The GE IC670ALG240-CB, also cataloged as the IC670ALG240 Analog Input Module, operates as a dedicated hardware component for high-resolution current-source data acquisition within Field Control I/O platforms. It conditions and digitizes signals across eight single-ended input channels with 16-bit ADC resolution over a 0.0 to 20.48 mA signal range. The module transfers digitized process variables across the bus interface unit while maintaining 1500 VAC galvanic isolation between field inputs and logic circuits.

The GE IC670ALG240-CB interfaces directly with the Field Control Bus Interface Unit (BIU) to achieve deterministic backplane bus communication velocity across distributed I/O racks. Operating with a 2 ms cycle update rate across all eight single-ended channels, the internal bus logic scales overall I/O density while minimizing CPU polling overhead. Maintained firmware flash compatibility ensures synchronized register mapping, onboard 2nd order RC filtering, and seamless channel data delivery across centralized or remote rack configurations.
Q: What is the maximum backplane current draw from the Bus Interface Unit (BIU)?
A: The module draws up to 251 mA maximum from the BIU logic power rail. External 24 VDC power (20 to 28 VDC range) must be supplied to the field terminal block to power the active analog current loops.
Q: Can this module interface directly with standard 2-wire transmitters?
A: Yes, the input circuitry supports ANSI Type 2 and Type 3 two-wire transmitter configurations. Field current loops pass through internal 250 ohm precision shunt resistors to convert 4-20 mA loop currents into high-resolution 16-bit digital values.
Mount the base terminal block onto a standard 35 mm DIN rail inside an IP54-rated industrial cabinet. Snap the module securely onto its corresponding I/O terminal base until the locking mechanism fully engages. Maintain an ambient operating temperature between 0 deg C and +60 deg C with adequate spacing to permit natural convection cooling.
Connect 24 VDC external field power and input signals using shielded twisted-pair cables. Terminate signal wires at the designated screw terminals on the base module. Connect cable shields to the cabinet ground bar at a single grounding point to maintain 86 dB common-mode rejection and suppress high-frequency electromagnetic interference. Ensure all wiring complies with Class I, Division 2 / Zone 2 installation standards where applicable.
