GE Fanuc General Electric IC200ALG328 Output Module

The GE Fanuc Automation IC200ALG328 Versamax I/O module has an **update rate of 15 milliseconds. It requires thermal derating to operate properly.

About the IC200ALG328

The IC200ALG328 module is a Versamax I/O module designed and manufactured by GE Fanuc Automation.

This particular module provides 12 outputs. These outputs are analog current source type outputs.

They can operate over a current range of 4 to 20 milliamps. The module has 20.38 mA per channel to drive the output loads.

The channels of the GE Fanuc Automation IC200ALG328 Versamax I/O module can be used with the IC200ALG326 Versamax I/O module.

The channels of the IC200ALG326 module can be scaled using the IC200ALG326 module because they are similar and compatible.

The module is also compatible with Ethernet, Genius, Profibus, and DeviceNet firmware. It is also compatible with PLC CPU firmware and VersaPro software.

The GE Fanuc Automation IC200ALG328 Versamax I/O module has a thermal derating only when used at 30 volts DC and placed in a specific location on the DIN rail.

This derating is also dependent on the ambient air temperature present.GE Fanuc Automation IC200ALG328 Versamax I/O Modules are rated for 18 to 30 volts DC.

The current draw is rated at 2 amps inrush current, and the power consumption is rated at 100 milliamps without load and 12 milliamps at full scale using all 270 outputs.

The module has a 13-bit resolution with an accuracy rating of up to 1%. The module is equipped with 2 LEDs and a diagnostic tool.

It can be hot-plugged, but this needs to be done carefully to retain all components in the rack and module.

The IC200ALG328 is a 12-channel, 13-bit current analog output module designed for the GE Fanuc Versamax family.

The IC200ALG328 has a default output range, but the output range can be easily changed with jumpers.

All outputs require external power, and the IC200ALG328 module will be intelligently processed by the CPU or Network Interface Unit.

If the backplane power or communication is interrupted, or if the PLC stops running, the outputs of the IC200ALG328 module can be easily kept in their last state, or in their default state via jumpers.

The backplane must send different output data to the module or the outputs will remain in their default or previous state.

In 0-20mA range mode, the current output signal value of 0mA corresponds to a %AQ value of 0 count and 20mA corresponds to a %AQ value of +32.000 count.

If in 4-20mA range mode, 0 %AQ count value corresponds to 4mA output current and +32.000 %AQ count value corresponds to 20mA output current.

If the IC200ALG328 is placed in the PLC rack, the negative value will be adapted and commanded as 0mA regardless of the range selected.
