GE Fanuc IC693ALG442C Series 90-30 Analog I/O Module

Product Overview

The IC693ALG442C is a mixed analog input/output module for GE Fanuc Series 90‑30 PLCs. It integrates four differential analog input channels and two single-ended analog output channels, supporting voltage and current signals. This combination reduces hardware requirements while providing precise signal acquisition and control in process automation applications.

Functional Description

The IC693ALG442C allows PLCs to read analog signals from sensors (e.g., temperature, pressure, flow) and output control signals to actuators or valves. The module updates all channels in 4–8 ms, providing fast, real-time responses. It includes detailed status reporting, covering module health, open wire and overload conditions, and high/low input status.
