Overview

The IC200ALG262 is an Input Module from GE. It is part of GE's industrial automation product portfolio.

Application & Technical Notes

As an input module, the IC200ALG262 is intended for deployment in panel-based control cabinets and machine enclosures where the GE product portfolio equipment is installed. It converts field signals (sensors, switches, transmitters) into the digital or analogue values the controller processes, forming the acquisition layer of the automation scheme.

Specific electrical and mechanical ratings depend on the exact configuration and suffix of the part; the original datasheet should be consulted for the definitive specification.

Maintenance & Diagnostics

Verify field wiring, shielding and grounding at installation; check terminal torque and confirm signal types match the configured range. Periodically inspect for loose terminations, induced noise and channel-level diagnostics reported by the controller. Always de-energise the circuit and follow lock-out/tag-out before handling; refer to the official instruction bulletin for service procedures.

Sourcing & Procurement

When sourcing the IC200ALG262, distinguish three supply tiers: (1) genuine GE stock from an authorised distributor; (2) compatible equivalents or surplus/NOS (new-old-stock) from third parties; (3) alternative parts offering equivalent function. Genuine supply carries the full warranty and traceability; compatible or alternative items may be cheaper but should be validated for form, fit, firmware and certification before use in a live system. PLCXpert publishes this page as an independent reference and does not sell the part — verify every claim with the manufacturer or your distributor.

Confirm the module matches your GE product portfolio rack, the required channel count, signal type and voltage, and the firmware/configuration of the controller. Lead times and pricing vary by region and lifecycle status; obtain a current quote from an authorised channel rather than relying on stale listings.

Specifications

Product Description IC200ALG262 is a 15 Bit Differential Current Module with eight channels from GE Versamax. This analog input module offers an interface to eight analog current inputs that receive power from the backplane power supply. This means no external power source is necessary for module operation. However, power for the user’s transceivers is required from an external source. The IC200ALG262 has a single group of eight differential input channels with 15-bit converter resolution. The CPU or NIU performs the intelligent processing for this unit as the module provides eight words of analog input data. This unit reports a loss of power fault for field side circuits and open wire faults for every channel but only in 4-20mA mode. A jumper on the carrier terminal can be used to configure this range or the 0-20mA input range as needed, or the lack of a jumper cable will allow the module to use the 4-20mA range. Additionally, LED lights indicate power and proper functioning. When first installing the IC200ALG262 module, carefully inspect all parts for damage. Do not use damaged parts as this may affect overall functioning. Analog channel connections should be created with shielded twisted pair cable with the cable grounded at the source device. However, if unable to ground at the source, then grounding at the I/O module is appropriate and can be done using the auxiliary I/O terminal. If this option is used, shield connections can be made on an auxiliary I/O terminal connected to the I/O carrier. If additional connections are required, an auxiliary I/O terminal strip can be utilized. Technical Specifications No. of channels: 8 differential, one group Voltage Range: -10 to +10 volts DC Current Range: 4 - 20 mA, 0 - 20 mA Update Rate: 7.5 ms
