GE Fanuc IC670ALG240 Analog Input Module

IC670ALG240 Field Control 16-Point Input

Product Introduction

The IC670ALG240 analog input module belongs to the GE Fanuc Field Control series. This unit provides sixteen single-ended input channels in one group. Each channel accepts 0-20 mA or 4-20 mA current signals. Furthermore, the module delivers 16-bit digital resolution for precise measurement. It supports ANSI Type 2 two-wire and Type 3 three-wire transmitter wiring. The IC670ALG240 interfaces with pressure, level, flow, temperature, and turbidity transmitters. Additionally, it works with panel meters, data loggers, signal splitters, and variable frequency drives.

Technical Specifications

The IC670ALG240 module uses a 24 VDC nominal supply voltage. Its current loop power supply ranges from 20-28 VDC with 10% maximum ripple. The unit draws up to 251 mA from the BIU power supply. Moreover, the input current span reaches 0-25 milliamps with a 0.0-20.48 mA signal range. Common mode rejection from channel to ground measures 86 dB. The ADC conversion resolution is 16 bits across all channels. Meanwhile, the module operates at 50 or 60 Hertz frequencies for data acquisition. Non-linearity and temperature coefficients remain tightly controlled at +/– 0.002% typical per degree Celsius.

Diagnostics and Filtering Features

The IC670ALG240 includes advanced internal diagnostics for reliable operation. These cover module calibration errors, calibration data range issues, and write failures. Furthermore, the module reports A/D conversion status and factory calibration availability. Individual channel high and low alarms detect underrange and overrange conditions. The hardware filter uses an active RC 2nd order design for noise reduction. Besides, advanced filtering options include input filter, line filter, and averaging filter settings. Operators can configure alarms and set channels active or inactive through Channel Active mode.

Mechanical and Environmental Parameters

The IC670ALG240 operates between 0 and 55 degrees Celsius. This range suits most industrial control environments. The module installs alongside a Bus Interface Unit and expansion rack. It supports both word and bit data types for flexible integration. Calibration data stores safely in flash memory for quick retrieval. Proper grounding protects signals from electrical noise and interference. The compact enclosure fits standard Field Control mounting bases.

Installation Guide

First, mount the IC670ALG240 module onto a grounded DIN rail base. Next, connect the 24 VDC power supply to the unit and the BIU. Then, wire the sixteen input channels using single-ended configuration. After that, select ANSI Type 2 or Type 3 transmitter wiring as needed. Subsequently, verify that loop-powered transmitters share a common power supply. Finally, configure alarms and filters through the host system. For instance, use Channel Active mode to disable unused inputs and reduce scan time.
