Features:
- IC600BF941 delivers four independently addressed 0–10 V outputs.
- Each channel converts 12-bit data at one-part-in-4096 resolution.
- Revision B operates in local and remote Series Six I/O racks.
IC600BF941 converts 12-bit Series Six output data into a unipolar 0–10 V signal on one of four independently addressed analog channels.
Each selected channel holds its commanded level until the CPU accesses it again, providing stable references for process-control and motor-speed applications.
Revision B supports local and remote I/O, while Revision A is restricted to local I/O; the manufacturer also specifies a 90-day calibration interval for maximum accuracy.
Apter Power can quote and source the General Electric IC600BF941 0–10 V Analog Output Module, provide the applicable manufacturer documentation, and assist with CPU compatibility, channel calibration, configuration, and replacement planning.

CPU, revision, and I/O compatibility
- Revision B: IC600BF941B is documented for both local and remote I/O applications.
- Revision A: IC600BF941A should be used only in local I/O applications.
- CPU versions: Minimum serial-number requirements apply to Model 60, Model 600, and Model 6000 CPUs.
- Reference allocation: The module uses 16 output-status bits, including the channel-selection code and 12 data bits.
Analog-output operating environment
- Operating temperature: The documented module range is 0 to 60 °C at the outside of the rack.
- Storage temperature: The manufacturer specifies −20 to +80 °C.
- Relative humidity: IC600BF941 is intended for 5 to 95% non-condensing humidity.
- Calibration ambient: For maximum accuracy, calibrate at the normal ambient temperature expected in service.
Monitoring four analog output channels
- Channel selection: Two status-table bits identify which of the four channels receives the 12-bit value.
- Held output: The selected voltage remains at its commanded level until that channel is accessed again.
- Module indicator: A faceplate LED displays module status.
- Calibration check: A five-digit DVM and IC600MA508A connector are used to verify low-end and high-end channel outputs.
Isolation and output safeguards
- Optical isolation: The data path separates user field circuits from the Series Six controller bus.
- Output drive: Each 0–10 V channel is specified for ±5 mA with up to 750 pF load capacitance.
- Shared common: Field wiring must account for the common return shared by the four voltage-output channels.
- Range changes: Recalibrate any channel after changing its on-board output-range jumpers.
