Expert Answers to Common Questions
1. What kind of devices can I connect to this board’s outputs?
You can connect to speed controllers, servo drives, analog chart recorders, or process controllers that accept a standard 0-10V control signal.
2. How do I set the correct address for this board in my PLC rack?
Use the base address selection switches (S1 and S2) on the board. Refer to the GE Series 90-70 hardware manual for the correct switch settings based on your desired slot address.
3. One channel shows a fault LED. What should I check first?
First, check the wiring for a short circuit or overload on that channel. Then, verify the digital code and output range settings in your PLC program match the board’s jumper configuration (JA, JB).
4. Can I use this board to output a -10V to +10V signal?
No. The IC697VAL348 is designed for unipolar 0 to +10V output.
5. Is special software needed to program and use this analog output board?
You program it using the standard GE Proficy Machine Edition (PME) software. You configure the digital values in your ladder logic or function block diagrams that correspond to the desired analog voltage.
