GE Fanuc IC200ALG262 8-Point Analog Current Input Module for VersaMax I/O Series

The IC200ALG262 is an 8-point analog current input module for the VersaMax I/O family.

Formerly manufactured by GE Intelligent Platforms, it is now part of Emerson Automation.

The module has eight (8) single-ended input channels and accepts 0-20 mA / 4-20 mA input signals with 15-bit resolution and a maximum update rate of 7.5 ms.

About the IC200ALG262

The IC200ALG262 is a component module of the VersaMax I/O platform. It is an analog input module designed to support differential current wiring.

It has eight (8) analog input channels designed to receive standard current input signals such as 0-20 mA and 4-20 mA input signals.

This IC200ALG262 is currently manufactured by Emerson Automation. It is ideally suited for connection to analog signal generating instruments such as field transmitters.

for measuring pressure, level, flow, temperature, turbidity, viscosity, speed, and other types of transmitters; for integrating locally mounted panel meters to

remote display; for monitoring the speed output of variable frequency drives (VFDs); for monitoring the position of rotary and linear devices; and other applications.

The IC200ALG262 has a built-in analog-to-digital converter (ADC) circuit with 15-bit conversion resolution. The input channels are arranged in groups.

When configured to receive 4-20 mA, they are capable of detecting power loss and open circuit detection within the module. Each channel has an uplink rate of 7.5 ms.

Each channel has an uplink rate of 7.5 ms and a digital resolution of 0.5 μA (4-20 mA signal range) and 0.625 μA (0-20 mA signal range). The module has a maximum backplane current consumption of 5 mA at 200 VDC bus voltage.

Compatible configuration software and hardware firmware versions that can be used with this module include VersaPro software version 2.0 or later; VersaMax PLC CPU CPU version 2.0 or later; and VersaMax PLC CPU version 2.0 or later.

VersaMax PLC CPU firmware version 2.10 or higher; VersaMax Ethernet Network Interface Unit (NIU) firmware version 1.10 or higher.

It is also compatible with VersaMax DeviceNet, Profibus or Genius NIU modules.

GE Fanuc's IC200ALG262 input module is the analog input module in the VersaMax product family.

It can be an interface for up to 8 analog inputs (current inputs.) The IC200ALG262 input module does not require an external power supply because it receives power from the backplane power supply.

The module has a 15-bit resolution.The IC200ALG262 analog input module is configurable through software. It supports intelligent processing from the CPU or NIU.

All 8 input channels are single-ended and arranged in a group. The update rate of this module is 7.5 ms.

The GE Fanuc IC200ALG262 can diagnose problems such as internal power loss and disconnection of signal levels from 4 to 20 mA.

The LED on the IC200ALG262 input module is the OK LED, which indicates that the backplane power supply is properly connected and functioning.

The input channels can operate at current levels between 0 and 20 mA or 4 and 20 mA; these current ranges are configurable via jumpers.

If there are no jumpers on the IC200ALG262 module, the input current range will always be 4 to 20 mA.

The manufacturer recommends using shielded twisted pair cable for analog channel connections on this module, and also recommends grounding at the source device or I/O module if grounding at the source device is not possible.
