Product Introduction
The is a 4-channel analog mixed output module designed for the Series 90-30 PLC platform. It provides flexible, software-configurable output ranges for both voltage and current signals without requiring physical jumpers or DIP switches on the module.
This module delivers 12-bit resolution and channel-to-channel isolation, ensuring precise and reliable control for analog actuators. Each channel can be independently configured, making it ideal for closed-loop control applications involving flow, pressure, and液位 (level) regulation, as well as driving variable frequency drives and valve positioners.
Firmware/Software Versions & Upgrade Notes
- Lifecycle Status: This module is discontinued with no direct OEM replacement. Upgrades to newer 90-30 analog modules or migration to the PACSystems RX3i platform may require logic recompilation.
- Direct Replacement: The IC693ALG393 is a direct replacement for this module. It is a 4-channel analog output module with functionally, wiring, and software-compatible specifications. It can be swapped directly without rewiring or modifying the existing PLC program.
- Configuration Tool: All channel parameters and output modes are configured entirely via Proficy Machine Edition (PME) or LogicMaster 90-30.
- Wiring Standard: Current outputs utilize I+ and I- terminals, while voltage outputs utilize V+ and V- terminals. Each channel operates independently.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can I hot-swap this analog output module while the backplane is energized?
Yes, the module supports hot-swapping, but field experience dictates extreme caution. Always verify that the connected actuators or valves will enter a safe state when the module is removed. Use proper ESD protection to prevent electrostatic discharge from damaging the backplane connectors.
Is this model obsolete, and what is my direct upgrade path?
Yes, the is discontinued. The direct replacement is the IC693ALG393. It is a 4-channel analog output module that is functionally, wiring, and software-compatible. You can replace the with the IC693ALG393 without needing to rewire the field connections or modify the PLC program.
How do I configure the output ranges for each channel?
The unit is completely software-configurable. Using Proficy Machine Edition, you can individually set each of the 4 channels to output either ±10 VDC, 0–20 mA, or 4–20 mA. This eliminates the need for hardware jumpers and allows for flexible panel design.
How does your warranty compare to standard refurbished parts?
We provide a strict 12-month warranty on all New Surplus inventory. Refurbished analog modules often carry short-term warranties because aged capacitors can cause signal drift and unpredictable output noise. Our New Surplus parts are sealed, original OEM components that have passed electrical testing (megger >10MΩ) and live bench tests, guaranteeing factory-fresh signal accuracy.
Why is the price higher than refurbished but lower than factory-new OEM?
New Surplus pricing reflects original OEM manufacturing quality without current factory lead times or premium pricing for discontinued parts. You are paying for verified, unopened inventory that has passed rigorous incoming traceability checks and live bench tests. This guarantees factory-fresh reliability at a fraction of the OEM list price, bridging the gap between risky used parts and expensive new production.
Does this module support both voltage and current outputs simultaneously?
Yes, each of the 4 channels is independently selectable for either voltage (±10V) or current (0-20mA / 4-20mA) output. This flexibility allows you to mix signal types within a single module, reducing spare parts inventory and simplifying panel design.
