GE IC693ALG223 Series 90-30 16-Channel Analog Current Input Module
Product Overview
The GE IC693ALG223 is a high-density 16-channel analog current input module designed for GE Fanuc’s Series 90-30 PLC system and PACSystems RX3i platforms, providing precise signal conversion for industrial automation applications. With support for 0-20mA, 4-20mA, and 4-20mA Enhanced input ranges, the IC693ALG223 enables seamless integration with sensors and transmitters in process control, manufacturing, and energy sectors. Its 12-bit resolution (4µA per count for 4-20mA signals) ensures accurate monitoring of critical variables like flow, pressure, and level, while 1,500V AC isolation safeguards against electrical noise and ground loops .
As part of the Series 90-30 ecosystem, the IC693ALG223 interfaces with controllers such as IC693CPU374 and power supplies like IC693PWR330, forming a robust automation network. Its 6ms update rate and factory-calibrated linearity (<1 LSB deviation) ensure rapid and reliable data acquisition, even in dynamic environments like chemical plants or power generation facilities . The module’s enhanced 4-20mA range includes open-wire fault detection, automatically flagging current drops below 4mA to prevent system downtime in applications like wastewater treatment or pharmaceutical production .
The IC693ALG223 operates on 24V DC external power (20–30V DC range) and draws 120mA from the +5V bus and 65mA from the +24V bus, ensuring stable performance in demanding settings . Its compact form factor (110mm × 64mm × 30mm) and 0.35kg weight facilitate easy installation in space-constrained control cabinets, while IP20-rated housing protects against dust and accidental contact . Front-panel LED indicators provide real-time feedback on power status, channel activity, and fault conditions, simplifying troubleshooting in complex systems.

Main Features and Advantages
High-Density Signal Acquisition
The IC693ALG223’s 16-channel design reduces rack space and cabling complexity, making it ideal for large-scale systems like automotive assembly lines or water treatment plants. Each channel supports independent configuration for 0–20mA, 4–20mA, or 4–20mA Enhanced ranges, eliminating the need for external signal conditioning .
Enhanced Fault Detection
The 4–20mA Enhanced range enables open-wire fault detection by reporting negative digital values when input current drops below 4mA. This feature is critical in applications like oil refineries, where sensor failures could lead to safety incidents or production losses .
Rugged Industrial Design
With 1,500V AC isolation and IP20 protection, the module withstands electromagnetic interference (EMI) from motors and welders, ensuring reliable operation in noisy environments. Its wide temperature range (-20°C to +70°C during storage) and flame-retardant housing further enhance durability in extreme conditions .
Easy Integration and Maintenance
The IC693ALG223 mounts directly onto DIN rails in Series 90-30 or RX3i racks, requiring minimal setup time. Its hot-swap capability allows replacement without powering down the system, reducing downtime during maintenance—a key advantage in 24/7 operations like food processing plants .
Compatibility Across GE Platforms
Designed for Series 90-30 and PACSystems RX3i, the IC693ALG223 works seamlessly with controllers like IC693CPU374 and IC697CPU780, as well as power supplies such as IC693PWR330. RX3i racks support firmware upgrades, ensuring compatibility with future automation advancements .
