Product Description
Analog Input Module IC200ALG262 provides an interface to eight analog current inputs.

OK

ANALOG INPUT 15BIT

CURRENT DIFF 8CH

The module receives power from the backplane power supply. No external power source is required for module
operation. Power for the user’s transceivers must be supplied from an external source.
Module features include:
▪ Eight differential input channels, one group
▪ Fifteen bit converter resolution
▪ Software-configurable selection of default/hold last state operation

Host Interface
Intelligent processing for this module is performed by the CPU or NIU. The module provides 8 words of analog input data.

Diagnostics
The module reports a Loss of Internal Power fault for field-side circuits. The module reports an Open Wire fault for each
channel, when in4-20mA mode.

LED Indicators
The green OK LED is on when backplane power is present, internally generated field power is functioning properly, the
module has been configured, and the module has been recognized on the backplane.

Configuration Parameters
A jumper on the carrier terminals can be used to configure 4-20mA or 0-20mA input ranges. With no jumper installed,
the module accepts 4-20mA input signals. With a jumper installed, the module accepts 0-20mA input signals.

Preinstallation Check
Carefully inspect all shipping containers for damage. If any equipment is damaged, notify the delivery service
immediately. Save the damaged shipping container for inspection by the delivery service. After unpacking the
equipment, record all serial numbers. Save the shipping containers and packing material in case it is necessary to
transport or ship any part of the system.

Operating Note
If hot insertion of a module is done improperly, the operation of other modules on the same backplane may be
disrupted. See Installing a Module on a Carrier in the VersaMax Modules Manual, GFK-1504.

Installation in Hazardous Locations

• EQUIPMENT LABELED WITH REFERENCE TO CLASS I, GROUPS A, B, C & D, DIV. 2 HAZARDOUS LOCATIONS IS
SUITABLE FOR USE IN CLASS I, DIVISION 2, GROUPS A, B, C, D OR NON-HAZARDOUS LOCATIONS ONLY.

WARNING
• EXPLOSION HAZARD - SUBSTITUTION OF COMPONENTS MAY IMPAIR SUITABILITY FOR CLASS I, DIVISION 2;
• EXPLOSION HAZARD - WHEN IN HAZARDOUS LOCATIONS, TURN OFF POWER BEFORE REPLACING OR WIRING
MODULES; AND
• EXPLOSION HAZARD - DO NOT DISCONNECT EQUIPMENT UNLESS POWER HAS BEEN SWITCHED OFF OR THE AREA
IS KNOWN TO BE NONHAZARDOUS.

In the presence of severe RF interference, (IEC 1000-4-3, 10V/m), accuracy may be degraded to +/-1%. Input accuracy may
be degraded an additional +/-1% with the introduction of input common mode voltage.

An external source must be provided to power input transceivers.

Cable Shield Connections

Shielded twisted pair cable is recommended for the analog channel connections. If possible, the cable should be
grounded at the source device. If that is not possible, the cable shield must be grounded at the I/O module. This can be
done using an Auxiliary I/O Terminal.
If the module is installed on a Terminal-style I/O Carrier, shield connections can be made on an Auxiliary I/O Terminal
that is attached to the I/O carrier.
If the module is installed on a Compact Terminal-style I/O Carrier, shield connections can be made on an Auxiliary I/O
Terminal that is mounted near the I/O carrier.
If the module is installed on a Connector-style I/O Carrier, the cable shield can be connected directly to an Interposing
Terminal. A shielded interposing cable (shielded cables are available separately) must be used between the Connector-
style I/O Carrier and the Interposing Terminal.

An Auxiliary I/O Terminal Strip can also be added to the Interposing Terminal if additional shield connections are
required.

output by the module.

Count

The following equations can be used to calculate count values:

4-20mA Range: Counts = ( Current in mA - 4mA) x (32000 / 16mA)

0-20mA Range: Counts = ( Current in mA ) x (32000 / 20mA)

Note 1) In 4-20mA mode, signal inputs below 4.077mA are converted to zero counts.
Note 2) In 4-20mA mode, signal inputs at 20.000mA or above 20.383mA are converted to 32000 counts.
The count value must be a multiple of 4. If the module receives a count value that is not a multiple of 4, It rounds the
value down to the closest multiple of 4. For example, in 4-20mA mode:
Count mA
16000 12.000
16003 12.000
16004 12.002
