Product Description of IC693ALG390

The GE Fanuc IC693ALG390 is a 2-Channel Analog Voltage Output module. This component is designed for the Series 90-30 Programmable Logic Controller. Each of the two output channels is capable of converting 13 bits of binary (digital) data. This data is converted to analog output, which can then be used by applications as needed. The output range of the Analog Voltage Output module runs from –10 to +10 volts. The isolated +24 VDC power supply from the PLC unit is the primary power source for this output module. The user can provide external power by using the two terminals on the module. By providing a standard supply the outputs can maintain their value, even if the module’s internal supply is lost. Note that ‘Hold Last State’ needs to be selected in this instance. If the user wants to reduce the load on the PLC’s power supply, they must supply voltage to the module.

When the output module’s power supply is in operation, the LED at the top of the unit’s faceplate will be on. Users should take care with the field connections, ensuring to use a quality grade of instrumentation cable, which is both twisted and shielded. This will help to keep noise and capacitive loading to a minimum. This module also utilizes optical isolation. This is used to isolate external noise between the field wiring and the module’s backplane. Like many other components in the Series 90-30 PLC family, this output module is compatible with any I/O slot in baseplates with 5 or 10 slots.
