The General Electric IC694ALG392 is a high-performance analog output module designed for use within the PACSystems RX3i control platform. This module provides four isolated output channels, capable of delivering both voltage and current signals to meet diverse industrial control requirements, including process automation and motion control applications.

Features

• Supports multiple output ranges: 4 to 20 mA, 0 to 20 mA, 0 to 10 V, and -10 to +10 V.
• High resolution across all ranges, ensuring precise control signal delivery.
• Factory calibrated for immediate deployment and high accuracy.
• Integrated diagnostics for monitoring module health and output status.
• Designed for seamless integration into the RX3i backplane.

Applications

This module is engineered for industrial environments requiring reliable analog signal output, such as controlling variable frequency drives (VFDs), proportional valves, actuators, and other process instrumentation requiring precise voltage or current references.

Technical Specifications

Installation Guidelines

• Ensure the PLC backplane power is disconnected before installing or removing the module.
• Mount the module in a clean, dry environment with adequate ventilation to maintain operating temperature limits.
• Use shielded twisted-pair cabling for all analog signals to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI).
• Ensure proper grounding of the cable shields at the control cabinet entry point or as specified by the system design.
• Verify that the external 24 VDC power supply meets the ripple requirements (maximum 10%) to prevent signal noise.

FAQ

What is the resolution of the IC694ALG392 module?
The resolution depends on the selected range. For 4-20 mA, it is 0.5 uA; for 0-20 mA, it is 0.625 uA; and for both voltage ranges, it is 0.3125 mV per LSB.

Does this module require an external power supply?
Yes, the module requires an external 20-30 VDC supply in addition to the power provided by the RX3i backplane.
