Configured for current-sourcing loop execution in VersaMax system networks, the GE Fanuc IC200ALG328 (IC200ALG328 Output Module) provides direct physical/electrical execution. The module delivers 12 single-ended analog current output channels operating within a 4-20 mA range to drive field actuators and final control elements.

Backplane Bus Communication Velocity & Firmware Flash Compatibility
The analog output module links across the VersaMax backplane bus, converting 13-bit digital controller values into 4-20 mA current loops at an update rate of 15 ms maximum. System integration maintains firmware flash compatibility across Genius, Profibus, DeviceNet, and Ethernet network interface units, as well as VersaMax PLC CPUs and VersaPro programming environments. Channel output states are individually software-configurable upon CPU stop or loss of backplane bus communication velocity.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does the IC200ALG328 support hot insertion into an active VersaMax baseboard?
A: Yes, the unit supports hot-swapping and hot insertion, provided standard field safety procedures are followed during base installation to protect backplane logic pins.
Q: What power source is required to drive the 12 analog current outputs?
A: An external DC power supply operating within 18 to 30 VDC is required, drawing 100 mA at no-load and 270 mA when all 12 channels operate at full-scale 20 mA output.
Q: How is backplane bus current loading specified for system power budget planning?
A: The module draws a maximum of 550 mA from the 5 VDC backplane bus power supply rail.
Field Installation Guidelines
- Mount the VersaMax carrier base onto a standard 35 mm DIN rail and secure grounding connections prior to module insertion.
- Align the IC200ALG328 connector pins with the carrier base receptacle and press firmly until fully seated.
- Wire the external 18 to 30 VDC power supply to the designated power terminals on the module carrier.
- Route 4-20 mA current-sourcing output conductors using shielded twisted-pair wire, terminating shields at the designated system earth ground busbar.
- Verify thermal derating requirements if operating near 30 VDC line voltage or at elevated ambient temperatures within tight enclosures.
