GE IC697ALG320 Analog Output, Voltage/Current, 4 Channels
If the module is installed on an I/O Terminal Block with Box Terminals or Barrier Terminals, anAuxiliary Terminal Block may be used to provide additional wiring terminals. For the I/O
Terminal Block with Wire to Board Connectors, external connection points are usually preferred,
although an Auxiliary Terminal Block can be used.
Auxiliary Terminal Blocks have all terminals connected together internally. The Auxiliary
Terminal Block with box terminals has 13 terminals, each of which accommodates one AWG
# 14 (avg 2.1mm2 cross section) to AWG #22 (avg 0.36mm2 cross section) wire, or two wires up
to AWG #18 (avg. 0.86mm2 cross section). The Auxiliary Terminal Block with barrier terminals
has nine terminals, each of which can accommodate one or two wires up to AWG #14 (avg
2.1mm2 cross section).
The Panel Ground Shield from the Auxiliary Terminal Block to the panel should be AWG #14
wire, not longer than 4 inches (10cm)
With our CPX family of CPUs, the Series 90-70
offers more for your automation dollar—more
computing power, more memory for your
applications, and more communications and
redundancy capabilities. And it provides
increased flexibility for a variety of
applications due to a wide range of isolated
and high-density VME analog I/O modules.
Open Architecture
Based on the VME-bus standard, the Series
90-70 can be used with thousands of boards
produced by hundreds of different manu facturers to build a solution that meets your
exact needs. These include links to drives
and drive systems, servo motor controllers,
embedded solutions for vision systems and
bus-to-bus interface modules, as well as a
variety of modules available from GE (see
accompanying table).
Various Degrees of Redundancy
Combining the Series 90-70 with the
advanced functionality of Genius* I/O,
GE Genius Modular Redundancy (GMR)
systems and Hot Standby systems can
provide as much or as little redundancy
as you need for your critical applications.

• The versatility and strength of the GMR
system make it an ideal choice for rigorous
emergency shutdown and human life pro tection systems. It has a class 6 TÜV rating.
• Based on three isolated PLCs and extensive
diagnostics, the GMR triple modular
redundancy system uses two-out-of-three
voting to provide high reliability and error free operation.
• CPU Genius Redundancy (CGR) systems
achieve enhanced hot standby CPU redun dancy by connecting two power supplies
and two CGR CPUs to one or more Genius
I/O networks.
Flexible Communications Options
The Series 90-70 offers a wide variety of
communications options, including Ethernet
TCP/IP, reflective memory, Genius LAN,
and serial communications modules that
enable precise solutions using off-the-shelf
components. It is an ideal candidate for
acting as your factory-floor server, collecting
data and seamlessly integrating it with the
ERP system.
