Description

GE IC697ALG230 Product Specification

Product Overview

The GE IC697ALG230 is a high-performance analog input/output (I/O) module designed for GE’s Series 90-70 Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) platform. Engineered to deliver precise signal conditioning and real-time data processing, the GE IC697ALG230 serves as a critical component in industrial automation systems, enabling seamless integration of analog sensors and actuators. This module supports up to 8 channels of analog input and 4 channels of analog output, making it ideal for complex process control applications in industries such as oil and gas, power generation, and manufacturing.

 

As part of the Series 90-70 family, the GE IC697ALG230 combines advanced signal processing with rugged industrial design. It features a 16-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) for high-resolution input measurements and a 12-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC) for precise output control, ensuring accuracy within ±0.1% of full scale. The module supports multiple input ranges (0–10 VDC, 4–20 mA, thermocouples, RTDs) and output ranges (0–10 VDC, 4–20 mA), offering flexibility to interface with diverse field devices. Its compact form factor (178 mm × 102 mm × 254 mm) and lightweight design (2.3 kg) facilitate easy integration into control panels, while the rugged metal enclosure ensures reliable operation in harsh environments (-40°C to +70°C).

 

In automation architectures, the GE IC697ALG230 acts as a bridge between field instruments and the PLC’s central processor, enabling real-time monitoring and control of process variables. Its compatibility with GE’s Genius Bus and optional Ethernet/IP interface supports high-speed data transfer, while built-in self-diagnostic functions (e.g., channel health monitoring, power supply validation) minimize downtime. By combining precision measurement with robust connectivity, the GE IC697ALG230 empowers industries to optimize process efficiency, reduce energy consumption, and maintain regulatory compliance.

Main Features and Advantages

Multi-Range Signal Handling: The GE IC697ALG230 supports diverse analog signal types, eliminating the need for external signal conditioners. Its software-configurable input ranges (thermocouples, RTDs, voltage/current) adapt to various sensors, reducing inventory complexity and installation costs.

 

High-Resolution Processing: With 16-bit input and 12-bit output resolution, the module ensures precise measurement and control, critical for applications requiring tight process tolerances (e.g., pharmaceutical batch processing, semiconductor manufacturing).

 

Redundant Communication Options: The standard Genius Bus interface and optional Ethernet/IP connectivity enable seamless integration with GE’s Series 90-70 PLCs and modern industrial networks, supporting remote monitoring and predictive maintenance.

 

Rugged Industrial Design: Constructed with a reinforced metal enclosure and conformal-coated PCBs, the GE IC697ALG230 resists dust, moisture, and electromagnetic interference (EMI), making it suitable for harsh environments like offshore platforms or chemical plants.

 

Advanced Diagnostics: Built-in self-test (BIST) functionality monitors channel performance, power supply stability, and thermal conditions, providing real-time alerts via front-panel LEDs and the PLC’s HMI. This proactive approach reduces mean time to repair (MTTR) and enhances system availability.

 

Hot-Swappable Design: The module supports hot swapping, allowing replacement without powering down the PLC rack, which is essential for maintaining continuous operation in mission-critical applications.

Application Areas

The GE IC697ALG230 is widely deployed in industries where precise analog signal conditioning and real-time process control are essential:

    • Monitors pressure, flow, and temperature in pipeline networks, adjusting valve positions via 4–20 mA outputs to optimize fluid transfer.
    • Integrates with refinery distillation units to control temperature profiles during crude oil processing, enhancing product quality and yield.
  2. Power Generation:
    • Measures steam pressure and turbine vibration in combined cycle power plants, enabling real-time adjustments to fuel supply for optimal efficiency.
    • Controls cooling water flow in nuclear reactors by processing RTD temperature inputs and activating pumps via analog outputs.
  3. Manufacturing:
    • Maintains precision temperature control in plastic extrusion lines using thermocouple inputs, reducing material waste and improving part consistency.
    • Regulates hydraulic pressure in automotive stamping presses via analog outputs, ensuring uniform part formation.
  4. Water/Wastewater Treatment:
    • Monitors pH levels in treatment tanks using 0–10 VDC inputs, adjusting chemical dosing pumps via analog outputs to maintain regulatory compliance.
    • Controls water flow in irrigation systems by processing flow meter signals and activating solenoid valves.
