PRODUCT INFORMATION
Product Overview
The General Electric IC200ALG260 VersaMax Analog Input Module provides eight single-ended input channels. The module accepts unipolar 0 to 10 VDC signals. It also handles bipolar +/-10 VDC voltage inputs. Additionally, the unit processes standard 4 to 20 mA current loops. Input signals are digitized with 12 bits of conversion resolution. The module draws operating power directly from the VersaMax backplane. It requires no external field power supply for standard operation. Backplane power consumption is rated at 125 mA at 5 VDC.
Optical isolation protects sensitive backplane circuits at 250 VAC continuous and 1500 VAC for one minute. The hardware incorporates two front-panel LED indicators named OK and INT PWR. Internal diagnostic circuitry detects loss of internal power. Field measurements reference a common ground connection across all eight single-ended channels. Software configuration defines range selection and mode selection per application requirements. On module communication error, the device holds the last state or returns to a pre-defined value.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION
Applications
- VersaMax PLC systems monitoring industrial voltage transmitters and current loops.
- Single-ended analog signal acquisition in machine automation and process control panels.
TECHNICAL INFORMATION
Connections / Interfaces
- All eight analog inputs utilize a single-ended configuration sharing a common reference wire.
- Input impedance measures 126 kOhms in voltage mode and 200 Ohms in current mode.
- Backplane connection supplies up to 130 mA at 5 VDC logic power.
TECHNICAL INFORMATION
Installation Guidelines
- Seat the module securely onto a compatible VersaMax I/O carrier before applying backplane power.
- Provide external noise cancellation and signal conditioning because single-ended wiring has reduced EMI resistance.
- Verify that transceiver devices have separate external power if deployed with current loops.
TECHNICAL INFORMATION
Configuration Guidelines
- Configure channel mode selection between voltage mode and 4 to 20 mA current mode.
- Select unipolar 0 to 10 VDC or bipolar +/-10 VDC ranges in voltage configuration.
- Define module fault behavior to maintain last state or adopt default values upon communication errors.
TECHNICAL INFORMATION
Compatibility
- Mounts on standard GE VersaMax I/O carriers within VersaMax PLC racks.
