Description
GE Fanuc IC697ALG320
Product Overview
The GE Fanuc IC697ALG320 is a high-precision analog output module engineered for industrial automation systems, specifically optimized for seamless integration with GE Series 90-30/70 PLCs. As a 4-channel module supporting both voltage and current outputs, it delivers reliable control signals for closed-loop processes, making it ideal for applications requiring precise regulation of actuators, valves, and variable-speed drives. The IC697ALG320 features 16-bit resolution with 14-bit monotonicity, ensuring smooth and accurate signal transitions even in high-noise environments. Its flexible configuration allows each channel to independently switch between voltage (-10V to +10V) and current (0–22.5 mA, with a factory-default 4–20 mA range), accommodating diverse sensor and actuator types without hardware modifications.

The module’s removable 40-pin terminal block simplifies field wiring, while its software-based configuration (via GE’s Proficy Machine Edition or Logi.Master 90) eliminates the need for physical jumpers. Built with isolated outputs and error-correcting code (ECC) memory, the IC697ALG320 ensures data integrity and protection against transient voltage spikes. With an extended operating temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) and IP65-rated enclosure (optional), it excels in harsh industrial settings such as chemical plants, power generation facilities, and wastewater treatment systems.

Main Features and Advantages
Dual Signal Flexibility: Each channel can independently output voltage or current signals, eliminating the need for separate modules. For example, a single IC697ALG320 can simultaneously control a voltage-driven proportional valve and a current-controlled motor drive, streamlining system design.

Precision Control: With 16-bit resolution and 14-bit monotonicity, the module ensures minimal signal distortion, critical for applications like pharmaceutical batch processes where precise ingredient dosing is essential. The factory-calibrated accuracy (±2.5 mV for voltage, ±5 µA for current) guarantees consistent performance over time.
Rugged Reliability: The isolated output design protects against overvoltage events, while ECC memory safeguards configuration data during power fluctuations. Its -40°C to +85°C temperature range and IP65-rated enclosure make it suitable for extreme environments, such as offshore oil platforms or high-temperature boiler rooms.
Scalable Architecture: While the IC697ALG320 itself does not support expansion, it pairs seamlessly with GE Series 90-30/70 PLCs to create multi-module systems. For instance, combining multiple IC697ALG320s with IC697ALG234 analog input modules allows large-scale process control with up to 48 analog outputs and 120 analog inputs.
Easy Integration: The removable terminal block and software-based configuration reduce commissioning time. Users can program channel parameters (e.g., signal type, scaling) directly through GE’s Proficy Machine Edition, eliminating manual hardware adjustments.
