Product Overview
The GE Fanuc IC697ALG230F is a high-resolution analog interface module for the Series 90-70 PLC system. It processes up to 8 differential analog inputs, converting signals from flow, pressure, and temperature transmitters into precise digital data for the CPU. Supporting critical 4-20 mA and ±10 V signals, this module is integral to industrial automation systems in sectors like chemical plants and power stations. We supply this unit as 100% Brand New original equipment to ensure long-term stability in your control architectures.

Engineering Advantages
-
Superior Data Precision: Utilizes oversampling and averaging for 16-bit effective resolution, improving PID control loop accuracy in industrial applications.
-
Flexible Input Scalability: Expands to 16 channels by adding the IC697ALG390 expander, making it easier to scale systems without additional CPU configurations.
-
Seamless VME Retrofitting: Fits directly into VME-based racks, simplifying upgrades and providing high-resolution inputs for legacy systems.
-
Robust Signal Isolation: Optical isolation protects the PLC backplane from electrical noise, ensuring stable operation in harsh industrial environments.
FAQs
Can the IC697ALG230F handle both voltage and current inputs simultaneously?
Yes, each channel can be configured independently to accept different signal types, such as 4-20 mA on one group and ±10 V on another.
Is this a brand new or refurbished module?
This module is 100% Brand New and arrives in original factory packaging, meeting all GE Fanuc manufacturing standards.
What is the primary benefit of differential inputs over single-ended inputs?
Differential inputs reject common-mode noise, maintaining signal integrity even in electrically "dirty" environments like those near high-voltage power lines.
Does this module require an external power supply for the inputs?
The module draws logic power from the backplane, but field transmitters (e.g., 4-20 mA loops) typically require their own external 24 VDC power source.
