GE IC200ALG328J – VersaMax 12-Channel 13-Bit Analog Current Output Module (Revision J)

In stock

Product Introduction

The IC200ALG328J, manufactured by General Electric (GE Fanuc), is a high-density analog output module in the VersaMax I/O series. As Revision J of the IC200ALG328A, it converts digital PLC signals into standard 0–20mA or 4–20mA current outputs to drive field devices like control valves, actuators, and transmitters. It delivers high accuracy, fast response, and robust performance for large-scale process control applications.
