Features:
- Sources twelve analog current channels from one field-powered module.
- Supports a bank-wide choice between 4-20 mA and 0-20 mA.
- Publishes carrier-specific derating guidance for demanding installations.
The General Electric IC200ALG328 ordering code is the 13-bit current-output counterpart for applications that need twelve single-ended loops in one VersaMax position.
A controller or network interface supplies twelve output words, and the module reports missing user-side power rather than leaving operators to infer the cause from a dark loop.
Check total loop burden, field-source headroom, DIN-rail orientation and ambient temperature together when replacing or expanding a fully loaded installation.
The General Electric IC200ALG328 12-Channel Analog Current Output Module is supported by Apter Power with documentation and system-matching assistance.

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.
Whole-Bank Range Choice
- Default Mode: With JMP1 open, the outputs use the 4-20 mA range.
- Alternate Mode: Installing JMP1 selects 0-20 mA for every channel.
- Overrange: The documented high end extends to approximately 20.38 mA.
- Negative Data: CPU and NIU stations handle negative commands differently.
Loop Burden Limits
- Resistance: The published ceiling is 800 Ω and also depends on field-supply voltage.
- Capacitance: Connected loop capacitance is limited to 0.1 µF.
- Inductance: The stated inductive-load maximum is 0.5 H.
- Supply Margin: Use the manual's RL(max) formula before approving a long cable run.
- Full-Scale Demand: All twelve outputs at full scale raise module field current to 270 mA.
Event-Specific Low-End Response
- Hold Link: JMP2 open selects hold-last operation when field power remains.
- Default Link: JMP2 installed requests the low end of the chosen current range.
- Field Loss: Removing the external supply drives the physical output to 0 mA.
- Host Difference: A CPU and an NIU do not produce identical results for every interruption event.
Carrier and Orientation Checks
- 24 V Operation: No derating is specified at a 24 VDC field source.
- 30 V Operation: Some installations require channel reduction as temperature rises.
- Mounting Direction: Horizontal and vertical DIN-rail orientations use different diagrams.
- Carrier Type: Connector and terminal-style carriers have separate limits.
- Ambient Review: Compare enclosure temperature with the exact manual curve before energizing all loops.
