Description
Product Overview
The GE IC697ACC726 is a multi-functional module within GE Fanuc’s Series 90-30 PLC system, designed to enhance industrial automation through analog signal processing and motion control capabilities. It functions as both a high-precision analog input module and a 2-axis motion controller, enabling complex tasks such as real-time sensor data acquisition and synchronized motor control in manufacturing or energy systems. Engineered for harsh environments, it operates within -40°C to +85°C and supports protocols like Modbus TCP/IP and EtherNet/IP for seamless integration with HMIs and SCADA. With 8 isolated input channels and 16-bit resolution, the module ensures ±0.1% accuracy in critical applications like pressure monitoring or robotic assembly lines, while its modular design simplifies retrofitting into existing GE PLC racks .

Installation and Maintenance
Installation Preparation: Use shielded twisted-pair cables (0.75mm²) with grounding at one end to prevent ground loops; allocate ≥50mm ventilation space in DIN rails. Configure input ranges (e.g., 4–20mA vs. ±10V) via PME software prior to power-on .
Maintenance Recommendations: Calibrate analog channels annually with precision sources; inspect status LEDs monthly (flashing red indicates signal loss). Replace lithium backup battery (IC697ACC701) every 2 years to retain program memory .
Product Assurance
The GE IC697ACC726 includes a 1-year warranty covering defects. Units undergo 500-hour thermal cycling tests (-40°C to 85°C) for extreme-condition validation. GE provides 24/7 technical support and ≤72-hour replacement for validated failures .
