Product Description

The IC200ALG230 is a 4-channel, 12-bit analog input module. It acts as an interface between field sensors and the VersaMax backplane, converting analog signals (voltage or current) into digital data for the CPU. Its modular “slice” design allows it to be easily integrated into local or distributed I/O racks.

Product Parameters

Product Advantages

• Dual Mode Flexibility: Each module can be configured for either voltage or current inputs using simple jumpers on the carrier.

• High Precision: 12-bit resolution provides the accuracy needed for critical monitoring of pressure, temperature, and flow.

• Rapid Processing: With a 0.4ms update rate, it is suitable for high-speed industrial applications.

• Compact Design: Part of the “distributed slice” architecture, saving significant cabinet space compared to traditional rack systems.

• Hot-Swappable: Supports mounting on carriers that allow for module replacement without disturbing field wiring.

Precautions

• Jumper Configuration: You must correctly set Jumper 1 (JMP1) and Jumper 2 (JMP2) on the carrier terminals to match your signal type (Current vs. Voltage). Incorrect settings may result in inaccurate readings or device errors.

• External Power: While the module is powered by the backplane, the field transceivers (sensors) usually require an external 24V power supply.

• Grounding: For optimal signal integrity, ensure the cable shields are grounded at the source device or the I/O module to prevent electromagnetic interference (EMI).

• Explosion Hazard: In hazardous locations (Class I, Div 2), do not disconnect the equipment unless power has been switched off.

Product Applications

• Factory Automation: Reading signals from pressure transmitters and flow meters.

• Process Control: Monitoring chemical tank levels and temperature sensors.

• HVAC Systems: Interfacing with air quality and humidity sensors.

• Machine Control: Providing feedback from linear potentiometers or position sensors.
