GE IC200ALG320 12-Bit 4 Channels Analog Output Module
Analog output modules IC200ALG321 and BXIOAO4205 provide four
analog voltage outputs. The output range is 0 to +10VDC
Analog output modules IC200ALG322 and BXIOAO4210 provide four
analog voltage outputs. The output range is -10 to +10VDC
ANALOG OUTPUT 12BIT
4CH
OK FLD
PWR
An external power supply is required for the outputs.
Intelligent processing for this module is performed by the CPU or
Network Interface Unit. The module receives 4 words of analog output
data.
LED Indicators
The green FLD PWR LED indicates the presence of user-side power for
the analog field-side circuits.
The green OK LED is on when backplane power is present to the
module.
Diagnostics
The module reports a Loss of User Side Power fault for field-side
circuits.
Configuration Parameters
The module is easily set up with a jumper for the outputs to either hold
their last states or default if backplane power or communications are
interrupted or the PLC is stopped. External user power must remain
uninterrupted.
Outputs remain in their default or last state until the module receives
different output data from the backplane, or until field power is removed.
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

Jumper Selection
If no jumper is installed outputs hold their last state (the last commanded
value from the backplane) if backplane power or communications are
interrupted or the PLC is stopped. With a jumper installed, if such
conditions occur outputs default as indicated in the table below.
The jumper setting should only be changed with field power and
backplane power removed.

Cable Shield Connections
Shielded twisted pair cable is recommended for all of the analog channel
connections.
If the module is installed on a Terminal-style I/O Carrier (IC200CHS001,
002, or 005) or a Compact Terminal-style I/O Carrier (IC200CHS022,
025), the cable shield can be connected directly to the carrier per the
Field Wiring Table. An Auxiliary I/O Terminal Strip (IC200TBM001, 002,
or 005) can also be added to the Terminal-style I/O Carriers to aid in
grounding shields. Be sure to ground the Auxiliary I/O Terminal Strip as
well if you plan to use it for this purpose.
If the module is installed on a Connector-style I/O Carrier
(IC200CHS003), the cable shield can be connected directly to an
Interposing Terminal (IC200CHS011, 012, 015). Be sure to ground the
Interposing Terminal. It is recommended to use a shielded interposing
cable as well between the Interposing Terminal and the Connector Base.
A custom shielded cable can be made using the Connector kit
(IC200ACC304). In addition, a custom shield braid can be wrapped
around standard Interposing Cables (IC200CBL105, 110, 120, 230). If
this approach is used be sure to ground the braid.
All cable shield connections should be connected to earth ground and be
kept as short as practical. The power cable does not need to be
shielded
