GE IC200ALG620

Description

The GE IC200ALG620 is a VersaMax Analog Input RTD Module. Here’s a breakdown of its functionalities and where to find more information:

Product Name: GE IC200ALG620 VersaMax Analog Input RTD Module

Product Description:

This module functions as an interface within the GE VersaMax programmable logic controller (PLC) system. It specifically handles analog input signals from Resistance Temperature Detectors (RTDs), which are sensors that measure temperature by their electrical resistance change. The IC200ALG620 converts these analog signals into digital data that the PLC can understand and process for temperature control applications.

Key Functionalities:

• RTD Input: The module accepts analog voltage signals from up to four connected RTDs.
• Analog-to-Digital Conversion: It converts the analog voltage signals from the RTDs into digital data with 16-bit resolution.
• Temperature Measurement (Indirect): The PLC can use the converted digital data to calculate the actual temperature based on the specific RTD characteristics programmed into the system.
• Potential Features (Depending on Model): Some variations might offer additional features like:
  • Cold junction compensation: Accounts for temperature variations at the connection point between the RTD and the module for accurate readings.
  • Linearization: Converts the non-linear response of some RTDs into a linear voltage output for easier temperature calculations.

Product Parameters (Might Vary):

In-depth technical specifications might vary depending on the specific model variation of the IC200ALG620. Here’s a general outline based on similar modules and publicly available information:

• Number of RTD Input Channels: Typically 4 (exact number depends on the model).
• Supported RTD Types: The specific types of RTDs compatible with the module (e.g., Pt100, Pt1000).
• Input Voltage Range: The range of analog voltage signals the module can accept from the RTDs (exact range depends on the model).
• Temperature Measurement Range: The range of temperatures the module can measure indirectly through the RTDs (exact range depends on the model).

Finding More Information:

Here are some suggestions to learn more about the GE IC200ALG620:

• GE Grid Solutions Website:
  • Search for GE Grid Solutions’ website, particularly the industrial controls or automation section. While the IC200ALG620 might be an older model, they might have resources:
    • Product Manuals (if available): These would detail technical specifications, configuration, installation, and troubleshooting procedures for the module.
• Industrial Parts Suppliers: Search online stores specializing in industrial automation replacement parts or GE automation equipment. They might have: * Limited Information: While in-depth specifications might be scarce, they could offer the module itself or suggest compatible alternatives with similar functionalities. * Manufacturer Catalogs (if available): Some suppliers might have access to older GE catalogs that might list the IC200ALG620 and its specifications.
• Online Archive Websites (Lower Success Probability): Look for the “GE IC200ALG620 datasheet” or “GE IC200ALG620 user manual” on archive websites like Archive.org (https://archive.org/). Availability of such resources cannot be guaranteed.

Current Status:

The GE IC200ALG620 might be an older model. GE might not explicitly list it as discontinued, but there’s a possibility of newer analog input modules for the VersaMax system with potentially improved features or functionalities.

Important Considerations:

• Selecting the appropriate analog input module depends on the specific type of RTD sensors you’re using and the temperature measurement range required for your application.
• Working with industrial control systems requires proper training and adherence to safety regulations due to the potential presence of high voltage and currents.
• Always consult the user manual or relevant safety guidelines before working with the GE IC200ALG620 or any component within a VersaMax PLC system.
