Product Short Description
- Product Introduction:
- The IC200ALG240 is an 8-channel isolated analog input module in GE’s VersaMax series, designed for industrial data acquisition by converting ±10 VDC voltage or 1–20 mA (4–20 mA standard) current signals into 16-bit digital values for PLC/controller processing. It features full optical isolation between channels and logic, software-configurable ranges, open wire detection, and factory calibration for high accuracy. The module requires backplane logic power and optional external field power for current mode, with LED indicators for status/diagnostics, enabling seamless integration with VersaMax I/O carriers for industrial control systems.
