Features:
- IC600BF942 delivers four independently addressed -10 to +10 V outputs.
- Twelve-bit conversion provides one-part-in-4096 resolution.
- Revision B works in local or remote Series Six I/O racks.
IC600BF942 maps its four channels through 16 consecutive output references and updates the channel selected by the two-bit address field.
A BOARD OK indicator reports module access and controller or rack conditions without duplicating the individual voltage command.
Channel jumpers permit range assignment, while separate offset and gain adjustments support calibration at the installed operating temperature.
Apter Power can quote and source the General Electric IC600BF942 Bipolar Analog Output Module, provide the applicable manufacturer documentation, and assist with channel-range setup and replacement planning.

Rack and revision fit for bipolar output service
- Platform: Install IC600BF942 in a Series Six I/O rack or the I/O section of a compatible CPU rack.
- Series A: Use revision A only for local I/O applications.
- Series B: Revision B supports both local and remote I/O locations.
- CPU level: Confirm the documented minimum CPU serial level before placing the analog module in service.
Conditions for stable bipolar conversion
- Operating range: Maintain 0 to 60 degrees C at the outside of the rack.
- Storage range: The documented storage limits are -20 to 80 degrees C.
- Humidity: Keep relative humidity between 5 and 95% without condensation.
- Rack demand: Reserve 1.5 A from the 5 VDC I/O-rack supply.
Following channel data and module health
- BOARD OK: The faceplate LED shows whether IC600BF942 is operating and being accessed.
- Channel code: Output bits 13 and 14 identify which of the four channels receives new data.
- Held value: An unselected channel maintains its last converted voltage.
- Fault context: A stopped CPU, rack-supply problem, or board malfunction can remove the BOARD OK indication.
Restoring -10 to +10 V channel accuracy
- Interval: Calibrate IC600BF942 every 90 days for maximum accuracy.
- Equipment: Use a five-digit voltmeter and IC600MA508A calibration connector.
- Low end: Apply the documented channel code with data 800 hex and adjust to -10.0000 V.
- High end: Apply data 7FF hex and adjust the selected channel toward +9.9951 V.
