GE Fanuc VersaMax IC200ALG322 12-Bit 4-Channel Analog Output Module

The GE Fanuc IC200ALG322 is a 4-channel analog voltage output module for the VersaMax PLC series. It provides ±10.24V outputs with 12-bit resolution, built-in field power diagnostics, and a compact design for precise industrial control applications.

Product Overview

The IC200ALG322 serves as a precision interface for the GE Fanuc VersaMax PLC system, providing four distinct analog voltage output channels. This module essentially enables the central processor to control external field devices, such as variable speed drives, valves, and actuators, by converting digital data into analog voltage signals. Because it integrates seamlessly with the VersaMax I/O family, the module benefits from a compact footprint and high-density design. Consequently, it remains an ideal choice for distributed control applications where both cabinet space and signal accuracy are paramount.

Technical Functionality

Regarding its operational range, the module outputs ±10.24 Volts DC and delivers high-performance control through a 12-bit resolution. While the device pulls its logic power directly from the backplane (consuming 50mA at 5VDC), it is important to note that the output circuits themselves require an external 24VDC field power supply to drive connected loads. To maintain system reliability, the module features onboard intelligent diagnostics. These internal processors actively monitor the field-side circuits and immediately report power loss or hardware faults back to the CPU. Furthermore, the module boasts a minimum crosstalk rejection of 70 dB, which effectively prevents signal interference between adjacent channels and ensures precise output stability.

Installation and Performance

In order to achieve optimal performance, users should install the IC200ALG322 in environments shielded from extreme radiofrequency interference, as excessive noise can occasionally degrade signal precision. Moreover, the module supports hot-swapping when used with the appropriate VersaMax carrier, which allows for seamless maintenance without shutting down the entire PLC rack. Meanwhile, engineers must ensure that all external wiring strictly adheres to the specified minimum resistive load of 5000 Ohms to prevent signal clipping or unnecessary hardware strain.
