Product Overview

The 100% Brand New GE IC200ALG430 combines four analog inputs and two analog outputs into a single VersaMax module. It converts 4-20mA field signals into digital data and sends 4-20mA control signals to actuators. This mixed-signal design reduces rack space requirements for small to medium control applications.

Engineering Advantages

•  

  Optimizes Rack Space: The module consolidates I/O in one slot. Engineers free up slots for additional digital I/O or communication modules, maximizing the utility of compact VersaMax racks.

   

•  

  Synchronized Signal Processing: The module handles both acquisition and control. This ensures tight coupling between sensor feedback and actuator response within the same hardware module, reducing scan time latency.

   

•  

  Simplified Power Architecture: A single external 24VDC supply powers both the input and output circuits. This reduces the number of power wiring runs and terminal blocks required in the panel.

   

•  

  Cost-Effective Integration: Combining input and output functions lowers the total cost per I/O point compared to purchasing separate input and output modules for small systems.

   

FAQs

•  

  Does this module support voltage signals (0-10V)?

  No. The IC200ALG430 exclusively supports 4-20mA current loops for both inputs and outputs. It does not accept or source voltage signals.

   

•  

  Can I use 0-20mA instead of 4-20mA?

  No. The module is factory-configured for the 4-20mA range. It does not support jumper selection for 0-20mA or other ranges.

   

•  

  What terminal base is required?

  It mounts on standard VersaMax terminal bases (e.g., IC200TBM002 or IC200TBS002). Ensure the terminal base connects to the external 24VDC supply for loop power.

   

•  

  Is the module hot-swappable?

  Yes. When properly configured in the system hardware setup, the IC200ALG430 supports Removal and Insertion Under Power (RIUP) for live replacement.
