IC697VDD100 | GE Electric Video Display Driver module
Product Function
The IC697VDD100 is an intelligent Video Display Driver module designed for GE’s Series 90-70 PLC systems. Its primary function is to generate a standard VGA output signal, enabling direct connection of a VGA monitor to the PLC rack. This allows real-time display of process data, system diagnostics, ladder logic, alarms, and operational parameters at the machine location, eliminating the need for a separate HMI or PC for basic monitoring and troubleshooting.
