Application-Specific FAQ
Q: Can the IC693PTM101A accept 4–20 mA current loop signals?
A: No. This module is designed specifically for bridge/strain gauge transducers (millivolt output). For 4–20 mA inputs, use the GE IC693ALG222 analog input module instead.
Q: How many IC693PTM101A modules can I install in one rack?
A: Multiple modules can be installed in the same rack, limited only by available slots and backplane power budget. Each module occupies one slot.
Q: Is this module compatible with the Series 90-70 or PACSystems RX3i?
A: No. The IC693PTM101A is exclusive to the Series 90-30 (IC693) backplane. It is not compatible with IC697 (Series 90-70) or IC695 (RX3i) racks.
Q: What cable type is recommended for the transducer connection?
A: Use shielded, twisted-pair cable (Belden 9842 or equivalent) with the shield grounded at the module end only to minimize noise pickup.
Q: Can I use a 6-wire load cell for remote sense?
A: Yes. The IC693PTM101A supports 6-wire connections with sense lines to compensate for cable resistance, improving accuracy over long cable runs.
Q: What software is required for configuration?
A: GE Proficy Machine Edition (ME) or the legacy Logicmaster 90-30 programming software. No additional hardware configurator is needed.
