PRODUCT INFORMATION
Product Overview
The General Electric IC200ALG264 is a PLCs/Machine Control module for the VersaMax I/O platform. It provides 15 single-ended current input channels arranged in a single group. Each channel accepts 0 to 20 mA or 4 to 20 mA signals. Individual analog-to-digital converters deliver 15-bit resolution across all active inputs. The unit mounts directly onto a VersaMax carrier base.
This module consumes up to 100 mA from the 5 VDC backplane power supply. Field transmitters require an external power supply to operate. An on-board OK LED confirms normal backplane power and proper configuration. Diagnostic routines detect field power loss. The unit also reports open-wire faults during 4 to 20 mA operation.
