IC693ALG392 Current/Voltage Output Module

This module is a versatile device designed to handle 4 to 20 mA or 0 to 20 mA current outputs, as well as 0 to 10 volts or -10 to +10 volts voltage outputs. It works in both voltage and current modes, giving you the flexibility to choose depending on your application needs. The module also has built-in fault detection for things like open circuits, helping to keep everything running smoothly. Each channel can be configured independently, so you can set them up however you like.

Now, let’s dive into the details:

Current Operation: In current mode, for the 4 to 20 mA range, 4 mA corresponds to a value of 0, and 20 mA corresponds to a value of 32000. In the 0 to 20 mA range, 0 mA equals 0, and 20 mA equals 32000. If you push the value up to 32767, you’ll get about 20.5 mA output. The module also detects open-loop faults in this mode, reporting them to the PLC in the %I table. So if there’s a problem, the system will let you know.

Voltage Operation: In voltage mode, with the default 0 to +10 volts range, 0 volts equals 0, and +10 volts equals 32000. You can even enter a value up to 32767, giving you around 10.24 volts. If you’re using the -10 to +10 volts range, -10 volts equals -32000, and +10 volts equals +32000. You can go beyond this range a little, up to about ±10.24 volts, if needed.

Connections: To make sure everything works correctly, you need to wire things up right. This module has 8 channels in total, and each channel can be used for either current or voltage output, but not both at the same time. For example, Pin 1 is for the 24V power supply, and then you connect your voltage or current outputs to the respective pins (like Pin 2 for Channel 1 Voltage Output or Pin 3 for Channel 1 Current Output), continuing up to Channel 8.

LED Indicators: On the top of the module, there are two green LEDs. The "OK" LED shows the status of the module, while the "USOK" LED tells you if the user-supplied power is present. If there’s no power or the module isn’t configured correctly, these LEDs will start flashing, so you’ll know right away if something’s off.

Module Capacity: Depending on the CPU model you're using, the number of modules you can install varies. For example, if you’re using a Model 311, 313, or 323, you can install up to 4 modules. But if you’ve got a Model 350 or higher, you can install up to 64 modules. So, you can expand your system quite a bit depending on what you need.

In conclusion, the IC693ALG392 module is a flexible and reliable solution for both current and voltage outputs. No matter what application you’re working on, its versatility and easy configuration make it a great fit.
