GE Fanuc IC693ALG392

The GE Fanuc IC693ALG392 is a high-performance Analog Current and Voltage Output Module designed for integration within the PACSystems RX3i and Series 90-30 platforms. This module features eight single-ended output channels, allowing users to configure them for either voltage outputs (0 to +10 volts unipolar or -10 to +10 volts bipolar) or current loop outputs (0 to 20 milliamps or 4 to 20 milliamps), depending on specific application requirements. Each channel is capable of delivering 15 to 16 bits of resolution, contingent on the designated output range. The module updates all channels every 8 milliseconds, ensuring timely output refresh rates. In terms of reliability, the IC693ALG392 monitors for Open Wire faults in current modes, providing immediate feedback to the CPU. In the event of power disturbances, the module can return to a user-defined last state or reset to zero with continuous external power. Installation is versatile, compatible with any I/O slot within an RX3i or Series 90-30 system. It requires a 24 VDC power supply connected via a terminal block, while the internal 5 V supply is drawn from the PLC backplane. The output channels are factory-adjusted to 0.625 μA, although this value may fluctuate based on output voltage. Users should bear in mind that the performance might be affected by harsh RF interference, resulting in accuracy specifications of +/- 1% FS for current outputs and +/- 3% FS for voltage outputs. To ensure optimal functionality, the module should be housed within a metal enclosure.

For detailed specifications, the IC693ALG392 offers eight output channels, operates with voltage ranges from 0 to +10V (unipolar) or -10 to +10V (bipolar), and current ranges of 4 to 20 mA or 0 to 20 mA. The module's external supply voltage requirement is 20-30V DC, with an internal power consumption of 110 mA from the +5 V bus or 315 mA from a user-supplied +24 V source.
