GE IC693ALG223C Analog Current Input Module

FAQ

Q1: What is the IC693ALG223C used for?
The IC693ALG223C is a 16-channel analog current input module for the GE Fanuc Series 90-30 PLC. It receives current signals from transmitters and sensors, converts them into digital values, and makes them available to the PLC for monitoring and control.

Q2: What input ranges does the IC693ALG223C support?
Each input channel can be configured independently for 0–20 mA, 4–20 mA, or 4–20 mA Enhanced operation, allowing compatibility with a wide variety of industrial transmitters.

Q3: How many input channels are available?
The module provides 16 single-ended analog current input channels. Each channel can be configured separately, making the module suitable for applications requiring multiple process measurements.

Q4: Does the IC693ALG223C require an external power supply?
Yes. The module requires an external 20–30 VDC supply (24 VDC nominal) for current loop operation. It also draws 120 mA from the PLC +5 VDC backplane and approximately 65 mA from the external 24 VDC supply, excluding loop current.

Q5: What level of measurement accuracy does the IC693ALG223C provide?
The module offers ±0.25% of full scale accuracy at 25°C and ±0.5% of full scale across its specified operating temperature range, making it suitable for precise industrial process measurements.

Q6: Does the IC693ALG223C support diagnostics?
Yes. The module supports configurable high and low alarms, module status reporting, power supply monitoring, and open-wire detection when operating in the 4–20 mA Enhanced mode.

Q7: What does the “C” revision indicate?
The “C” suffix identifies the hardware revision of the IC693ALG223 module. Revision C maintains the same electrical specifications and compatibility as earlier revisions while incorporating manufacturing updates and additional agency approvals.

Q8: What should be checked before replacing an IC693ALG223C module?
Before replacing the module, verify the Series 90-30 baseplate compatibility, channel configuration, input current ranges, external 24 VDC supply, field wiring, PLC configuration, and scaling parameters. Confirming these settings helps ensure accurate measurements and reliable operation after installation.
