form-A outputs (no monitoring) and 4 digital inputs, enabling control and monitoring of auxiliary equipment when installed in a Universal Relay. The UR-6UH features a plug-and-play design for easy module exchange and rapid system upgrades.

Digital data processing in the UR-6UH is more cost-effective than analog alternatives, reducing user burden while generating less electrical noise for smoother system operation. The module is fully compatible with EnerVista UR software for configuration via software or manual keypad and LCD entry.

Technical Specifications

Applications

• Industrial automation — process control systems, building management, energy management
• Power generation — monitoring and control of auxiliary equipment
• Oil and gas — data acquisition and analysis
• Water and wastewater — pump and valve control
• Substation automation — status monitoring and interlocking logic

Compatibility

The UR-6UH is fully compatible with the GE Multilin UR Series universal relay family. It shares similarities with the UR-6CH module in size, weight, power requirements, and communication interfaces. Always ensure replacement modules match the original type and order code to prevent hardware mismatch errors.

Installation Guide

1. Power Down: Completely de-energize the UR relay chassis. Never install or remove modules while energized.
2. ESD Protection: Wear a grounded ESD wrist strap before handling the module.
3. Slot Verification: Confirm the target slot is empty and matches the module orientation.
4. Module Insertion: Slide the UR-6UH into the chassis guide rails, aligning the rear terminal block with the backplane connector.
5. Secure Mounting: Tighten the faceplate retention screws to the specified torque.
6. Wiring: Connect field wiring per the UR series wiring diagram. Observe correct polarity.
7. Configuration: Power on and configure via EnerVista UR Setup software or front panel keypad/LCD.

FAQ

Q: What does the "6U" order code signify?
A: The "6U" designates a digital I/O module with 6 Form-A outputs (no monitoring) + 4 digital inputs.

Q: What is the difference between UR-6UH and UR-6CH?
A: Both modules share similar size, weight, and communication interfaces. The UR-6UH is a 6U height module, while the UR-6CH may differ in specific output configurations. Always verify the exact I/O configuration before ordering.

Q: What power supply does the UR-6UH require?
A: The UR-6UH operates on 24 VDC to 52 VDC with a maximum power consumption of 5 W.

Q: Is hot-swapping supported?
A: No. Always remove control power before installing or removing any module.

Selection Tips

• Choose UR-6UH when you need 6 Form-A outputs with 4 inputs in a compact 6U form factor.
• For Form-A outputs with current monitoring, consider the UR-6NH.
• For all Form-C outputs, consider the UR-6CH or UR-6EV.
• Always cross-reference the UR series order code guide before ordering.
