IC670ALG310 voltage-source analog output module

The GE IC670ALG310 module is a voltage-source analog output module. It is designed with 8 different

channels for voltage outputs that can be auto scaled as configured by the operators. The module takes

the input from the bus interface unit that is connected to it and enhances the data for calibration and

converts the data into output voltage in a range between -10 and +10 Volts. The IC670ALG310 output

module has enhanced diagnostics. It can easily detect over range and under range situations, loss of

user power, and an uncalibrated module. The output module also features alarms that can be set by the

users for different events. The module treats output values as under range and over range when they

do not meet the th 50 millivolts requirement of module’s maximum or minimum output settings.

The IC670ALG310 output module is compact in size and it can fit into small spaces. For input data, it takes

0 to 8 words of analog output data, 0 to 3 bytes of input data for the module and channel status, and 0 to 2

bytes of output data for clearing alarms. All of the data exchanges takes place between the output module and

the bus interface unit. The IC670ALG310 output module comes with a “Channel Active” feature that lets the

operators configure an individual channel as either active or inactive. The module also comes with local output

default features that help to configure the data to the default settings or to zero for the module data in the bus

interface unit. The module draws 170 milliamps of current from the bus interface. The resolution of the module is 14 bits and the magnitude data size is 14 bits.
