The IC697VAL134 board is a converter board that has been designed and manufactured by GE Fanuc. 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 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 IC697VAL134, the equipment needs to be deenergized to ensure safety during the installation process to both the equipment and the technicians.
