GE IC670ALG310 Analog Input Module
Product Overview
The GE IC670ALG310 is a high-precision Analog Input Module designed for industrial automation systems, serving as a key component of GE’s 90-70 Series PLC platform. Engineered to convert continuous analog signals from field instruments (e.g., temperature transmitters, pressure transducers) into digital data for processing by the PLC, this module ensures accurate and reliable data acquisition in harsh industrial environments. As part of the IC670 Series, the IC670ALG310 offers seamless integration with other 90-70 Series components, such as CPU modules and digital I/O modules, enabling robust control solutions for power generation, oil & gas, and manufacturing industries.
Featuring a rugged industrial design, the GE IC670ALG310 supports 8 isolated analog input channels, each configurable to accept multiple signal types including 4–20 mA current loops, 0–10 V DC voltage inputs, and resistance temperature detector (RTD) signals. Its advanced signal conditioning circuitry includes anti-aliasing filters and galvanic isolation (250 V RMS), minimizing noise interference and ensuring measurement accuracy within ±0.1% of full scale. The module’s LED indicators provide real-time status feedback for each channel, simplifying troubleshooting and maintenance. With a wide operating temperature range (-40°C to +70°C) and compliance with industry standards like IEC 61131-2, the IC670ALG310 is ideal for applications requiring continuous operation in challenging environments, such as offshore platforms, refineries, and heavy manufacturing facilities.
In automation ecosystems, the IC670ALG310 acts as the interface between analog field devices and the PLC, translating real-world process variables into digital commands for control logic. Its hot-swappable design allows for module replacement without powering down the system, minimizing downtime during maintenance. By combining high-density input channels with advanced diagnostic capabilities, this module enhances system efficiency and reduces overall cost of ownership, making it a cornerstone of reliable industrial control strategies.
