Product Overview

The 100% Brand New GE IC200ALG262 acquires analog process data for the VersaMax I/O system. It converts 0-20mA or 4-20mA current signals into 15-bit digital values. The module features 8 differential input channels, jumper-selectable ranges, and fast 7.5ms per channel updates for real-time monitoring.

Engineering Advantages

•  

  Differential Noise Immunity: Differential inputs reject common-mode electrical noise. This ensures accurate readings in environments with high electromagnetic interference (EMI) from VFDs or high-voltage equipment.

   

•  

  Fast Scanning: The 7.5ms per channel update rate captures rapid process fluctuations. This suits high-speed applications like flow monitoring, pressure control, or dynamic batching systems.

   

•  

  Hardware Flexibility: Jumper-selectable input ranges allow technicians to match the module to the field transmitter output (0-20mA or 4-20mA) without software changes, simplifying commissioning.

   

•  

  Loop Integrity: Open circuit detection identifies broken wires or failed transmitters in 4-20mA mode. The controller receives an immediate fault indication, preventing undetected process failures.

   

FAQs

•  

  Does this module support voltage inputs?

  No. The IC200ALG262 exclusively supports current inputs (0-20mA or 4-20mA). It does not accept voltage signals.

   

•  

  Can I mix 0-20mA and 4-20mA on the same module?

  No. The jumper setting applies globally to all 8 channels. All channels must operate in the same selected range.

   

•  

  What terminal base does it require?

  It mounts on standard VersaMax terminal bases (e.g., IC200TBM002 or IC200TBS002). Ensure the terminal base provides the necessary 24VDC field power for the current loops.

   

•  

  Is the module hot-swappable?

  Yes. When properly configured in the system hardware setup, the IC200ALG262 supports Removal and Insertion Under Power (RIUP) for live replacement.
