GE IC693ALG222E Analog Voltage Input Module
Product Overview
The GE IC693ALG222E is a high-precision 16-channel analog voltage input module designed for GE Fanuc’s Series 90-30 PLC platform, now under Emerson Automation Solutions. As part of the IC693 Series, this module enables seamless integration of analog signals from sensors, transducers, and process instruments into industrial control systems, ensuring accurate data acquisition for applications like process monitoring, quality control, and machinery automation. With 16 single-ended or 8 differential input channels, the IC693ALG222E supports both 0–10 V DC (unipolar) and –10–+10 V DC (bipolar) signals, making it versatile for diverse industrial environments16.
Featuring a 12-bit A/D converter, the IC693ALG222E delivers a resolution of 2.5 mV (unipolar) and 5 mV (bipolar), with an absolute accuracy of ±0.25% of full scale at 25°C and ±0.5% over the operating temperature range9. Its 6 ms update rate for single-ended channels and 3 ms for differential channels ensures real-time responsiveness in fast-paced applications like packaging machinery or motor control systems. The module incorporates MOV (Metal Oxide Varistor) surge protection on high-power terminals, safeguarding against voltage spikes caused by inductive loads or transient electrical noise.
In automation systems, the IC693ALG222E integrates with Series 90-30 CPUs (e.g., IC693CPU340, IC693CPU364) and Genius Bus Interface Units (BIUs) to provide reliable analog data for PLC logic processing. Its compact DIN rail-mount design (125 mm × 48 mm × 45 mm) and lightweight construction (0.35 kg) simplify installation in crowded control panels, while a flame-retardant ABS housing ensures durability in temperatures ranging from 0°C to 60°C and 95% non-condensing humidity5. Though discontinued by GE, the IC693ALG222E remains critical for legacy systems, offering cost-effective scalability where upgrading to newer platforms is impractical. By combining high-resolution signal conditioning, rugged isolation, and deep integration with Series 90-30 components, this module enhances system precision and reduces downtime in mission-critical operations.

Main Features and Advantages
High-resolution signal acquisition:
The IC693ALG222E’s 12-bit A/D conversion and 2.5 mV/5 mV resolution ensure precise measurement of analog signals, critical for applications like chemical process control or semiconductor manufacturing where minor deviations can impact product quality. Its ±0.25% accuracy at 25°C guarantees reliable data even in stable environments, while the ±0.5% accuracy over the full temperature range maintains performance in fluctuating conditions.

Dual-voltage flexibility:
With support for both unipolar (0–10 V) and bipolar (–10–+10 V) inputs, the module eliminates the need for external signal converters, streamlining integration with mixed-voltage systems. For example, it can simultaneously interface with low-voltage pressure sensors (0–10 V) and high-voltage strain gauges (–10–+10 V) in automotive testing rigs, reducing wiring complexity and inventory costs.

Rugged industrial design:
The flame-retardant ABS housing and MOV surge protection shield the module from electrical transients and environmental hazards, making it suitable for harsh settings like offshore platforms or food processing plants. Its 1,500 V RMS isolation between field and logic sides mitigates electromagnetic interference (EMI) from nearby motors or drives, ensuring stable operation in high-noise environments.

Maintenance suggestions:
Perform quarterly visual inspections to check for loose connections or physical damage, retightening terminals to 5 lb-in torque as needed. Test surge protection components annually using a multimeter to ensure MOVs are functional. Replace the module every 7–10 years (or sooner if physical damage is detected) to maintain signal integrity. Store spare IC693ALG222E modules in anti-static packaging at 10–30°C with <60% humidity, testing functionality biannually.
