With 16-bit resolution and factory-calibrated accuracy (±0.01% of full scale for voltage inputs), the IC697ALG440 ensures reliable conversion of analog signals into digital data for real-time analysis by the PLC’s CPU. Its software-based configuration (compatible with GE’s Proficy Machine Edition) eliminates physical jumpers, while the removable 40-pin terminal block simplifies field wiring. The module’s VME backplane interface seamlessly integrates with GE Series 90-70/30 systems, supporting up to 120 total inputs when paired with base converter modules like the GE IC697ALG230. Designed to operate in harsh environments, the IC697ALG440 withstands temperatures ranging from -40°C to +85°C and features transient overvoltage protection, making it ideal for offshore platforms, chemical plants, and power generation facilities.
