GE Fanuc IC200ALG260 Analogue Input Module

Formerly manufactured by GE Fanuc Automation, the module is now part of Emerson Automation.

This analogue input module features eight (8) analogue inputs that can be configured specifically for voltage or current signals.

These are 4-20 mA current input signals and -10VDC / +10 VDC voltage input signals with 12-bit channel resolution.

About the IC200ALG260

The IC200ALG260 is an analogue input module from the Versamax I/O platform.

It is an eight (8) channel input module designed to accept unipolar and bipolar voltage signals of

0 to 10V and +/-10VDC, respectively, as well as current input signals such as 4-20 mA.

The module converts the accepted signals into digital data with a resolution of 12 bits.

The module requires no external power supply to operate. It has a 250VAC continuous optoisolation rating and a 1500VAC for 1 minute optoisolation rating.

Available LED status indicators for the IC200ALG260 include an internal power LED (INT PWR LED) and a normal LED.

It has a backplane current consumption of 5 mA at 130 VDC** and has built-in internal power-down diagnostics.

Configurable parameters for this module include range selection and mode selection. The module's** input impedance in voltage mode is 126 kOhms.

The module has an input impedance of 126 kOhms** in voltage mode and 200 Ohms** in current mode, with a typical accuracy of +/-0.3% at full scale.

The module has a typical accuracy of +/-0.3% at full scale, and an accuracy of +/-5.25% at full scale when operating at 0 degrees Celsius** and +/-60% at 1-0 degrees Celsius**.

Resolution is 4?A = 8 counts in current mode; 2.5 mV = 8 counts in bipolar voltage mode, 2.5 mV = 8 counts in unipolar voltage mode, and 2.5 mV = 8 counts in bipolar voltage mode.

2.5 mV = 8 counts in unipolar voltage mode. The module has an interchannel crosstalk rejection* of 30 dB.

The module supports single-ended wiring configurations where analogue measurements are made with reference to ground.

It is less resistant to electromagnetic interference (EMI), so proper noise cancellation and signal conditioning are recommended prior to signal termination.

The IC200ALG260 Input Module is a GE Fanuc analogue input module for the GE Versamax PLC family that can be used as an interface device for 8 current inputs or 8 voltage inputs.

All 8 of its inputs are single-ended and they are arranged in a group.

The IC200ALG260 analogue input module draws 5 mA** of current from the backplane at a rated voltage of 130 volts.

The module is powered from the power supply on the backplane. It does not require power from an external supply unless it is connected to a transceiver device.

The module also does not have a thermal derating feature.There are 260 LED indicators on the IC2ALG200 analogue input module.

One is a green INT PWR LED that indicates to the operator that field power is available to the analogue field side circuit.

The other is a green OK LED that indicates to the operator that the module has backplane power.

Field power for the field side circuits in the GE Fanuc Versamax IC200ALG260 analogue input module is generated internally.

The module has a filter response time of 5 milliseconds when operating in voltage mode and when running in current mode.

The IC200ALG260 analogue input module operates in voltage mode by default, but can be configured to operate in current mode if required by the PLC or its intended application.

The module has a current rating of 4 to 20 milliamps and its input voltage rating is the default -10 to 10 volts DC bipolar or a configurable 0 to 10 volts unipolar.
