This high-performance module features eight differential input channels that can be individually configured for either voltage or current signals. Integrated onboard load resistors support normal input current ranges up to 40 mA, while individual user scaling on each channel allows raw signals to be effortlessly translated into meaningful engineering units.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs the core component of a high-level analog subsystem, the IC697ALG230 communicates over the VME backplane and includes an expansion port capable of supporting up to seven daisy-chained expander modules (such as the IC697ALG440 or IC697ALG441). This scalable architecture permits a total subsystem capacity of up to 120 input points. Built-in optical isolation protects against transient and steady-state overvoltage conditions, ensuring reliable data acquisition in demanding industrial automation environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEquipped with 8 differential analog input channels individually configurable for voltage or current\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAccepts unipolar and bipolar voltage inputs up to plus or minus 10V full scale\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSupports 4 to 20 mA current loop signals via built-in 250-ohm precision shunt resistors\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eExpansion bus interface supports up to 7 expander modules for a maximum capacity of 120 input points\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIndividual user scaling and alarm comparator functions for each base channel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eJumper-free and DIP-switch-free configuration utilizing MS-DOS or Windows-based programming software\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFront-panel BOARD OK and PORT OK status LEDs for real-time diagnostic monitoring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eApplications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eProcess control and monitoring systems requiring high-density analog data acquisition\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHeavy manufacturing automation utilizing Series 90-70 PLCs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMulti-channel temperature, pressure, and flow rate measurement loops\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIndustrial test stands and data logging infrastructure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eParameter\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eManufacturer\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eGeneral Electric\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eProduct Brand\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eGE Fanuc \/ Series 90-70\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eExact Model \/ Catalog Number\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eIC697ALG230\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eCountry of Origin\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eUnited States\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eModule Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eAnalog Input Base Converter Module\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eNumber of Channels\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e8 differential inputs (base)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eInput Voltage Ranges\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003ePlus or minus 10V, 0 to 10V, plus or minus 5V, 0 to 5V (bipolar\/unipolar)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eInput Current Ranges\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e4 to 20 mA (utilizing internal 250-ohm precision shunt)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eResolution\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e14-bit basic converter with oversampling and averaging (1 part in 16,384)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eBackplane Power Requirements\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e+5 VDC at 0.8A (4 W) maximum\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eIsolation\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eOptically isolated from VME backplane\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eUpdate Rate\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e2.4 ms to 2.8 ms (maximum) for all 8 base channels\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eConnections \/ Interfaces\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRemovable 40-terminal field wiring connector block located on the front of the module\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTerminals 35 through 40 establish the analog expansion bus for daisy-chaining expander modules\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDedicated screw terminals for signal inputs, channel commons (COM), and chassis ground shields (GND)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSoftware-configured parameters via SNP port or Ethernet TCP\/IP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eInstallation Guidelines\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEnsure all system power is turned off before removing or installing terminal boards or modules in the rack.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSecure the detachable terminal board using the integrated front jackscrew;
