{"product_id":"ge-ic200alg320e-versamax-analog-output-module","title":"GE IC200ALG320E VersaMax Analog Output Module","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOutput Function and Signal Characteristics\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOutput Configuration\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cfigure\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eParameter\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIC200ALG320E\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGE\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSeries\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVersaMax\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduct Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAnalog Output Module\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNumber of Channels\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOutput Signal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCurrent\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOutput Range\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4-20 mA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eResolution\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4 uA = 8 counts\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUpdate Rate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.3 ms maximum\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAccuracy at 25 deg C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e+\/-0.3% typical of full scale; +\/-0.5% maximum\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eExternal Power Supply\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18-30 VDC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eExternal Current Consumption\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e160 mA maximum, including load current\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBackplane Current Consumption\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50 mA maximum at 5 V\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOutput Configuration\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4 mA default or hold last state\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLED Indicators\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFLD PWR, OK\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10.9 cm x 6.4 cm x 5.8 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.2 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInstallation and Compatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShielded 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQ: What is the difference between IC200ALG320E and IC200ALG320?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQ: What happens to the analog outputs if backplane communication is interrupted?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQ: Can IC200ALG320E be installed in a VersaMax expansion rack?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: Yes, subject to the carrier revision requirement. GE documentation specifies Revision C or later for modules installed in expansion racks. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GE Fanuc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67954606211162,"sku":"IC200ALG320E","price":175.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/4601\/3530\/files\/IC200ALG320E1.jpg?v=1762411854","url":"https:\/\/www.plcmasters.com\/products\/ge-ic200alg320e-versamax-analog-output-module","provider":"PLC Masters Ltd.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
