FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION:

IC200ALG240 is a 16-Bit Versamax Analog Input Module manufactured and designed by GE Mark II Series as part of the GE Speedtronic Gas Turbine Control Systems. The Analog Input Module with 8 isolated inputs is an intelligent module that accepts input signals from up to 8 analog devices and provides input data with 16 bits of resolution. A separate power supply may be required for isolated inputs in the current mode. Module features include:

• Eight isolated 4-20mA current input channels
• Sixteen-bit converter resolution
• Open wire detection
• High-accuracy factory calibration
• Per-channel selection of 4-20mA current or +/�10V voltage inputs
• Selectable input filter to reject normal mode AC pickup noise
• Selection of default/hold last state operation
• Per-channel selection of default values
• Per-channel selection of under-range and over-range diagnostics levels
• Per-channel selection of alarm levels
• Field re-calibration on command

The Analog Input Module features 8 analog inputs with 16-bit resolution, �0.1% accuracy at 25�C, and 1500V AC isolation. It supports standalone I/O station configurations and allows hot insertion. The module ensures quick, cost-effective wiring without the need for special tools. It includes a programmable digital field input filter with 50 or 60 Hz notches and diagnostic capabilities such as high/low limits, open wire detection, field power loss, and non-volatile memory fault diagnostics.

CABLE SHIELD CONNECTIONS:

The module is installed on a Terminal-style I/O Carrier (IC200CHS001, 002, or 005) or Compact Terminal-style I/O Carrier (IC200CHS022 or 025), the cable shield can be connected directly to the carrier per the Field Wiring Table. An Auxiliary I/O TerminalStrip (IC200TBM001, 002, or 005) can also be added to the Terminal-style I/O Carriers to assist in grounding shields. If the module is installed on a Compact Terminal-style I/OCarrier (IC200CHS022, 025), shield connections can be made on an Auxiliary I/O terminal that is mounted near the I/O carrier. Be sure to ground the Auxiliary I/OTerminal Strip if you plan to use it for this purpose. If the module is installed on a Connector-style I/O Carrier (IC200CHS003), the cableshield can be connected directly to an Interposing Terminal (IC200CHS011, 012, 015). Be sure to ground the Interposing Terminal. It is recommended to use a shielded interposing cable as well between the Interposing Terminal and the Connector Base. A custom-shielded cable can be made using the Connector kit (IC200ACC302). In addition, a custom shield braid can be wrapped around standard Interposing Cables (IC200CBL105,110, 120, 230). If this approach is used be sure to ground the braid.

OPERATION:

The default parameters of this module can be used in many applications. The module can be software-configured when it is installed in a VersaMax PLC system or an I/O Station controlled by a Network Interface Unit that is version 2.0 or above. The module is configured at startup. If the module is autoconfigured, it will operate with its default features. After configuration, the module begins receiving signals from the input devices connected to it.

CONFIGURABLE FEATURES:

• Channel Active: Each channel can be configured as either active or inactive. If a channel is inactive, it is not scanned and a value of 0 is returned by the module.

• Low Alarm Limit and High Alarm Limit: Each input channel can have a low alarm limit and a high alarm limit. If an input reaches one of its limits, the module reports the actual value and sends the appropriate diagnostic input bit. Alarms do not stop the process or change the value of the input.

• Alarm limits can be set anywhere over the dynamic range of the signal. The range for each is �32,768 to +32,767. The high alarm limit must be greater than the low alarm limit. If alarm reporting is not wanted, alarm limits can be set beyond the dynamic range of the signal so they will never be activated.

• Scaling: The module converts electrical signals (either current or voltage, as configured) into digital output values for the CPU or NIU. By default, the module converts this data from 1 millivolt or 1 microamp �internal units� for convenience in scaling and comparing to actual meter measurements.

• Fault Reporting: By default, the module is configured for fault reporting. The module reports faults as soon as they are detected. Once a fault has been reported, the same fault is not reported again until the fault has been cleared. Fault reporting can be disabled via configuration. If disabled, faults are not reported.
