IC693ALG391G GE Analog Current Output Module

Description

IC693ALG391 is a 2-Channel Analog Current Output module for the Series 90-30 Programmable Logic Controller. It offers two output channels with each output having the ability to convert 12 bits of binary (digital) data into an analog output for use as needed by many applications. IC693ALG391 is able to give out outputs ranging from 0 to 20 mA. The converted signal has a resolution of 12 bits binary. However, the sign bit is not needed when converting the output. During each scanning process, the two channels are updated. The %AQ register has 13 essential bits that are changed to sign magnitude by the PLC and forwarded to the module. 

Feature

Dual Output Channels: Provides two output channels, each capable of converting 12-bit binary data to analog current (4-20 mA or 0-20 mA).

High Resolution: 12-bit binary resolution ensures precise current output, with 1000 additions equal to 0.5 mA.

Sign Magnitude Conversion: Uses the sign bit to handle negative data, outputting 4 mA for negative values.

Flexible Output Ranges: Offers configurable output ranges of 4-20 mA or 0-20 mA for different applications.

Application

Industrial Automation Control: Ideal for controlling and monitoring equipment in industrial automation systems, such as regulating actuators, valves, and pumps.

Process Control: Used in process industries to provide continuous control of variables like flow, pressure, and temperature by converting digital signals to analog output for controlling analog devices.

Remote Monitoring: Enables remote monitoring of current output in applications like water treatment, power plants, and chemical manufacturing.
