GE Fanuc IC697ACC722B: Analog Input Module
The GE Fanuc IC697ACC722B is an analog input module designed for use within the GE Fanuc Series 90-70 programmable logic controller (PLC) system.
Product Description:
- This module allows you to connect various industrial sensors that provide analog voltage or current signals to the PLC system for data acquisition and process control applications.
- The IC697ACC722B converts these analog signals into digital data that the PLC can understand and utilize for tasks like:
- Monitoring process variables (e.g., temperature, pressure, flow rate).
- Implementing control algorithms based on sensor readings.
- Providing data for visualization and analysis.
Key Functionalities:
- Analog Signal Acquisition: Accepts voltage signals ranging from +/-10VDC or current signals ranging from 4-20mA from connected sensors (exact range might depend on configuration).
- Analog-to-Digital Conversion: Transforms the received analog signals into digital data with a specific resolution (number of bits used to represent the analog value).
- Multiple Input Channels: Provides a certain number of input channels (exact number depends on the specific model variation) for connecting and processing signals from multiple sensors simultaneously.
Product Parameters:
Obtaining in-depth technical specifications might be challenging due to the product potentially being an older model. Here’s a breakdown of general features based on similar modules and publicly available information:
- Input Channels: The number of analog input channels will vary depending on the specific model variation (e.g., 4 channels, 8 channels).
- Analog Input Range:
- Voltage: Likely +/-10VDC (selectable).
- Current: Likely 4-20mA (selectable).
- Resolution: The number of bits used to represent the analog value digitally (e.g., 12-bit, 14-bit). Higher resolution provides more precise digital representation of the analog signal.
- Conversion Time: The time it takes for the module to convert an analog signal to a digital value (exact time might vary depending on the model).
- Power Supply: Likely requires an external power source (voltage specifications might vary depending on the model).
