Product Description:
The IC697ALG230 is a base converter module from the Series 90-70 Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) platform that is formerly manufactured by GE Fanuc Automation, currently under Emerson Automation. This module is part of a high-level analog system that comes with Eight (8) differential inputs individually configurable for voltage or current signals particularly, 4-20 mA current output signal and -10VDC / +10 VDC voltage output signals with a channel resolution of 16-bits. The IC697ALG230 supports the installation of expander modules with catalog numbers IC697ALG440 Voltage Expander Module and IC697ALG441Current expander modules. These expander modules enhance the capability of the base converter module, enabling the accommodation of up to Sixteen (16) channels of the same signal types. The IC697ALG230 base converter module has a built-in Analog-Digital Converter (ADC) circuit that converts the received digital data to analog equivalent with a resolution of 14-bits. Individual low pass filters are installed to each of the module’s channels as well as an opto-isolation circuit that provides module isolation to the PLC backplane. The IC697ALG230 supports differential wiring configuration. With differential wiring, the input signal is measured by the difference of Two (2) reference wires. This configuration has greater resistance against Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) and is most applicable in critical systems where accurate measurement is a consistent necessity. The base converter module comes with Forty (40) terminals. These terminals are mounted to a removable base which can be easily removed by a jackscrew driver. A door insert is provided to the module allowing users to write input short descriptions for easy identification.
