GE IC200ALG260 – VersaMax 12-Bit Voltage/Current Analog Input Module (8 Channels)

In stock

Product Introduction:

The IC200ALG260, developed by GE Fanuc (now Emerson Automation), is a cost-effective and compact analog input module in the VersaMax PLC series. It is designed to convert analog signals from field sensors (such as temperature, pressure, and flow transmitters) into 12-bit digital data for PLC processing. With 8 single-ended channels configurable for either voltage or current inputs, it delivers reliable performance for general-purpose industrial data acquisition in moderate-accuracy applications.

Key Features

Dual Input Flexibility: Configurable via on-board jumpers for voltage (±10V/0–10V) or current (4–20mA) signals, eliminating the need for separate modules.
Fast Real-Time Sampling: 0.4ms per-channel update rate ensures rapid response to dynamic process changes.
Robust Isolation & Noise Rejection: 250VAC continuous isolation protects against electrical noise and high-voltage transients; common-mode rejection ratio (CMRR) >60dB (50/60Hz) ensures stable operation in harsh EMI environments.
Comprehensive Diagnostics: Detects under/over-range, open-wire, loss of internal power, non-volatile memory faults, and high/low alarms; reports issues to the PLC and indicates status via LEDs.
LED Status Indicators:
- INT PWR: Lights when internal field power is active.
- OK: Lights when backplane power is supplied.
Hot-Swappable Design: Allows module replacement during system operation without shutting down the PLC, minimizing maintenance downtime.
Compact & Space-Saving: Standard VersaMax form factor integrates easily into small control cabinets, saving panel space.
Fail-Safe Operation: Analog input data can be configured to hold the last valid state during a fault, preventing unexpected system behavior.
