GE IC670ALG230 Genius Field Control Analog Input Module
Product Overview
The GE IC670ALG230 is a high-performance 8-channel analog input module designed for GE’s Genius Field Control and PACSystems RX3i automation platforms. Engineered for industrial process control, it converts 4–20 mA or 0–20 mA current signals from sensors (e.g., pressure transmitters, flow meters) into digital data for real-time monitoring and control. As part of the IC670 series, the IC670ALG230 integrates seamlessly with GE’s Genius Bus architecture, enabling reliable data exchange with controllers like IC697CPU780 and other I/O modules such as IC660BBA100 (analog output) and IC660BBD020 (digital I/O).
With 12-bit resolution and 5.0 µA analog precision, the IC670ALG230 ensures accurate measurement in critical applications, including oil refining, power generation, and water treatment. Its 60-microsecond per-channel conversion time supports high-speed data acquisition, while the single-ended grouped input configuration simplifies wiring in distributed systems. The module operates on 18–30 V DC power and features 1500 V AC isolation between channels and ground, ensuring robustness in electrically noisy environments.
Compliant with UL 508 and IEC 61131-2 standards, the IC670ALG230 is certified for use in 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 facilitates scalability in large-scale automation setups.
