Product Introduction
The GE IC200ALG432B is a robust and compact analog mixed module that belongs to the VersaMax™ family by GE Fanuc Automation. This module uniquely combines both analog input and output functionalities within a single unit, which helps reduce hardware footprint and wiring complexity.
The IC200ALG432B provides two analog inputs and two analog outputs, enabling efficient and cost-effective analog signal handling for industrial control applications. This dual-function capability makes it highly suitable for installations where space and modularity are critical. The inputs support voltage-type signals (±10V), while the outputs can deliver precise analog signals in the same voltage range, allowing for seamless integration with sensors and actuators in the field.
Built to meet the demands of modern automation systems, the IC200ALG432B is designed with high signal accuracy, built-in diagnostics, and reliable performance in a wide range of industrial environments.
