Flexible Current and Voltage Output Configuration
The GE IC200ALG320 allows independent configuration of each output channel. Users can set each channel for 4-20mA current or 0-10V voltage operation. This flexibility accommodates various field devices like actuators and recorders. The module provides a 15-bit resolution for fine analog control.
High Accuracy and Temperature Stability
This analog output module achieves ±0.1% accuracy at 25°C for precise signal generation. The temperature drift of ±50 ppm/°C ensures stable performance across temperature changes. Factory-stored calibration data in EEPROM maintains accuracy over the module’s lifetime. Each channel retains its calibration settings even after power cycles.
Fast Update and Settling for Dynamic Control
The module updates output values every 2 ms per channel sequentially. Settling time reaches 0.1% of final value within 100 µs. This fast response supports applications requiring rapid analog signal changes. The sequential update structure prevents output glitches during channel switching.
Wide Output Load Range and Drive Capability
The current outputs drive loads from 0Ω to 600Ω for versatile field connectivity. Voltage outputs operate with loads of 2kΩ or higher for minimal signal degradation. This wide load range accommodates most industrial analog inputs and devices. The module maintains signal integrity across the entire load range.
Compact Design with Removable Terminal Block
The module measures 140 x 95 x 40 mm and weighs only 0.25 kg for space-saving installation. A 12-position removable terminal block simplifies field wiring and module replacement. Users can pre-wire the terminal block before mounting the module. The terminal accepts wires from 0.2 mm² to 2.5 mm² for secure connections.
Low Power Draw for Efficient Systems
The GE IC200ALG320 draws only 100 mA from the 5V backplane supply. Field power consumption ranges from 25 mA at no load to 150 mA at full load. This low power draw minimizes heat generation in densely populated racks. The module operates reliably across 0°C to +60°C ambient temperatures.
