Description
The GE IC200ALG320E is a four-channel, 12-bit current analog output module for the GE Fanuc VersaMax I/O system. It provides 4-20 mA current signals for controlling external analog devices. Revision E incorporates an improved module latching mechanism compared with earlier revisions, making the revision identifier relevant when checking replacement parts.
Output Function and Signal Characteristics
The IC200ALG320E converts digital output values received through the VersaMax backplane into analog current signals. Its four single-ended output channels share one group and provide independent current outputs for connected field devices.
The 4-20 mA signal range supports analog control loops. The module has a maximum update rate of 0.3 ms, while its specified resolution is 4 uA per 8 counts. Output accuracy is specified at 25 deg C, with typical and maximum limits.
Output Configuration
The module provides a jumper-selectable output behavior for conditions such as loss of backplane power, interrupted communications, or a stopped PLC. Outputs can be configured to default to 4 mA or hold their last state. The selected behavior should match the control system's required response to loss of normal output updates.

Installation and Compatibility
The IC200ALG320E requires a VersaMax I/O carrier for installation. GE documentation identifies compatibility with the initial release of VersaMax CPUs and NIUs. For installation in expansion racks, the carrier modules must meet the specified revision requirements.
Shielded twisted-pair cable is recommended for analog field connections. During replacement, verify the carrier type, field wiring, external power supply, and output configuration before returning the module to service.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between IC200ALG320E and IC200ALG320?
A: IC200ALG320E is Revision E of the IC200ALG320 analog output module. The Revision E release introduced an improvement to the module latching mechanism in July 2005.
Q: What happens to the analog outputs if backplane communication is interrupted?
A: The output behavior depends on the configured jumper setting. The module can default to 4 mA or retain its last output state. Check the existing jumper configuration before replacing the module.
Q: Can IC200ALG320E be installed in a VersaMax expansion rack?
A: Yes, subject to the carrier revision requirement. GE documentation specifies Revision C or later for modules installed in expansion racks.
