Features:
- Fifteen single-ended bipolar-voltage inputs
- One common return for the complete input group
- Internal A/D path checking with a defined stop-scan response
The
General Electric IC200ALG263 part number identifies the fifteen-channel voltage option in the VersaMax analog input family.
A dense group of bipolar sources is converted into fifteen ordered words while a known-stimulus test checks the internal A/D path.
All source references must suit the shared A17 return, and shield connections follow the installed carrier style. The controller configuration also defines whether lost module data changes to a default value or retains the last reading.
The General Electric IC200ALG263 Voltage Input Module may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

Important Notice: Other accessories, manuals, cables, calibration data, software, etc. are not included with this equipment unless listed in the above stock item description. All prices are shown in USD.
A/D Self-Test and Recovery
- Known stimulus: The module checks its conversion path by applying an internal reference to the A/D converter.
- Failure threshold: Three consecutive unexpected test results cause the module to stop scanning.
- Local indication: The OK LED turns off when the self-test creates an Internal Hardware fault.
- Recovery action: The manual directs a power cycle and module replacement if the same internal fault returns.
Shared Reference and Shield Connections
- Signal reference: All fifteen voltage inputs measure their sources against the A17 common terminal.
- Return expansion: An auxiliary terminal strip and shorting bar can provide additional common connection points.
- Isolation boundary: The input group is isolated from logic and frame but not between its individual channels.
- Shield routing: Cable shields connect according to the grounding arrangement shown for the installed carrier.
Word Mapping and Loss-State Behavior
- Channel order: Fifteen returned words preserve the sequence of the fifteen physical voltage terminals.
- Bipolar scale: Controller logic converts signed counts across the documented –10 to +10 V span.
- Default response: A configured fallback value can replace channel data after the host loses the module.
- Hold-last response: The alternative loss setting retains the most recent value instead of applying the default.
- Stale-data flag: Application logic can use module status so a retained word is not treated as a new conversion.
Fifteen-Point Bipolar Voltage Groups
- Conditioned sources: Up to fifteen –10 to +10 V devices can share one module position when their references are compatible.
- Dense feedback: Drives, transducers and controllers can map their voltage outputs to individual host words.
- Remote placement: VersaMax NIU operation locates the shared-return voltage group near its field wiring.
