GE IC693ALG391B

  • Power Supply: It requires 24V DC from an isolated 24V DC on the backplane or a user-supplied source, and 5V DC from the backplane.
  • Isolation: There is 1,500V isolation between the field and logic side.
  • Output Current Range: The module can provide outputs in the range of 0 to 20 mA.
  • Resolution: The resolution of the converted signal is 12 bits binary (1 part in 4,096).
  • Update Rate: Both channels are updated on every scan, which is about 5 milliseconds.
  • Data Format: User data in the %AQ registers is in a 16-bit 2’s complement format. The 13 most significant bits from the %AQ register are converted to sign magnitude by the PLC and sent to the module.

Functional Characteristics

  • Dual-channel Output: It has two output channels, each of which can independently convert 12 bits of binary digital data into an analog output, meeting the needs of different application scenarios that require multiple analog current outputs.
  • Factory Calibrated: The module is factory calibrated to 4 µA per count, ensuring high accuracy and reliability of the output signal.
  • Flexible Power Supply Options: It can be powered by the isolated 24V DC on the backplane or a user-supplied 24V DC source, providing flexibility in power supply configuration.
  • Isolation Protection: The 1,500V isolation between the field and logic side can effectively prevent electrical interference and protect the safety of the system.

Application Scenarios

  • Industrial Process Control: It is widely used in industrial production processes such as chemical, petroleum, and power industries to control the flow, pressure, temperature, and other parameters of various media by outputting analog current signals.
  • Machine Control: In the field of mechanical manufacturing, it can be used to control the speed, position, and force of machine tools and other equipment to ensure the accuracy and stability of machining.
  • Testing and Measurement: It can be applied in testing and measurement systems to provide accurate analog current signals for calibrating and testing various instruments and sensors.
