Description
GE IC697ALG441
Product Overview
The GE IC697ALG441 is a high-performance 16-channel analog input expander module designed for precision voltage measurement in industrial automation systems, particularly within GE’s Series 90-70 PLC platform. Engineered as the voltage-specific variant of the IC697ALG440 series, it supports configurable bipolar inputs from -10V to +10V DC, making it ideal for applications requiring fine-grained monitoring of voltage-driven sensors in sectors like power generation, process control, and semiconductor manufacturing. With 14-bit resolution (enhanced to 16-bit via oversampling and averaging techniques) and ±0.01% full-scale accuracy, the IC697ALG441 ensures reliable conversion of analog signals into digital data for real-time analysis by the PLC’s CPU.

Integrated with a VME backplane interface, the IC697ALG441 seamlessly pairs with the GE IC697ALG230 base converter module to form a scalable analog input subsystem, supporting up to 120 channels when daisy-chained. Its software-based configuration (via GE’s Proficy Machine Edition) eliminates physical jumpers, while the removable 40-pin terminal block simplifies field wiring. Built for harsh environments, the module operates across -40°C to +85°C and features transient overvoltage protection (up to 500V RMS), ensuring stability in high-vibration or corrosive settings such as offshore platforms and chemical plants. Unlike its redundant counterpart IC697ALG440RR, the IC697ALG441 prioritizes cost-effective single-channel operation without failover capabilities, making it suitable for non-critical but precision-sensitive applications.
