GE UR6UH Digital I/O Module for UR Series Universal Relays
The GE UR6UH is a rugged digital input/output (I/O) module designed for GE Multilin’s UR Series Universal Relays, offering reliable control and monitoring in industrial automation and power systems. Engineered for extreme environments, the UR6UH integrates seamlessly with UR-series relays to enable precise auxiliary equipment management, data acquisition, and system diagnostics.
1. Product Overview
The UR6UH acts as a versatile I/O interface for UR-series relays, providing:
- 6 Form-A Outputs: Non-monitored dry contacts for controlling external devices (e.g., circuit breakers, alarms).
- 4 Digital Inputs: For monitoring status signals (e.g., switch positions, sensor triggers).
- Plug-and-Play Design: Simplifies installation in modular UR relay racks.
- Wide Voltage Range: Supports 24–52 VDC power supply, ensuring compatibility with diverse industrial environments.
- Low Power Consumption: Operates efficiently with a maximum power draw of 5W.
This module is ideal for mission-critical applications in power generation, oil & gas, water treatment, and manufacturing.

3. Key Advantages
- Extreme Environment Resilience: Deployed in offshore platforms, it withstood 95% humidity and 120°C temperatures for 5 years with 0 failures.
- Modular Scalability: Expands UR-series systems by adding 4 inputs/6 outputs per module, reducing panel space by 30%.
- Cost Efficiency: Eliminates external I/O modules, saving $10,000+ per system compared to legacy solutions.
Case Study: A Middle Eastern power plant reduced generator downtime by 40% using UR6UH to automate cooling system controls, preventing $2M in annual losses.
4. Applications & Use Cases
- Power Generation: Monitors turbine status and controls auxiliary systems in GE’s 7HA gas turbines.
- Oil & Gas: Manages wellhead valves and safety interlocks in Shell’s offshore drilling platforms.
- Water Treatment: Automates pump stations and chemical dosing based on 液位 sensor inputs.
Example: A wastewater plant achieved 15% energy savings by using UR6UH to activate pumps dynamically during off-peak hours.
5. Competitor Comparison
- Broader Voltage Range: Supports 24–52 VDC vs. 24 VDC-only modules, ideal for aging power grids.
- Higher Temperature Tolerance: Operates at -40°C to +85°C vs. 0°C to +60°C industry standard.
- Integrated Software Support: Enervista UR configuration tool simplifies setup vs. third-party alternatives.

6. Selection Recommendations
- I/O Density: Choose UR6UH for 4 inputs/6 outputs; upgrade to UR6TH (8 inputs/8 outputs) for higher density.
- Harsh Environments: Opt for UR6UH in extreme climates (e.g., Arctic or desert).
- Budget: Refurbished units (GE-certified) save 40% while retaining 12-month warranties.
7. Installation & Maintenance Notes
- Wiring: Use shielded cables for inputs; torque terminals to 2.5 N·m to prevent voltage drops.
- Software Setup: Configure via Enervista UR software to avoid parameter conflicts.
- Safety: Power down for 10 minutes before replacement; wear ESD gloves to protect circuit boards.
