Technical Features & Benefits

The IC200ALG261E is engineered with precision measurement and industrial compatibility in mind. Its 15-bit converter delivers a high level of resolution — meaning small changes in sensor voltages translate into distinct digital counts. With eight inputs, the module consolidates multiple analog signals into a single rack footprint, making efficient use of panel space.

Each of the eight channels on the module supports differential input, typically configured for a voltage range of ±10 V DC. Differential analog measurement enhances immunity to electrical noise and ground potential differences between sensor locations and the PLC rack, preserving measurement integrity in electrically harsh environments.

The converter’s update rate is approximately 7.5 ms for all channels, a performance figure that suits many real-time control and monitoring loops without imposing unacceptable latency. The module also reports diagnostics, including internal power status and general health indicators, which aid technicians during commissioning and troubleshooting.

Because the IC200ALG261E draws its power from the backplane bus (nominally 5 V DC), installation is simplified and consistent with other VersaMax I/O modules. Typical current consumption is within a few hundred milliamps, allowing system designers to budget power resources accurately within panels.

The use of differential inputs means that shielded twisted-pair cables are recommended; these cables should be grounded at the sensor end where possible to limit noise pickup and preserve signal quality over longer runs — a typical requirement for analog modules in industrial settings.

A subtle but practical benefit is the module’s compact physical profile and its compliance with VersaMax I/O conventions. The IC200ALG261E fits into standard VersaMax rack bases, letting engineers scale analog measurement capacity without redesigning panel layouts or overhauling existing PLC backplanes.
