Description

The General Electric IC693ALG220 is a 4-channel analog input module designed for the GE Fanuc Series 90-30 Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) system. This module provides high-precision signal processing for voltage-based industrial applications, converting analog signals into a 12-bit digital format for use by the PLC processor. It is engineered to provide reliable data acquisition in demanding automation environments.

Features

• Four (4) independent analog input channels.
• Input signal range of -10 to +10 VDC.
• 12-bit converter resolution for high-precision data conversion.
• 1500 VAC isolation between field signals and the backplane.
• Typical analog resolution of 5 mV per LSB.
• Designed for seamless integration with the Series 90-30 rack-based PLC architecture.

Technical Specifications

Installation Guidelines

• Ensure the PLC rack power is disconnected before installing or removing the module.
• Slide the module into an available slot in the Series 90-30 baseplate and secure it using the integrated mounting screws.
• Use shielded twisted-pair cabling for analog signal inputs to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI).
• Ensure proper grounding of the cable shields at the signal source or the module terminal block as per site engineering standards.
• Keep signal wiring separated from high-voltage AC power lines to prevent signal noise and potential damage.
• Verify that the backplane power supply has sufficient capacity to support the module's 27 mA (+5V) and 98 mA (+24V) requirements.
