GE IC200ALG260D eight-channel analog input module

Description

Product Introduction & Positioning
The IC200ALG260D is an eight-channel analog input module for the VersaMax family, offering 12-bit resolution for both voltage and current measurements. It plugs into the VersaMax backplane, sharing power and communications with other IO and processing modules to form a cohesive control system. This module supports bipolar or unipolar input ranges, enabling flexible integration with a wide array of field devices such as transmitters, thermocouples, RTDs, and 4–20 mA sensors. It’s positioned for clean installation in mid-size control cabinets, where compact footprints and straightforward diagnostics are valued. The model IC200ALG260D is a familiar building block for engineers maintaining legacy VersaMax systems or planning phased upgrades alongside other GE Fanuc automation components.

Key Technical Features & Functional Benefits
The IC200ALG260D emphasizes dense, reliable analog sensing. Its 12-bit resolution enables finer signal representation than many older modules, supporting more precise control decisions. With eight channels, it suits compact rack layouts while preserving channel independence for parallel measurements. The module supports both voltage and current modes, typically with configurable bipolar/unipolar ranges, which simplifies wiring from diverse sensor portfolios. Channel isolation and backplane compatibility contribute to robust operation in electrically noisy environments, while onboard diagnostics help identify power or communication issues quickly. When paired with the VersaMax backplane and compatible controllers, the IC200ALG260D helps engineers realize stable monitoring, quieter calibration cycles, and better data fidelity for process control and reporting. The model name IC200ALG260D anchors configuration, diagnostics, and asset management across plant sites.
