IC200ALG264 Functional Description

The IC200ALG264 is an analog input module within the VersaMax I/O product family, manufactured by GE Fanuc Automation. This compact and versatile module is designed for remote installation, facilitating communication of I/O data through industrial protocols. With 15 individual analog input channels, it supports both 0-20 mA and 4-20 mA input signals, offering high precision for industrial applications. Each input channel is equipped with an Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) with a 15-bit resolution. The module provides a fine resolution of 0.5µA = 1 count for 4-20 mA signals and 0.625µA = 1 count for 0-20 mA signals.

The IC200ALG264 Analog Current Input Module ensures input accuracy of +/-0.3% at 25°C (typical), and +/-0.5% at full scale, with the performance dropping to +/-1% at temperatures up to 60°C. The module's configuration is adjustable through terminal jumpers, which allow users to switch between 4-20 mA and 0-20 mA operating modes. The default configuration is set for 4-20 mA, requiring the jumper to be uninstalled for switching to the 0-20 mA mode. This feature makes the IC200ALG264 flexible for a range of applications.

In terms of diagnostics, the General Electric IC200ALG264 On Sale Large Stock Plc Controller is equipped with error detection features, such as internal power loss monitoring and open wire detection when in 4-20 mA mode. These errors are communicated to the system’s CPU and can be displayed on Human Machine Interface (HMI) or SCADA systems. The module also includes an "OK" LED that signals successful module initialization after power-up and configuration download.

The IC200ALG264AJ Analog Input I/O has a backplane current consumption of 100 mA, making it energy-efficient. It supports a quick update time of 7.5 milliseconds, ensuring timely data processing. The module is designed with a high isolation rating of 350 V AC continuous and 1500 V AC for one minute, though there is no isolation between the individual channels. Its robust features, including a high-resolution ADC, diagnostic capabilities, and flexible configuration options, make the IC200ALG264 a reliable choice for industrial control systems requiring accurate analog inputs.
