The IC697VAL348 from GE Fanuc Automation delivers high-precision analog output. Each of its 8 channels uses a separate 16-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC). This design ensures accurate voltage output up to 10 Volts at 5 milliamps. Consequently, it suits demanding industrial control applications.
This board features a resolution of 16 bits, providing fine output granularity. It buffers an output voltage of 10 Volts with a current capacity of 5 mA. Additionally, the IC697VAL348 supports positive binary input code plus two complementary codings.
The front panel includes a fail LED. This light activates immediately when a fault occurs during operation. For physical construction, the board uses a double Eurocard form factor. It also incorporates a high-reliability DIN connector.
Furthermore, the IC697VAL348 contains several factory-configured jumpers. These include base address selection switches (S1 and S2). The JC switch determines the address modifier. Meanwhile, JA and JB switches select the digital code. The JD switch enables program starting, and the JE switch enables external start convert mode.
First, always check the programming and jumper tables before installation. This step ensures technicians understand current board specifications. Next, power off the entire VMEbus system to prevent damage.
Then, insert the IC697VAL348 into any slot except the master processor position. The board requires no special tools for mounting. After installation, verify the jumper settings match your application needs. Specifically, confirm the base address does not conflict with other modules.
Finally, power up the system and observe the fail LED. If the light remains off, normal operation has started. Periodically inspect the DIN connector for secure attachment.
The IC697VAL348 uses a double Eurocard mechanical format. Its high-reliability DIN connector ensures stable signal transmission. Operating temperature ranges from 0 to 60°C. Storage temperature extends from -40°C to 85°C. Relative humidity tolerance is 5% to 95% non-condensing.

1. How many channels does the IC697VAL348 support?
The IC697VAL348 provides 8 independent analog output channels. Each channel has its own dedicated 16-bit DAC.
2. What output voltage and current can this board deliver?
It delivers a buffered 10 Volts at 5 milliamps per channel. Additionally, it supports positive binary and two complementary codings.
3. Where can I install the IC697VAL348 in a VMEbus system?
You can place it in any slot except the one reserved for the master processor. For instance, choose an empty I/O slot for best results.
4. What does the front panel fail LED indicate?
The fail LED lights up when a fault occurs during operation. Therefore, check this LED regularly during system maintenance.
5. Do I need to change jumpers on the IC697VAL348?
Factory jumpers work for most applications. However, you may adjust S1, S2, JC, JA, JB, JD, or JE switches for specific address or code requirements.
