The GE Fanuc Automation IC200ALG328 Versamax I/O module has a thermal derating only when used at 30 volts DC and placed in a specific location on the DIN rail.

This derating is also dependent on the ambient air temperature present.GE Fanuc Automation IC200ALG328 Versamax I/O Modules are rated for 18 to 30 volts DC.

The IC200ALG328 is a 12-channel, 13-bit current analog output module designed for the GE Fanuc Versamax family.

The IC200ALG328 has a default output range, but the output range can be easily changed with jumpers.

All outputs require external power, and the IC200ALG328 module will be intelligently processed by the CPU or Network Interface Unit.

If the backplane power or communication is interrupted, or if the PLC stops running, the outputs of the IC200ALG328 module can be easily kept in their last state, or in their default state via jumpers.

The backplane must send different output data to the module or the outputs will remain in their default or previous state.

In 0-20mA range mode, the current output signal value of 0mA corresponds to a %AQ value of 0 count and 20mA corresponds to a %AQ value of +32.000 count.

If in 4-20mA range mode, 0 %AQ count value corresponds to 4mA output current and +32.000 %AQ count value corresponds to 20mA output current.

If the IC200ALG328 is placed in the PLC rack, the negative value will be adapted and commanded as 0mA regardless of the range selected.

The IC200CH003 is a connectorized I/O carrier from GE Fanuc Automation.

The IC200CH003 I/O carrier weighs 0.113 kg and has a 36-pin connector for input/output cables.

The carrier provides backplane communication, mounting, and field wiring for one input/output module.

You will find a module latch hole for securing the module to the carrier.

The carrier also provides quick connections for wiring up to 32 input/output points and 4 common power connections.

During rail mounting, the IC200CH003 I/O bracket snaps easily into the DIN rail.

The dimensions are as follows: 7.5 mm x 35 mm: 7.5 mm x 35 mm.

For EMC protection, the DIN must be electrically grounded. The rail must also be electrically conductive and corrosion resistant.

The field wiring can be connected directly to the connector itself by means of contacts crimped onto the end of the wires.

I/O devices can be connected directly to the mating I/O terminals. To install a prewired connection cable, place the cable connector over the connector on the carrier and press down until the latch engages the connector.

To remove the cable, you must hold the connector and press the latch upward to release the connector.

Occasionally, the operating equipment may become hot due to high ambient temperatures. In this case, handle the connector carefully.

Do not touch them directly. Also, avoid exposed connector pins.
