PRODUCT INFORMATION
Product Overview
The General Electric IC200ALG240 is an Analog Input Module belonging to the VersaMax series. This device provides eight distinct current input channels for process automation tasks. Each channel accepts signals across a 4 to 20 mA operating range. Factory calibration ensures accurate measurement directly upon installation. The unit processes input data across eight allocated memory words. An update rate of 20 milliseconds enables rapid analog value acquisition.
The module provides channel-to-channel isolation to prevent electrical interference between connected field transmitters. Internal signal conversion utilizes a 16-bit resolution architecture for precise digital representation. Integrated 50/60 Hz notch filtering suppresses common alternating-current line noise. Active open wire detection alerts the controller when field circuit loops disconnect. Front-panel OK and Field Power status indicators confirm module health and external field supply integrity.
