GE IC670ALG330 Genius Field Control Analog Current Source Output Module
Product Overview
The GE IC670ALG330 is a high-performance 8-channel analog current source output module designed for GE’s Genius Field Control and PACSystems RX3i automation platforms. Engineered for precise industrial process control, it converts digital signals from controllers into 0–20 mA analog current outputs, enabling seamless regulation of valves, actuators, and other analog devices. As part of the IC670 series, the IC670ALG330 integrates with GE’s Genius Bus architecture, working alongside modules like IC670GBI002 (Bus Interface Unit) and IC670CHS002 (I/O terminal block) to form scalable distributed control systems.
With 16-bit resolution and 1.5 ms per-channel update time, the IC670ALG330 ensures fast, accurate signal transmission in dynamic environments. Its user-configurable scaling parameters allow calibration for specific applications, while open-wire detection and over/under-range alarms provide real-time diagnostics. The module operates on 18–30 V DC power and features 1500 V AC isolation between channels and ground, ensuring robustness in electrically noisy industrial settings.
Compliant with UL 508 and IEC 61131-2 standards, the IC670ALG330 is certified for safety-critical industries. Its IP65-rated housing resists dust, water splashes, and oil, making it suitable for harsh factory floors or outdoor installations. The module’s hot-swap capability allows maintenance without system downtime, while its modular design supports easy expansion in large-scale automation setups.

Main Features and Advantages
High Precision and Speed
The IC670ALG330 delivers 16-bit resolution and 1.5 ms update time, ensuring smooth control of critical processes like chemical reactor valve positioning or steam turbine speed regulation. Its 0–20 mA output range supports a wide array of industrial sensors and actuators, while user-configurable scaling allows customization for specific applications.
Rugged Industrial Design
With an IP65-rated housing, the module withstands harsh conditions, including dust, water splashes, and oil mist, making it ideal for oil refineries, steel mills, and wastewater treatment plants. Its -20°C to 70°C operating range and 1500 V AC isolation ensure stable performance in extreme temperatures and electrically noisy environments.
Reliable Diagnostics and Fault Handling
The module includes open-wire detection and over/under-range alarms, alerting operators to wiring faults or signal anomalies. In the event of power loss or communication failure, it maintains the last valid output state (with reduced 14-bit resolution), preventing unintended process disruptions. A single LED indicator simplifies status monitoring, with steady illumination indicating normal operation and flashing signaling faults.
Flexible System Integration
As part of GE’s Genius Field Control ecosystem, the IC670ALG330 interfaces seamlessly with IC670GBI002 Bus Interface Units for Genius Bus communication. It pairs with controllers like IC697CPU780 and other I/O modules (e.g., IC670ALG320 for voltage outputs) to create scalable, distributed control systems. Its hot-swap capability allows field replacement without system shutdowns, minimizing downtime during maintenance.
Cost-Effective Performance
The module’s modular design and reduced wiring requirements lower installation costs. Its low power consumption (85 mA typical) and long lifespan reduce operational expenses, making it suitable for cost-sensitive applications.
Application Fields
The GE IC670ALG330 excels in industries requiring precise analog control:
- Oil and Gas: Regulates flow control valves in wellheads and refineries, ensuring safe and efficient production. The module’s IP65 rating protects against corrosive environments.
- Power Generation: Adjusts steam turbine actuator positions based on load demands, optimizing energy output. Its fast update time supports real-time load balancing in power plants.
- Water Treatment: Controls pump speeds and chemical dosing systems in wastewater treatment facilities, maintaining consistent process parameters. The hot-swap capability ensures continuous operation during module replacement.
- Manufacturing: Drives motor speed controllers in automotive assembly lines and plastic extrusion machines, ensuring uniform product quality. The 16-bit resolution enables fine-tuned adjustments for high-precision applications.
