GE Fanuc IC200NAL110

The GE Fanuc IC200NAL110 is a Versamax Nano Programmable Logic Controller designed for a variety of automation applications. This compact controller features one analog input, six configurable DC inputs, and four relay outputs, each capable of 2 Amps, which are normally open and suitable for controlling devices operating between 5 to 250 V AC or 5 to 30 V DC. The IC200NAL110 operates on a nominal input power of +12 V DC and offers flexibility with its six DC inputs that can be configured for negative or positive logic, or used as High-speed Counter inputs. Input IN1 additionally serves as an 8-bit resolution analog input with a signal range of 0V to 10V; however, software calibration is not available for this analog input.

The relay outputs, which utilize SPST (Single Pole Single Throw) Form A configurations, can manage various devices including solenoids, motor starters, and indicators, with internal relay coils powered by a +24 V DC source. External power is necessary to operate field devices. Notably, the relay outputs can also function as High-Speed Counter outputs, although they do not support Pulse-Width Modulated or Pulse Train outputs; specifications for High-Speed Counter outputs align with those of standard relay outputs.

The unit operates within a DC power range of 9.6 V DC to 15 V DC, with a hold-up time of 3.0 mS. The typical inrush current at 12 V DC is 8A, occurring with a time constant of 200 mS and followed by a typical inrush current of 250 mA. The controller features six inputs rated at 12 V DC, with an effective voltage range between 0 to 15 V DC and a typical input current of 9.0 mA. Input impedance stands at 1.3 kOhms, with a minimum threshold for the on-state at 9.5 V DC and a maximum off-state threshold at 2.5 V DC. Input current characteristics include a maximum threshold current of 6.5 mA in the on-state and a minimum off-state current of 1.6 mA. The user-configurable response time varies from 0.5 to 20 ms for standard inputs and is set at 100 µs for High-Speed Counter inputs. The module’s isolation voltage is rated at 1500V RMS from field side to logic side, and 500V RMS between groups.

The analog input specifications indicate a range of 0 to 10 V, with a maximum input of 10.24 V. It provides an 8-bit resolution with an accuracy of 1% of full scale across a temperature range. The analog input voltage impedance is 100K Ohms, and the input filter time is 200 ms, necessary to achieve 1% error in response to a step input. High-speed counter specifications offer a maximum frequency of 10 kHz, with voltage levels at 9V for ON and 2.5V for OFF, and a count pulse width governed by a duty cycle of 20% to 80% at 10 kHz, with an output load voltage of 12V. Overall, the IC200NAL110 is engineered for reliable performance in diverse control and automation applications.
