Functional Description

IC200ALG230 is an analog input module developed by GE. It is part of the VersaMax series. This module is designed to provide data acquisition capabilities in industrial environments by interfacing with either four voltage inputs or four current inputs. The device features 12-bit resolution for both voltage and current signals, ensuring accurate and reliable data capture. It is designed for use in a variety of applications where precision in signal processing is required, including manufacturing processes, automation systems, and industrial control systems.

Features

  • Voltage and Current Inputs: Offers versatile input options, supporting either 4 voltage inputs or 4 current inputs, which makes it adaptable to a wide range of industrial systems. This allows the module to interface seamlessly with different types of transducers, sensors, or field devices, providing flexibility in system design and configuration.
  • 12-Bit Resolution: The module provides 12-bit resolution for both voltage and current inputs, which translates to a high level of accuracy in the measurement and control of analog signals. This is crucial for applications requiring precise monitoring of process variables, such as pressure, temperature, or flow rate.
  • Single-Ended Channels: Configured with a single group of up to four single-ended channels, where all inputs share a common return. This simplifies the wiring and configuration process, reducing installation complexity and potential for wiring errors, especially in large or complex systems.
  • Backplane Powered: The module receives power from the backplane power supply, eliminating the need for an external power source to operate the module itself. This reduces wiring requirements and simplifies overall system setup, making compact and efficient solution for I/O applications.

Diagnostics and LED Indicators

  • Loss of Internal Power: The module can report a Loss of Internal Power fault for the field-side circuits, which helps to quickly identify any issues related to internal power supply, preventing system errors or data loss.
  • LED Indicators:
    • INT PWR LED: The green INT PWR LED indicates that internally-generated field power is present and operating correctly for the analog field-side circuits.
    • OK LED: The green OK LED lights up when backplane power is present, confirming that the module is receiving the necessary power from the system’s backplane.

Configuration Parameters

  • One jumper on the carrier is used to select either voltage or current mode. When the jumper is installed, the module accepts current inputs in the 4mA to 20mA range. When the jumper is not installed, the module accepts voltage inputs ranging from -10VDC to +10VDC.
  • In voltage mode, another jumper allows you to select between unipolar or bipolar operation. This allows the module to handle both positive and negative voltage signals, making it suitable for a variety of input sources, whether they are designed for unidirectional or bidirectional signal ranges.
  • In voltage mode, there is an additional option to configure the voltage input range between 0V to 10VDC, allowing the module to be optimized for systems that require specific input signal ranges.

Preinstallation and Setup

  • Inspect the shipping containers for any damage and report any issues to the delivery service.
  • Save all serial numbers for warranty and support purposes.
  • Retain the shipping containers and packing material in case the equipment needs to be transported again.

Cable Shield Connections

  • If possible, ground the cable at the source device to prevent electromagnetic interference (EMI).
  • If grounding at the source is not possible, the cable shield must be grounded at the I/O module using an Auxiliary I/O Terminal (IC200TBM001, 002, or 005). This ensures the integrity of the analog signals and minimizes the impact of external noise on the system.

Module Characteristics

  • Channels: 4 single-ended channels in one group,.
  • Module ID: Identified by the Module ID: FFFF9004.
  • Isolation: The module provides optical isolation between user input and logic, and isolation to the frame ground is 250VAC continuous and 1500VAC for 1 minute, ensuring safety and protection from voltage spikes.
  • Backplane Current Consumption: 125mA max at 5V.

 

Power Supply and Consumption

  • Receives its power from a power supply integrated into the backplane of the VersaMax system. This internal power eliminates the need for an external power supply to operate the analog input module itself. However, if the connected user transceivers require power, an external power supply will be necessary.
  • The module consumes five volts and draws a maximum of 125 milliamps of current from the backplane, ensuring efficient operation without overloading the system.

Input Voltage and Current Specifications

  • Default Bipolar Input Voltage: The module’s default configuration allows for a bipolar input voltage range of ±10 volts DC, which is suitable for applications that require the monitoring of both positive and negative voltages.
  • Unipolar Input Voltage: The unipolar input range is 0 to 10 volts DC, catering to applications where only positive voltage levels need to be monitored.
  • Current Mode: When configured for current input, the module can handle signals ranging from 4 to 20 milliamps, a standard range for industrial current loops.

Configuration and Operation Modes

The module's carrier terminals are equipped with two jumpers, allowing users to configure the input mode:

  • Voltage Mode: In voltage mode, the jumpers can be set to enable either unipolar (0 to 10 volts) or bipolar (±10 volts) operation. This flexibility allows the module to adapt to different signal types and measurement requirements.
  • Current Mode: When set to current mode, the module handles inputs within the 4 to 20 milliamp range, which is ideal for industrial sensors and transmitters that operate on current loops.
  • Single-Ended Channels: All inputs are single-ended, meaning that each input shares a common return path. This design simplifies wiring but requires careful consideration to avoid ground loops or signal interference
