FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Technical Specifications:

Q: What is the true digital resolution and the maximum current capability of the module?

A: The module has a 12-bit resolution with an over-range output up to 20.38 mA per channel.

Wiring & Installation:

Q: What is the recommended wire type and how should its shielding be terminated?

A: Shielded twisted cable is recommended; the shield connects directly to the carrier if supported by the wiring table.

Troubleshooting & Compatibility:

Q: What is the function of the FLD PWR LED and how can output behavior be configured on PLC stop?

A: FLD PWR indicates external field power; a jumper sets outputs to hold last state or default to 4 mA on PLC stop.

Replacement & Upgrades:

Q: What is the minimum external voltage supply and the typical isolation rating for the IC200ALG320?

A: External power must be 18 to 30 VDC, and isolation is 1500 VAC for one minute.
