Engineered with a removable 40-pin terminal block and soft configuration (no jumpers/dip switches), the IC697ALG234 simplifies field wiring and system customization. Its error-correcting code (ECC) memory ensures data integrity during transient voltage fluctuations, while the -40°C to +85°C operating range and IP65-rated enclosure (optional) guarantee reliable performance in harsh industrial settings. By combining with expander modules like the IC697ALG440 (current) or IC697ALG441 (voltage), the system can scale to 120 analog inputs, making it a cost-effective solution for complex automation scenarios.

Flexible Signal Conditioning: Each channel supports independent scaling for voltage or current inputs, accommodating a wide range of sensors (e.g., pressure transducers, flow meters). The oversampling technology reduces noise by averaging multiple readings, achieving 16-bit effective resolution for critical measurements.
Rugged Reliability: Built with ECC memory and dual-redundant power paths, the module ensures data integrity even in unstable power environments. Its IP65-rated enclosure and extended temperature range make it suitable for outdoor installations, high-vibration machinery, or corrosive industrial settings.
Scalable Architecture: By integrating with IC697ALG440/441 expander modules, the IC697ALG234 enables systems to grow from 16 to 120 analog inputs, providing a future-proof solution for expanding automation needs. This scalability is particularly valuable in applications like smart factories or utility grids requiring incremental upgrades.
Easy Integration: The removable terminal block and software-based configuration eliminate the need for physical jumpers, streamlining commissioning. Compatibility with GE’s Proficy Machine Edition ensures seamless integration with existing PLC programming environments.
