GE Fanuc IC697VAL348 8-Channel Digital to Analog Converter Board
The GE Fanuc IC697VAL348 is an 8-channel digital to analog converter board. It belongs to the Series 90-70 product line. This board converts digital signals to precise analog voltage outputs. You can use it for demanding industrial control applications. Each channel has its own dedicated 16-bit DAC.
Technical Specifications of the IC697VAL348
The GE Fanuc IC697VAL348 provides eight (8) input channels for digital data. One 16-bit DAC serves each channel independently. The buffered voltage output is 10 Volts. The output current rating is 5 mA. The board supports positive binary input code. Two different complementary codings are also available.
Physical and Connector Details
The GE Fanuc IC697VAL348 uses a double Eurocard form factor. This provides robust mechanical stability in VMEbus systems. A high-reliability DIN connector handles all signal connections. Six factory jumpers are present on the board for configuration. A front panel Fail LED shows fault status clearly.
Jumpers and Configuration Switches
The GE Fanuc IC697VAL348 includes several factory-configured jumpers. The base address selection switches are S1 and S2. The JC switch determines the address modifier setting. The JA and JB switches select the digital code type. The JD switch enables program start functionality. The JE switch enables external start convert mode.
Compatibility and Installation
The GE Fanuc IC697VAL348 installs in a VMEbus system. You can place it in any slot except the master processor slot. Always power off the equipment before installation. This prevents damage to the board or other system components. Check all programming and factory jumper tables before installation.
Installation Guidelines for the IC697VAL348
Review all jumper configuration tables before starting. Ensure the GE Fanuc IC697VAL348 matches your system requirements. Power down the VMEbus system completely. Insert the board into any available non-processor slot. Secure the board firmly using the DIN connector. Restore power and check the front panel Fail LED. The LED should remain off during normal operation.
