Product Description

The GE IC200ALG230 module integrates four analog input channels into a compact design, making it a reliable choice for voltage and current signal processing. It offers a flexible configuration with support for both voltage signals as well as 4-20 mA current inputs. The input resolution is 12 bits, ensuring high precision for analog signal conversion.

The module features two status LEDs: INT PWR indicates the presence of internally generated field power, while OK signals the active power supply from the backplane. Additionally, two jumpers on the module allow users to select the mode of operation, including voltage or current configurations and settings.

The GE IC200ALG230 is equipped with an Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) for precise signal conversion. When configured for current operation, the ADC offers a resolution of 4 µA = 8 counts, while the voltage configuration provides a resolution of 2.5 mV = 8 counts.

The module operates with a response time of 0.4 ms, ensuring quick data processing. In the event of a module error, users can configure the input data to either hold the last state or return to a predefined value, enhancing system reliability.

Applications

Industrial automation systems requiring analog signal interfacing.
Systems that need precise voltage and current input signal handling.
Environments where quick response times and high input resolution are critical.

Installation and Compatibility

The GE IC200ALG230 can be easily installed with auxiliary I/O terminals such as IC200TBM001, IC200TBM002, or IC200TBM005. Alternatively, users can opt for terminal-style I/O carriers like IC200CHS001, IC200CHS002, or IC200CHS003, offering flexibility in wiring and system integration.
