IC693ALG392 8-Channel Analog Current-Voltage Output Module with Serial Protocol Support

Product Description OF IC693ALG392

IC693ALG392 is an Analog Current/Voltage Output Module for the PACSystems RX3i and Series 90-30. The module has eight single-ended output channels with voltage outputs and/or current loop outputs based on installation by the user. Each channel can be generated the configuration software for the subsequent scopes (0 to +10 volts) as unipolar, (-10 to +10 volts) bipolar, 0 to 20 milliamps, or 4 to 20 milliamps. Each of the channels is able to translate 15 to 16 bits. This is reliant on the range that is preferred by the user. All eight channels are renewed every 8 milliseconds.

The IC693ALG392 module reports an Open Wire fault to the CPU for each channel when in current modes. The module can go to a known last state when system power is disturbed. If external power is continuously applied to the module, each output will keep its last value or reset to zero as configured. Installation in any I/O slot of an RX3i or Series 90-30 system is possible.

This module must gain its 24 VDC power from an outside source that is connected to the terminal block in a direct manner. Each output channel is single-ended and factory adjusted to .625 μA. This may change based on voltage. The user should note that in the presence of harsh RF interference, the exactness of the module may be reduced to +/-1% FS for current outputs and +/- 3% FS for voltage outputs. One should also note that this module must be fixed in a metal enclosure for correct functioning.

Technical Specifications OF IC693ALG392

GE Fanuc Automation manufactures the IC693ALG392 Analog Current/Voltage Output Module as part of the Series 90-30 product line. This module is an 8-channel analog output module that is intended to help provide current as well as voltage loop outputs from a maximum of 8 output channels that are single-ended. This module offers bipolar and unipolar voltage ranges along with current ranges of 0 to 20 milliamps or 4 to 20 milliamps. Every output channel has the ability to execute digital-analog conversion. The 8 output channels have an update rate of 8 milliseconds per channel. When in the current mode, the IC693ALG392 module comes with facilities that help in reporting open wire faults to the CPU. When there is a power interruption, this analog current/voltage output module can still return to the last operating state that it was in before the fault occurred. After applying the external power to the module after a power failure, each of the outputs is configured to the last value it was at or it can be reset to zero.

The GE Fanuc Series 90-30 IC693ALG392 Analog Current/Voltage Output Module supports installation in any of the RX3i PACSystems I/O chassis slots. It has an external power supply with a voltage rating of 24 Volts DC and this power supply can be connected to the module’s terminal block. This output module operates at a maximum load resistance to help it to reach and maintain the optimal levels of performance and durability. The IC693ALG392 Analog Current/Voltage Output Module features 2 LED indicators that show the status of the module in operation as well as the power supply status. The operators can configure the mode of operation of each output channel as a voltage output or a current output. Both modes of operation allow for simultaneous selection.
