GE Fanuc IC200ALG240-EB Model IC200ALG240 8CH Input

GE Fanuc IC200ALG240-EB VersaMax Isolated Analog Input Module

The IC200ALG240-EB (Model: IC200ALG240-EB) is a high-performance, intelligent analog input module belonging to the GE Fanuc (now Emerson) VersaMax™ I/O family. This module is specifically engineered for applications requiring high-precision signal acquisition with robust electrical protection, providing 8 channels of isolated analog inputs. It supports bi-polar voltage ranges and uni-polar current ranges, converting field signals from sensors and transmitters into 16-bit digital data. The IC200ALG240-EB is a critical component for distributed control systems where channel-to-channel isolation is necessary to prevent ground loops and signal interference in complex industrial environments.

Advanced Isolation and Signal Integrity

The primary advantage of the IC200ALG240-EB is its channel-to-channel isolation. In many industrial settings, sensors are powered from different sources or located at significant distances, leading to ground potential differences. The IC200ALG240-EB (Model: IC200ALG240-EB) utilizes opto-couplers and isolated DC/DC converters to ensure that each of the 8 inputs is electrically independent. This eliminates ground loop noise and protects the PLC backplane from high-voltage transients on the field side, ensuring the 16-bit data remains accurate for mission-critical PID loops and supervisory monitoring.
