GE IC670ALG240 Product Specification
Product Overview
The GE IC670ALG240 is a high-performance programmable logic controller (PLC) designed for GE’s RX3i platform, engineered to provide robust automation control for industrial applications. As the central processing unit (CPU) of the RX3i system, this module executes control algorithms, manages I/O communication, and interfaces with human-machine interfaces (HMIs) and supervisory control systems.
Integrated into the RX3i architecture, the GE IC670ALG240 features a 32-bit RISC processor running at 200 MHz, delivering fast scan times (0.5 ms/k) for complex control tasks. It supports up to 16,384 I/O points and offers 2 MB of user memory for storing ladder logic, function block diagrams, and structured text programs. The module includes dual redundant communication ports (Genius and Ethernet/IP), enabling seamless integration with distributed I/O racks (e.g., GE IC660BBS102) and enterprise networks.
The GE IC670ALG240’s rugged design (22.4 cm × 14.0 cm × 10.2 cm) and lightweight structure (1.8 kg) ensure reliable operation in harsh environments, with resistance to vibration (10–2000 Hz, 10 G rms), shock (50 G peak), and temperature extremes (-20°C to +60°C). Front-panel LEDs provide real-time status monitoring for power, communication, and system health, while hot-swappable functionality minimizes downtime during maintenance. Compatible with GE’s Proficy Machine Edition software, it supports advanced features like PID control, motion control, and data logging, making it ideal for applications requiring high-speed, precision automation—such as automotive manufacturing, packaging lines, and power generation.

Installation and Maintenance
Pre-installation preparations: Before installing GE IC670ALG240, verify the IC670CHS020 chassis is properly grounded and the power supply (GE IC670PWR100) is set to 24 VDC. Use an ESD wrist strap during handling to prevent damage to sensitive components. Insert the module into the designated CPU slot in the chassis, ensuring secure seating in the backplane, and fasten with the provided screws. Connect communication cables to the Genius and Ethernet/IP ports, and power cables to the 24 VDC supply.
Maintenance suggestions: Perform monthly visual inspections of GE IC670ALG240 front-panel LEDs to confirm normal operation (green for power, communication, and CPU status). Clean dust from ventilation slots quarterly with compressed air to maintain cooling efficiency. Annually, use Proficy Machine Edition software to backup the program memory and check for firmware updates. Test redundancy by switching between communication paths and verifying seamless operation. Replace the module if scan times exceed specifications or if communication errors persist after troubleshooting.
