Product Overview
The GE IC697VAL314 Analog Output Module is an industrial analog output module developed for the GE Fanuc Series 90-70 PLC platform. It serves as the interface between the PLC controller and field devices requiring continuously variable analog control signals, enabling precise regulation of industrial processes and equipment.
Unlike digital output modules that provide simple ON/OFF switching, the IC697VAL314 converts digital control data generated by the PLC into proportional analog output signals. These signals are used to control compatible industrial devices such as proportional control valves, valve positioners, variable frequency drives (VFDs), process controllers, dosing systems, servo controllers, and other equipment requiring continuously adjustable inputs.
Installed directly into the Series 90-70 PLC rack, the module communicates with the CPU through the high-speed backplane. The PLC application continuously calculates the required output value based on process measurements, operator commands, production recipes, or PID control algorithms. The IC697VAL314 then delivers the corresponding analog signal to the connected field device.
The module is widely used in manufacturing automation, chemical processing, oil and gas, power generation, water treatment, HVAC, pharmaceutical production, food and beverage processing, mining, and other industrial automation systems requiring stable and accurate analog process control.
With dimensions of 200 × 40 × 150 mm and an approximate weight of 1.36 kg, the IC697VAL314 is designed for compact rack-mounted installation inside industrial control cabinets while providing dependable long-term performance.
