GE IC200ALG326

Product Overview The IC200ALG326 is an 8-channel, 13-bit resolution analog current output module from the GE Fanuc VersaMax series. It converts digital control signals from the CPU or Network Interface Unit into precise analog current outputs for driving industrial field devices. The module is designed for process control applications requiring accurate signal representation and reliable operation in harsh industrial environments.

Description

GE IC200ALG326 Technical Specifications

  • Output Channels: 8 single-ended, grouped together

  • Resolution: 13-bit

  • Output Range: 4–20 mA (default), 0–20 mA (jumper-configurable)

  • Isolation: 250 VAC continuous; 1500 VAC for 1 minute (user input to logic and to frame ground)

  • LED Indicators: FLD PWR (green, indicates field power present); OK (green, indicates backplane power present)

  • Dimensions: 110 mm (W) × 66.8 mm (H) × 50 mm (D) — excluding carrier height and mating connectors

  • Operating Temperature: 40°C to +70°C

  • Certifications: CE, UL, CSA

Functional Features The module provides current-sourcing outputs with intelligent processing performed by the host CPU or NIU. It automatically converts negative command values to 0 mA. Output behavior during power loss or communication interruption is configurable via jumper — outputs can hold their last state or default to a predefined value. External user power must remain uninterrupted to maintain output states. The module reports Loss of User Side Power faults for field-side circuits.

Applications

  • Process control valve actuation
  • Variable frequency drive speed reference signals
  • Damper and louver positioning in HVAC systems
  • Chemical dosing system control
  • Motor speed regulation in manufacturing lines

Installation Requirements Requires mounting on a VersaMax I/O carrier (such as IC200CHS002 or IC200CHS022). An external 24 VDC power supply is mandatory for field-side output circuits. The module must be properly grounded through the carrier to the DIN rail for EMC protection.
