Description
GE IC200ALG620 is a 4‑channel RTD/resistance analog input module in GE Fanuc’s VersaMax series, dedicated to high‑precision temperature/resistance measurement in industrial process control and machinery monitoring systems. GE IC200ALG620 supports 3‑wire/4‑wire RTDs (platinum, copper, nickel, nickel‑iron) and direct resistance inputs (0‑500/0‑3000Ω), with 16‑bit resolution for stable, accurate data capture. GE IC200ALG620 integrates per‑channel diagnostics for open RTD, short circuits, over/under‑range, and wiring faults, with LED indicators for instant status monitoring. GE IC200ALG620 features automatic A/D calibration at power‑up and periodic re‑calibration, compensating for ambient temperature drift to maintain ±0.15% measurement accuracy. GE IC200ALG620 needs no external power—its backplane‑supplied excitation current powers RTDs, simplifying wiring and reducing system complexity. GE IC200ALG620’s 1500V AC field‑to‑frame isolation and 120dB common mode rejection ensure reliable operation in noisy industrial environments.

Selection Recommendations
- Choose GE IC200ALG620 for VersaMax PLC systems needing RTD/resistance measurement with auto‑calibration and minimal wiring.
- Prefer GE IC200ALG620 for critical temperature monitoring (refining, steel, food processing) requiring ±0.15% accuracy and per‑channel diagnostics.
- Select GE IC200ALG620 when 1500V AC isolation and strong noise immunity are needed in high‑interference industrial environments.
- Use GE IC200ALG620 for applications where no external power is available for RTD excitation to simplify system design.
Precautions
- Limit lead resistance to ≤5Ω per lead to avoid degrading GE IC200ALG620’s measurement accuracy.
- Use only 3‑wire/4‑wire RTDs as specified—2‑wire RTDs will cause significant errors in GE IC200ALG620 readings.
- Follow ESD protocols when handling GE IC200ALG620 to protect its sensitive analog circuits.
- Ensure backplane power (5V/3.3V) is stable to maintain GE IC200ALG620’s auto‑calibration and diagnostic functions.
- Check LED status and diagnostic data regularly to proactively address faults and extend GE IC200ALG620’s service life.
