Precision Signal Acquisition for VersaMax Systems
The GE IC200ALG240 analog input module provides high-accuracy signal acquisition for the VersaMax I/O platform. This unit accepts signals from up to eight analog devices and delivers 16-bit resolution data to the controller. Industrial applications in process control and manufacturing automation depend on this module for reliable measurement.
Input Specifications and Electrical Characteristics
This analog input module features eight isolated channels configurable for current or voltage operation. The module supports current inputs of 4 to 20 mA or 0 to 20 mA and voltage inputs of ±10 V DC or 0 to 10 V DC. An accuracy of ±0.1% of full scale at 25°C ensures precise measurement across all channels. Furthermore, the module provides robust isolation of 250 V AC continuous and 1500 V AC for one minute between user input and logic or frame ground.

Signal Conditioning and Diagnostic Capabilities
The GE IC200ALG240 incorporates comprehensive diagnostic features for reliable operation. Built-in diagnostics include high/low limit monitoring, over/under-range detection, open-wire detection, and loss of field power supply monitoring. The module also includes a non-volatile memory fault indicator for proactive maintenance. A digital filter with programmable notches at 50 or 60 Hz provides normal mode rejection of 35 dB minimum, reducing power line interference.
Physical Design and Installation
This analog input module features a compact design that fits standard VersaMax carriers. The front panel includes FLD PWR and OK LEDs for immediate visual status feedback. Users can configure alarm levels, default values, and channel scaling via software. Moreover, the module supports hot-swappable operation, enabling replacement without system shutdown.
System Integration and Compatibility
You can install this module in any VersaMax I/O rack with compatible CPU or NIU. The module requires CPU firmware version 1.20 or later for full compatibility. For Ethernet NIU (EBI001) and Genius NIU (GBI001), the module works with specific firmware versions. The module maps its eight input channels to consecutive addresses in the controller’s input table for straightforward data access.
