Why Engineers Specify This Model
- Dual-channel isolated outputs eliminate ground-loop interference between field devices — critical in long cable runs common in plant-floor environments.
- 12-bit resolution delivers fine-grained control authority (0.024% step size), meeting the accuracy demands of PID loops in process industries.
- Jumper-selectable current/voltage mode per channel allows a single module SKU to interface with both current-loop transmitters and voltage-input drives, reducing spare-parts inventory.
- Native Series 90 Micro compatibility — plug-and-play integration with IC670MDL series base units; no additional gateway or signal conditioner required.
- Compact DIN-rail footprint suits panel space-constrained OEM machine builds and retrofit projects where rack space is at a premium.
- Proven field reliability — the IC670 platform has an established multi-decade installed base, with readily available replacement modules and documented firmware.

Application-Specific FAQ
Q: Can the IC670ALG320 drive a 4–20 mA control valve positioner directly?
A: Yes. With current output mode selected and load impedance ≤ 500 Ω, the module will drive standard HART-compatible or conventional 4–20 mA positioners without an external loop power supply, provided the Series 90 Micro power supply is correctly sized.
Q: Is the IC670ALG320 compatible with the newer VersaMax Micro (IC200) platform?
A: No. The IC670 series is mechanically and electrically specific to the Series 90 Micro backplane. VersaMax Micro uses the IC200ALG320 equivalent. Konmask stocks both — contact us to confirm the correct part for your platform.
Q: What is the update rate for the analog outputs?
A: Output update rate is governed by the CPU scan cycle. At typical scan times of 5–20 ms for small I/O configurations, the effective analog output refresh rate is 50–200 Hz — adequate for all standard process control loops.
Q: Can I use this module in a hazardous area (Zone 2 / Class I Div 2)?
A: The IC670ALG320 itself is not ATEX/IECEx certified. For hazardous-area installations, mount the module in a purged and pressurized enclosure (Ex p) or use certified Zener barriers/galvanic isolators between the module outputs and field devices located in the hazardous zone.
Q: Do you provide a warranty?
A: Yes. Konmask offers a 90-day functional warranty on all tested units. If a module fails under normal operating conditions within the warranty period, we will replace or refund at our discretion. See our full warranty policy at Konmask.com.
