Features:
- Eight differential or sixteen single-ended base inputs.
- Up to seven expander modules.
- 120-channel maximum system.
eight differential or sixteen single-ended base inputs establishes the principal capability of
IC697ALG230 within its Series 90-70 function.
The relationship between up to seven expander modules and 120-channel maximum system determines how the module fits the surrounding rack, network, or field circuit.
During service, limit and overrange interrupts must remain consistent with the saved application and the installed hardware.

Input forms accepted by the base converter
- Voltage inputs: Each base channel can be configured for supported unipolar or bipolar ranges up to ±10 V full scale.
- Current loops: The same converter accepts 4-20 mA process signals when the channel is configured for current.
- Channel arrangement: The base provides eight differential inputs or sixteen single-ended inputs.
- PLC data: Converted values are delivered as signed 16-bit data through %AI references.
Building a larger analog subsystem
- Base role: IC697ALG230 performs conversion and control for the attached high-level analog input subsystem.
- Expander types: IC697ALG440 current and IC697ALG441 voltage expanders add sixteen inputs each.
- Module count: As many as seven expander modules can be connected to one base converter.
- Total capacity: A complete base-and-expander arrangement can serve up to 120 analog inputs.
Conversion and channel supervision
- Resolution: The converter uses 14-bit conversion with oversampling and averaging to improve usable resolution.
- Scaling: Every base-converter channel has individual user scaling.
- Protection: Inputs withstand specified transient and steady-state overvoltage conditions.
- Event handling: Limit and overrange conditions can generate configured interrupts for the controller.
Preparing IC697ALG230 for operation
- No hardware switches: Voltage or current selection and operating ranges are assigned in software.
- Reference allocation: The required %AI addresses are reserved for the base and any connected expanders.
- Wiring mode: Differential or single-ended connections are applied consistently with the configured channel arrangement.
- Startup check: EXP ACTIVE and analog status indications are confirmed after every expander is connected.
