GE IC693ALG442 Analog Input/Output Module – Series 90-30
When a critical analog signal chain fails on the plant floor — a temperature loop goes open, a pressure transmitter loses its 4–20 mA feedback, or a proportional valve stops responding — the entire production line can halt within seconds. Without a reliable analog I/O module at the heart of your GE Series 90-30 PLC rack, operators lose visibility into process variables, safety interlocks may trip, and unplanned downtime costs mount rapidly. The GE IC693ALG442 is the precision interface that keeps your analog world connected to your control system, ensuring continuous, accurate signal exchange between field instruments and the PLC CPU.
The IC693ALG442 occupies a well-established position within GE’s Series 90-30 analog I/O family, offering a combined 4-channel analog input and 2-channel analog output configuration in a single module slot. As part of the IC693 series — one of the most widely deployed PLC platforms in North American and global process industries — this module benefits from decades of field-proven reliability, broad third-party compatibility, and an extensive installed base across manufacturing, oil & gas, water treatment, and power generation facilities worldwide.

Key Features & Benefits
- Dual-mode signal flexibility: Each input and output channel supports both voltage (±10 V) and current (4–20 mA) modes, eliminating the need for separate modules for different field device types.
- 12-bit resolution: Provides 4,096 discrete levels of measurement accuracy, suitable for precise process control in temperature, pressure, flow, and level applications.
- Optical isolation: Protects the PLC backplane and CPU from field-side transients, ground loops, and electrical noise common in industrial environments.
- Compact combined I/O: Integrating 4 inputs and 2 outputs in one slot reduces rack space consumption and lowers total system cost compared to using separate input and output modules.
- Hot-swap capable rack design: Compatible with Series 90-30 racks that support module replacement without full system shutdown (subject to system configuration).
- Wide installed base: Extensive global deployment means readily available spare parts, experienced integrators, and comprehensive documentation support.
- Software-configurable channels: Channel parameters are set via Proficy ME software, reducing wiring changes when reconfiguring signal types.
