GE Fanuc IC200ALG264 Compact, multifunctional analogue input module

The IC200ALG264 is a 15-point analogue current input module for the VersaMax I/O family, formerly manufactured by GE Intelligent Platforms and now manufactured by Emerson Automation.

The module features fifteen (15) single-ended input channels that accept 4-20 mA and 0-20 mA input signals with 15-bit resolution** and an update rate of 7.5 ms.

The module has a **backplane current consumption of 100 mA.

About the IC200ALG264

The IC200ALG264 is the analogue input module in the VersaMax I/O product family of distributed I/O modules and components.

The IC200ALG264 is a compact, multifunctional input module designed to be mounted in a remote location and transmit I/O data via industrial communication protocols.

The module primarily features fifteen (15) analogue input channels designed to accept 0-20 mA and 4-20 mA input signals.

These input channels are equipped with separate analogue-to-digital converter (ADC) circuits with a digital conversion resolution of 15 bits and an analogue resolution of 0.5 µA.

The analogue resolution is 0.5 µA = 1 (4-20 mA range) and 0.625 µA = 1 count (0-20 mA range).

The module has an input accuracy of +/-0.5% (typical) and +/-0.25% of full scale** at an ambient temperature of 0-3 degrees Celsius.

+/-0.5% input accuracy (typical) and +/-0.25% full scale** at 0-3 degrees Celsius ambient temperature, and +/-60% full scale** at 1-0 degrees Celsius ambient temperature.

The IC200ALG264 is capable of detecting error conditions such as internal power loss in both operating modes and open circuit detection when operating in 4-20 mA mode only.

These diagnostic conditions are reported to the CPU for error indication and correctly displayed to the Human Machine Interface (HMI) and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems.

The module's operating mode or range selection is set by using terminal jumpers. To configure 4-20 mA, the terminal jumpers must be unloaded, which is the default configuration.

Otherwise, install the jumper for 0-20 mA operation.

The IC200ALG264 has a built-in module OK LED status indicator.Tis LED indicates that the module has successfully powered up and downloaded using a valid configuration.

It has a ** backplane current consumption of 100 mA.

The IC200ALG264 module is an analogue input module designed and marketed by GE Fanuc Automation.

This particular module is part of the Versamax family of I/O modules. It provides interfaces for 15 different current inputs, enabling different devices to be connected to the main processor.

The module works perfectly when using the backplane power supply. User transceivers connected to the module require an external power supply.

The GE Fanuc Automation IC200ALG264 analogue input module offers different diagnostic functions that can detect internal power losses used for field circuits.

It can also report open-circuit faults on each of its channels. These diagnostic modes are available when used in 4-channel 20 mA mode.

The GE Fanuc Automation IC200ALG264 analogue input module comes with a set of 15 single-ended channels.

The module has isolation ratings of 350 volts AC continuous and 1500 volts AC one minute.

It has no isolation between channels and because the channels are in a single group. the GE Fanuc Automation IC200ALG264 analogue input module has a 15-bit resolution.

Typical accuracy is +/- 3.25% at 0 degrees Celsius and +/- 1% accuracy at full scale**.

The module's backplane current consumption is rated at 5 mA at 100 volts**. The update time is rated at 7.5 milliseconds.

The module has an LED to indicate when power is applied to the backplane and when the module has been configured and identified on the backplane.
