GE 04220FL11232A Industrial Signal Processing Module
1. Product Description
GE 04220FL11232A is an industrial-grade signal processing module from GE, designed to convert and condition analog signals in automation systems. It’s ideal for use in factory control panels, process monitoring (e.g., water treatment, oil & gas), and HVAC systems—scenarios where sensors (like temperature, pressure, or flow sensors) output weak or incompatible signals that need adjustment to work with PLCs or controllers.
What makes it practical:
- Signal Conversion & Conditioning: Takes weak analog signals (e.g., 0-5V from a temperature sensor) and converts them to standard industrial signals (e.g., 4-20mA) that controllers can read reliably. It also filters out electrical noise to keep data accurate.
- Easy to Use: Has simple dials to adjust signal ranges (no complex programming) and LED indicators to show power status and signal activity—so you can quickly check if it’s working.
- Durable for Factories: Built with a rugged plastic housing that resists dust, vibration, and mild moisture. It works steadily on busy factory floors or in outdoor control cabinets.
It’s perfect for connecting low-voltage temperature sensors to PLCs in a food processing plant, or filtering noisy pressure sensor signals near large motors.

3. System Integration
The 04220FL11232A acts as a “signal translator” in industrial systems:
- Bridge Between Sensors & Controllers: Connects sensors with non-standard signals (e.g., a 0-5V flow sensor) to PLCs that only read 4-20mA. It converts the signal so the controller can process data correctly (e.g., calculate flow rate).
- Noise Reduction: Filters out electrical interference from nearby motors or power cables. This stops distorted signals from causing wrong controller actions (e.g., incorrect heating in a factory oven).
- Simple Wiring: Uses standard thin industrial wire (0.5-1.5mm²) for input, output, and power. It clips onto a DIN rail and can be added to existing control panels in 10-15 minutes.
- Quick Troubleshooting: LEDs show if power is on (green) and if a valid signal is passing through (yellow). A dark yellow LED means you need to check the sensor wiring or signal source.
