Product Short Description
Product Introduction:
The IC200ALG328J is a 12-channel single-ended current-sourcing analog output module from GE’s VersaMax I/O series, converting digital controller data into 4–20 mA (default) or 0–20 mA (jumper-configurable) industrial current signals. It features 13-bit resolution, 20.38 mA overrange capacity, and requires external 18–30 VDC field power. The module integrates with VersaMax I/O carriers, uses LED indicators (FLD PWR, OK) for status/diagnostics, and supports loss of user-side power detection and configurable power loss response (last state retention or low-end default).
