GE IC200ALG620-CA Analog Input RTD Module

This GE IC200ALG620-CA module measures temperature directly from RTD sensors. It accepts platinum, nickel, and copper resistance devices. This analog input module belongs to the VersaMax product family.

Technical Specifications

The GE IC200ALG620-CA measures 140 mm in length. Its width reaches 70 mm with a height of 55 mm. This RTD module weighs approximately 0.22 kilograms. A single PCB assembly holds all signal conditioning and conversion components.

Design and Energy Storage

This unit stores minimal energy in small filter capacitors. Each channel includes a precision current source for excitation. The module automatically linearizes resistance to temperature values. Surface-mount technology boosts reliability in industrial environments. Furthermore, this RTD module has LED indicators for each channel’s activity.

Installation and Connectivity

You can mount this module on a standard DIN rail. It accepts field wiring via removable screw terminals. A ribbon cable connects the module to a VersaMax controller. Consequently, you complete the installation within a few minutes. Finally, color-coded labels identify each RTD channel clearly.

Performance and Temperature Measurement

This unit consumes only 1.8 watts during normal operation. Its 150 ms conversion time provides rapid temperature updates. Thus, you get precise readings for HVAC and process control applications. The module detects open-wire and short-circuit conditions automatically. This device also features 3-wire lead compensation for accurate long-distance measurement.

Typical Applications

Use this RTD module for monitoring bearing temperatures in turbines. It also excels at measuring process temperatures in chemical plants. Many plants select this unit for HVAC system control applications. The compact module design saves valuable panel space effectively. Finally, automatic scaling outputs temperature directly in degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit.
