Overview

The IC697VAL134 is a Converter Board from GE. It is part of GE's industrial automation product portfolio.

Application & Technical Notes

As a converter board, the IC697VAL134 is intended for deployment in panel-based control cabinets and machine enclosures where the GE product portfolio equipment is installed. It performs a defined automation function within the control system and is selected to match the installed GE platform.

Specific electrical and mechanical ratings depend on the exact configuration and suffix of the part; the original datasheet should be consulted for the definitive specification.

Maintenance & Diagnostics

Inspect terminals and connectors for corrosion or looseness, and confirm the module seats correctly in its carrier. Always de-energise the circuit and follow lock-out/tag-out before handling; refer to the official instruction bulletin for service procedures.

Sourcing & Procurement

When sourcing the IC697VAL134, distinguish three supply tiers: (1) genuine GE stock from an authorised distributor; (2) compatible equivalents or surplus/NOS (new-old-stock) from third parties; (3) alternative parts offering equivalent function. Genuine supply carries the full warranty and traceability; compatible or alternative items may be cheaper but should be validated for form, fit, firmware and certification before use in a live system. PLCXpert publishes this page as an independent reference and does not sell the part — verify every claim with the manufacturer or your distributor.

Confirm mechanical and electrical compatibility with your GE product portfolio installation and the intended function. Lead times and pricing vary by region and lifecycle status; obtain a current quote from an authorised channel rather than relying on stale listings.

Specifications (source data)

The GE Fanuc Automation IC697VAL134 converter board is used to convert signals from analog to digital by using an ADC converter with a resolution of 12 bits. Technical specifications for IC697VAL134 Brand GE Fanuc Series Series 90-70 Part Number IC697VAL134 Type Converter Board Converter ADC Resolution 12 bits Input channels 31 Input type Single-ended analog input channels Scanning Automatic. 40 kHz aggregate rate Input ranges 50 mV to 10 VDC Cables Discrete wire cables LED Yes, front panel Isolation voltage 1000 VDC The IC697VAL134 board is a converter board that has been designed and manufactured by GE Fanuc Automation. The specific purpose of this board is to work as a signal converter device. It can scan analog input channels and convert the signal from analog to digital. The specific converter that comes embedded in the board is an ADC converter with a resolution of 12 bits. This board does not require the use of any software after it has been powered up and it starts scanning each input channel. The GE Fanuc Automation IC697VAL134 converter board has an input range that goes from +/- 50 minivolts to +/- 10 Volts DC and it comes with input overvoltage protection features. The board also has an isolation voltage of 1000 Volts DC.

The GE Fanuc Automation IC697VAL134 converter board includes a front panel LED that indicates the status of the inputs. This board occupies 128 bytes of I/O VMEbus space and it comes with jumpers that provide space for a board on any 128-bytes boundary. Before installing the GE Fanuc Automation IC697VAL134 converter board, the equipment needs to be deenergized to ensure safety during the installation process to both the equipment and the technicians. This board comes with 40 Hertz input filters that have been factory configured. This board is divided into different functional categories such as the Board ID register, BIT voltage reference, and analog input multiplexing categories. For certain applications, the board requires calibration to operate properly. Frequent maintenance is also recommended to check the physical status of the board and its connections.
