The IC200ALG264 delivers high-performance analog current input for the Versamax I/O system. GE Intelligent Platforms originally designed this module, and Emerson Automation now continues its production. This module acts as a critical bridge between current-based field sensors and the main PLC processor. Its design prioritizes channel density, measurement accuracy, and robust diagnostics. Consequently, the IC200ALG264 suits a wide variety of industrial automation applications.
This current input module offers 15 single-ended input channels within a single group. It accepts two industry-standard current signals: 4-20 mA and 0-20 mA. A simple physical terminal jumper determines the operating mode. Specifically, leaving the jumper uninstalled configures the IC200ALG264 for 4-20 mA operation. This setting serves as the factory default. Alternatively, installing the jumper switches the module to accept 0-20 mA signals. This flexibility allows seamless integration with different sensor types.
The IC200ALG264 provides a 15-bit analog-to-digital conversion resolution. For the 4-20 mA range, this translates to a digital resolution of 0.5 µA per count. For the 0-20 mA range, the resolution becomes 0.625 µA per count. Therefore, the module can detect minute changes in the input current. Its typical accuracy reaches ±0.3% of full scale at 25°C. Over the entire 0 to 60°C operating temperature range, the maximum accuracy is ±1% of full scale.
Furthermore, the module boasts a rapid maximum update rate of 7.5 milliseconds for all channels simultaneously. This speed ensures your control system receives timely data for effective real-time monitoring. The IC200ALG264 draws its operating power exclusively from the PLC backplane. Its maximum current consumption is only 100 mA at 5 VDC. Thus, you do not need an additional external power supply for the module itself.
Diagnostic capabilities significantly enhance the reliability of this input module. The IC200ALG264 can detect a loss of user-side power, quickly alerting you to potential field wiring issues. Additionally, it features an open wire detection function. Please note that this specific diagnostic feature only operates when you configure the module for 4-20 mA mode. The module reports all diagnostic statuses directly to the CPU. From there, the information can appear on HMIs or SCADA systems, greatly simplifying troubleshooting efforts.
An "OK" LED status indicator resides on the module's faceplate. This LED confirms successful power-up and the download of a valid configuration. It also signals that the backplane has recognized the IC200ALG264. This simple visual indicator provides a quick and effective first check of module health.
The IC200ALG264 offers robust electrical isolation to ensure safety and minimize noise interference. It provides 250 Volts AC of continuous user input to logic isolation. Moreover, it delivers 1500 Volts AC of user input to frame ground isolation for one minute. However, you should note that there is no isolation between individual channels or between groups, as all 15 channels share a single group.
Proper installation optimizes module performance. You can mount the IC200ALG264 on terminal-style, compact terminal-style, or connector-style I/O carriers. It occupies a single slot within the Versamax system. For channel wiring, always employ shielded twisted pair cables. This practice effectively reduces electrical noise and preserves signal integrity.
The module communicates its data to the host controller using 15 words of analog input data. Its single-group configuration means all inputs share a common reference point. This design simplifies wiring, especially when multiple sensors share a common return. The IC200ALG264 provides a cost-effective and dense solution for adding 15 current inputs to your Versamax distributed I/O system.
