• Power distribution and monitoring.
• General process industry control loops.

Technical Specifications

Installation Guidelines

• Ensure the PLC rack is powered down before inserting or removing the module to prevent electrical damage.
• The module must be installed in a standard Series 90-30 or RX3i I/O slot.
• Connect an isolated 24 VDC power source to the module's terminal block to enable analog signal output.
• Use shielded twisted-pair cabling for analog signals to minimize EMI/RFI interference.
• Ensure proper grounding of the cable shields at the signal source or PLC end according to local electrical codes.
• Maintain adequate clearance around the module to ensure proper ventilation and cooling within the enclosure.

FAQ

What is the IC693ALG392?

The IC693ALG392 is an 8-channel analog current/voltage output module from the GE Fanuc Series 90-30 PLC family, designed to convert digital values into precise analog signals for field devices.

What are the power requirements?

The module draws 5 VDC from the PLC backplane and requires a user-supplied 24 VDC external power source (20-30 VDC range) connected to the terminal block for output signal generation.

Where can this module be installed?

It can be installed in any available I/O slot of a Series 90-30 or PACSystems RX3i rack system.

How do I test the module?

You can verify functionality by using a calibrated multimeter on the output terminals. By commanding specific counts (e.g., 0 to 32,000) from the PLC, you can measure the corresponding proportional voltage or current output.
