Product Overview

The 100% Brand New GE IC200ALG264E provides 15 single-ended analog current input points for the VersaMax I/O system. It converts 4-20mA or 0-20mA signals from field transmitters into 15-bit digital values. The module shares a common return for all channels and supports open wire detection in 4-20mA mode.

Engineering Advantages

•  

  High Density: 15 inputs in one slot maximize rack space, reducing the number of bases required for large I/O counts.

   

•  

  Simple Range Selection: A terminal jumper selects 0-20mA or 4-20mA for all channels without software changes, simplifying hardware setup.

   

•  

  Loop Diagnostics: Detects open wires in 4-20mA mode. The CPU receives fault reports immediately, preventing undetected sensor failures.

   

•  

  Common Return Wiring: Single-ended design with a shared common return simplifies field wiring termination for standard 2-wire transmitters.

   

FAQs

•  

  Can I mix 4-20mA and 0-20mA signals on one module?

  No. The jumper setting applies globally to all 15 channels. All channels must use the same current range.

   

•  

  Does it require external power for the module logic?

  No. The module draws logic power from the 5VDC backplane. However, the field transmitters require an external 24VDC power supply.

   

•  

  What is the difference between IC200ALG264E and IC200ALG262?

  The ALG264E offers 15 single-ended current inputs. The ALG262 offers 8 differential current inputs. The ALG264E shares a common return; the ALG262 isolates each pair.

   

•  

  Is this module hot-swappable?

  Yes, the IC200ALG264E supports Removal and Insertion Under Power (RIUP) when the system configuration enables this feature.
