The IC693ALG220 is an analog input module. It part of GE Fanuc’s Series 90-30 Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) platforms that accepts input voltage signal range of -10 VDC to 10VDC. This module can be used in a wide variety of applications in different industries as the signal range it serves is widely used in the industry. This module can be used in enabling measurement, Proportional + Integral + Derivative (PID) features of the host PLC and visualization systems such as Human Machine Interface (HMI) and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA).

The IC693ALG220 is designed to convert analog signal to a digital value. It comes with a built-in Analog to Digital Converter for each of the module’s Four (4) input channels, with conversion resolution of 12 bits. Additionally, each channel exhibits an update rate of 4 msec with input filter response of 17 Hz.

The module has typical absolute accuracy of ±10 mV/40 µA (typical) over operating temperature while the maximum is ±30 mV/160 µA (maximum) over operating temperature. The module is factory calibrated and does not require individual calibration. It has isolation rating pf 1500 VAC between field and logic side with cross channel rejection of > 80 db.

The IC693ALG220 can be inserted to any slot of a Serie 90-30 baseplate specifically. There is also no limit to the number of installations of the module. Install as many modules as needed by the system. Limitation to the number of module instances is within the maximum I/O capacity of the Series 90-30 CPU installed.

The IC693ALG220 module is an analog input module by GE Fanuc, which is part of GE Series 90-30. The module comes with 4 input channels which can easily convert an analog signal to a digital signal, according to the user application requirements. Additionally, the GE Fanuc IC693ALG220 input module allows the users to convert inputs that range from -10 to +10 Volts. The conversion speed for every channel is around 1 millisecond and update rate of 4 milliseconds for any channel. The converted signal resolution from the IC693ALG220 CAV module is 12 bits binary.

The GE Fanuc IC693ALG220 CAV input module comes equipped with a limited current input mode, as well as a jumper on each channel’s user terminal connector. Users can use the jumper to connect an internal 250 ohm shunt resistor to the circuit. This shunt resister allows for an input range of -40 to +40 milliamps. However, it is essential for the users to monitor the input current constantly to prevent the input resistor from self-heating, because this could affect the current accuracy negatively. The main power supply of the GE Fanuc IC693ALG220 CAV input module is an isolated +24 Volts DC power supply, which is supplied through a PLC power supply. The voltage is sent through a regulator/inverter to produce the required voltage for the IC693ALG220 module to operate. The IC693ALG220 input module comes with an LED which shows the users its operation status.
