Product Overview

The IC697ALG320E is a high-performance analog current output module for the GE Fanuc Series 90-70 PLC system. It converts CPU digital %AQ data into four independent 0–20 mA or 4–20 mA current loop signals for precise control of field devices such as proportional valves, actuators, and long-distance instrumentation systems.

Designed for industrial environments, it ensures stable and accurate signal transmission over extended cable runs.

Technical Specifications

Engineering Advantages

Optimized for Long-Distance Signaling
Current loop technology (4–20 mA) eliminates voltage drop issues, ensuring reliable control over long cable distances without signal degradation.

Rapid Response Loop Control
With a 5 ms update rate, the module supports fast dynamic processes such as turbine control and high-speed pressure regulation.

Robust Circuit Isolation
Field-side and backplane isolation protects the CPU from transients and ground potential differences, improving system stability and uptime.

High-Resolution Process Control
12-bit resolution provides fine control across the full output range, enabling precise modulation of process variables such as flow and temperature.

FAQs

Is this module brand new?
Yes, the IC697ALG320E is supplied as a 100% brand new original unit in factory-sealed condition.

Does it require external power?
Yes, it requires an external 24–30 VDC loop power supply in addition to backplane logic power.

How do I switch between 0–20 mA and 4–20 mA?
This is configured via PLC programming software (Logicmaster 90 or Proficy Machine Edition), with no hardware jumpers required.

What happens if the CPU stops?
The module can hold the last output value or revert to a configured fallback state (such as 0 mA or 4 mA), depending on system configuration.
