Description

• Technical Specifications:
  • Input Channels: 15 single-ended channels (all share a common return)
  • Signal Types: 0–20 mA and 4–20 mA current signals
  • Resolution: 15 bits (32768 discrete levels); 0.5 µA per count (4–20 mA); 0.625 µA per count (0–20 mA)
  • Update Rate: 7.5 ms per channel; Filter response 24 Hz (±20%)
  • Accuracy: ±0.3% typical full scale, ±0.5% max full scale (0–25°C); ±1% max full scale (0–60°C)
  • Isolation: 250 VAC continuous / 1500 VAC for 1 minute (input-to-logic/frame ground)
  • Power: Backplane 5 VDC (100 mA max); no external power needed for module operation
  • Input Impedance: 200 Ω
  • Diagnostics: Open wire detection (4–20 mA mode), loss of internal power (field-side circuits), LED indicators (OK, INT PWR)
  • Configuration: Carrier terminal jumper selects 0–20 mA (jumper installed) / 4–20 mA (no jumper)
  • Environmental Ratings: Operating temperature 0°C to +60°C; Storage temperature -40°C to +85°C; Humidity 5%–95% (non-condensing)
  • Dimensions: 10.8 cm × 6.3 cm × 5.7 cm (4.3″ × 2.5″ × 2.3″); Weight 0.1 kg (4.8 oz)
• Function Features:
  • 15 Single-Ended Channels with Individual ADCs: Captures multiple current signals simultaneously with minimal cross-talk
  • 15-Bit High Resolution: Delivers precise digital conversion with 0.5 µA (4–20 mA) and 0.625 µA (0–20 mA) per count
  • Jumper-Configurable Ranges: Carrier terminal jumper sets 0–20 mA/4–20 mA without software, enabling quick field setup
  • Open Wire Detection: Proactively identifies broken sensor wires in 4–20 mA mode for fault prevention
  • Backplane Power Only: Eliminates external wiring for module operation, reducing installation complexity
  • Comprehensive Diagnostics: Alarms for loss of internal power and open wire (4–20 mA mode); LED indicators (OK, INT PWR) for status monitoring
  • Seamless Integration: Works with VersaMax I/O carriers (IC200CHS series) and terminal strips for modular I/O expansion
  • Configurable Fault Response: Holds last valid state or uses predefined value on module error
• Application Scenarios:
  • Process Control: Monitors pressure, temperature, flow, and level via 4–20 mA transmitters in chemical, oil/gas, and water treatment plants
  • Manufacturing Automation: Acquires current-based sensor data for machine control, quality monitoring, and closed-loop feedback in automotive, packaging, and assembly lines
  • Power Generation/Distribution: Captures current signals from transformers, switchgear, and generators for load monitoring and protection
  • Building Automation: Interfaces with HVAC and energy management sensors (current outputs) for facility control systems
  • Material Handling: Monitors load cells, position sensors, and speed feedback for conveyors, cranes, and automated storage systems
• Installation & Maintenance:
  • Mounting: Install on VersaMax I/O carriers (IC200CHS001/002/005/022/025) with auxiliary terminal strips (IC200TBM series) for wiring
  • Configuration: Set carrier terminal jumper for 0–20 mA/4–20 mA before power-up; no jumper defaults to 4–20 mA
  • Wiring: Use single-ended wiring with shielded cables; ground shields at source or module via auxiliary terminal
  • Maintenance: No scheduled replacement parts; check LED indicators for power/status; verify open wire detection during troubleshooting
  • Replacement: Direct drop-in for IC200ALG264C; retains configuration via carrier jumper and backplane communication
