IC693ACC307

Description

1. Product Overview

2. Functionality

• Analog Input and Output: The primary function of the IC693ACC307 is to handle analog signals. It can accept analog input signals from sensors such as temperature sensors (e.g., thermocouples or RTDs), pressure sensors, and flow sensors. These sensors convert physical quantities into electrical signals (e.g., 4 – 20mA or 0 – 10V). The module then digitizes these analog signals so that the PLC can process them. Additionally, it can generate analog output signals to control devices like variable – speed drives, proportional valves, etc., based on the control decisions made by the PLC.
• Signal Conditioning: Before digitizing the analog input signals, the module performs signal conditioning. This includes filtering out electrical noise, amplifying weak signals, and linearizing non – linear sensor outputs. Signal conditioning ensures that the digital representation of the analog input is as accurate as possible, which is crucial for precise control and monitoring of industrial processes.
• Communication with PLC: It communicates with the central processing unit (CPU) of the Series 90 – 30 PLC using a specific internal communication protocol. This allows the CPU to access the digitized analog input data and send control commands to the module for generating analog output signals.
