GE IC200ALG331-DA – Analog Output Module for VersaMax Systems

The GE IC200ALG331-DA converts digital commands into continuous analog signals for field actuators. This analog output module measures 110 mm in height and 50 mm in width. It has a depth of 70 mm, so it fits standard DIN rails easily. The unit weighs 0.16 kg, making installation quick and straightforward.

Output Channels and Signal Ranges

This analog output module provides 2 independent output channels on its front panel. The GE IC200ALG331-DA delivers voltage outputs from 0 to 10V DC. It also provides current outputs from 4 to 20 mA for loop-powered devices. Each channel includes a dedicated 12-bit digital-to-analog converter for precision. You can configure each channel individually for voltage or current mode.

Conversion Accuracy and Response Time

The GE IC200ALG331-DA achieves a conversion accuracy of ±0.1 percent of full scale. It updates both outputs within 10 milliseconds for smooth control. The settling time for a full-scale step change reaches 3 milliseconds. Each output channel can drive loads up to 500 ohms in current mode. Voltage outputs drive loads down to 2,000 ohms minimum resistance.

Internal Architecture and Component Layout

The module contains two separate circuit boards inside its plastic housing. One board handles digital-to-analog conversion, while the other manages backplane communication. The GE IC200ALG331-DA includes a dedicated microcontroller for output scaling. A 10-pin removable terminal block accepts all field wiring connections. The module stores 33 µF of capacitance for power supply filtering only.

Backplane Interface and Power Requirements

A VersaMax backplane connector provides power and communication to this module. The GE IC200ALG331-DA draws 80 mA at 5V DC from the backplane supply. It requires external 24V DC power for the output circuits. The module operates reliably from 0°C to 60°C ambient temperature. It tolerates humidity levels up to 95 percent without any condensation issues.

Below is a complete summary of its technical specifications.

The GE IC200ALG331-DA replaces older analog output modules in VersaMax systems. You do not need any special configuration tools for basic operation. This module also supports hot-swapping for maintenance without system shutdown. Consequently, it controls valves and actuators in distributed process applications.
