GE IC200ALG260B Analog Input Module

FAQ

Q1: What is the GE Fanuc IC200ALG260B used for?
The IC200ALG260B is a VersaMax analog input module used to acquire voltage and current signals from field instruments and convert them into digital data for PLC control, monitoring, and process applications.

Q2: How many analog input channels does the IC200ALG260B provide?
The module provides 8 single-ended analog input channels. Each channel can accept configurable voltage or current signals depending on the selected input mode.

Q3: What input signals are supported by the IC200ALG260B?
The module supports ±10 VDC bipolar voltage input, 0–10 VDC unipolar voltage input, and 4–20 mA current input, making it suitable for common industrial transmitters and sensors.

Q4: What is the resolution of the IC200ALG260B?
The module provides 12-bit analog-to-digital conversion, allowing accurate measurement of connected analog signals in VersaMax control systems.

Q5: Does the IC200ALG260B require an external power supply?
No. The module receives operating power from the VersaMax backplane. External power may be required depending on the connected field devices and current loop configuration.

Q6: What diagnostic functions are available on the IC200ALG260B?
The module supports diagnostics such as loss of internal power detection, input range monitoring, and status indication through the OK and INT PWR LEDs, helping simplify troubleshooting.

Q7: What does the “B” revision indicate?
The “B” suffix identifies a hardware revision of the IC200ALG260 analog input module. Revision B maintains compatibility with VersaMax systems and includes product lifecycle improvements while keeping the same basic electrical functions.

Q8: What should be checked before replacing an IC200ALG260B module?
Before replacement, verify the VersaMax carrier compatibility, input signal type, wiring configuration, jumper settings, PLC hardware configuration, and scaling parameters to ensure the new module operates correctly in the existing system.
