GE FANUC IC693ALG223 PACSystems Series 90-30 RX3i Analog Current Input Module

Product Description

IC693ALG223 is a PACSystems Series 90-30 RX3i Analog Current Input Module that offers 16 channels. The module’s 16 separate and single ended channels can be configured for any of the following three ranges: 4 to 20 mA, 0 to 20 mA, or 4 to 20 mA Enhanced. Both high and low alarms are obtainable on each range. In the enhanced range, the IC693ALG223 module can be set with a low alarm limit to detect input current with open wire fault detection in the 4 to 20 mA applications; high alarm alerts can also be set by the user. Additionally, this module reports status, including power supply standing to the CPU. IC693ALG223 can be used in any I/O slot that offers a serial connector in the RX3i or Series 90-30 system.

Specific to the IC693ALG223 module, 120 mA from a 5 VCD bus on the controller backplane is consumed. This also needs a 65 mA plus current loop from a +24 VDC supply supplied by the user. An update rate of 6 ms is standard with isolation of 250 VAC continuous or 1500 VAC for one minute. When scanning active channels, the number of channels to be scanned will be completed in serial order. Analog values are scaled over the entire range of the converter with factory calibration adjusting the analog value per bit. RX3i racks support upgrades to the firmware associated with this module, but this does not include 90-30 racks. The IC693ALG223 is also equipped with LED status lights emitting ON, OFF, and FAIL to assist the user in operation and troubleshooting.

The IC693ALG223 Module is a 16-channel analog current input module manufactured by GE Fanuc as part of the Series 90-30 product line. This module comes with 16 single-ended input channels that are designed to convert between different supported current ranges or to convert the analog signals to digital PLC signals. The module has an isolation voltage of 1500 Volts between its field side and logic side, and this helps to eliminate the ground loops within the communication lines. The GE Fanuc IC693ALG223 Analog Current Input Module provides 3 input current ranges which are 4 to 20 milliamps, 0 to 20 milliamps and 4 to 20 milliamps. This unit has been tested and engineered to operate with the GE Series 90-30 PLCs, and it operates on a nominal current of 65 milliamps at 24 Volts DC of voltage from the external power supply that provides the system with loop currents.

The GE Fanuc IC693ALG223 16-Channel Analog Input Module comes with an input filter response frequency of 200 Hertz and an input impedance of 250 Ohms. The total number of analog current inputs that can be installed in the system is 4 along with the 323, 313, and 311 CPUs, and 8 analog current inputs can be installed with the 331 CPU, and 12 inputs can be installed with the 341and 340 CPUs. This unit comes with a high level of resolution and accuracy that helps it to deal with analog signals that are highly sensitive. The module also receives analog inputs from a wide range of sensors like the level sensors, temperature sensors, and flow sensors. For the IC693ALG223 Analog Input Module to achieve the needed accuracy level, the input channels come with resolution of 4 microamps at 4 to 20 milliamps of current, and a resolution of 5 microamps at 0 to 20 milliamps.
