GE IC695ALG608 PACsystem RX3i Analog Input Module

DESCRIPTION: The IC695ALG608 is an analog input module that is part of the PACSystem RX3i platform, currently part of Emerson Automation and formerly manufactured by GE Intelligent Platforms (GE IP). The module features eight (8) non-isolated single-ended input channels or four (4) differential input channels supporting +/-10 VDC, 0-10 VDC, +/- 5VDC, 0-5 VDC, 1-5 VDC, and 0-20 mA, 4-20 mA, and +/- 20mA input signals. The module has a built-in ADC converter that converts data to floating-point data type integers with 24-bit resolution.

About the IC695ALG608

The IC695ALG608 is an analog input module for the PACsystem RX3i platform. When configured for single-ended wiring, the module is capable of providing up to eight (8) input channels and four (4) input channels for differential input wiring. It supports a variety of input signals such as +/-10 VDC, 0-10 VDC, +/- 5 VDC, 0-5 VDC, 1-5 VDC, and 0-20 mA, 4-20 mA, and +/- 20mA inputs, and has a built-in 24-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) that converts incoming analog data to integer or floating-point data.

The IC695ALG608 is mounted on the RX3i general-purpose backplane. It occupies a single slot in the rack and consumes 330 mA max @ 5.0V +5% / -2.5% and 600 mA max @ 3.3V +5% / -3%. This module is used with RX3i Central Processing Unit (CPU) firmware version 3.0 or higher and is configured using Machine Edition version 5.0 SP3 and higher. Available filter options for each input channel include 8Hz, 12Hz, 16Hz, 40Hz, 200Hz, and 500Hz, which are primarily used to normalize analog readings and eliminate fast fluctuations.

This IC695ALG608 is compatible with a variety of terminal blocks such as cassette (IC694TBB032), extended cassette (IC694TBB132), spring-loaded (IC694TBS032), or extended spring-loaded (IC694TBS132) terminal blocks. The module has no external jumpers for setting up module operation, but rather defines parameters via software-configurable parameters. In addition, the module features fully automatic calibration, on-board error checking, open-circuit detection, alarm setup, module fault reporting, channel alarm interrupts and faults, and other equally important features.

The GE Fanuc IC695ALG608 module is a non-isolated analog current or voltage input module that supports single-ended and differential distribution line configurations. The module is from the RX3i PacSystem family. The current range of the module is between 0 and 20 mA, 4 and 20 mA, and -20 and +20 mA. The module has a voltage range of -10 to +10 volts DC, 0 to 10 volts DC, 0 to 5 volts DC, and 1 to 5 volts DC. It has four differential input channels or eight single-ended input channels with internal current ratings of 450 mA (3.3 V) and 600 mA (5 V).GE Fanuc IC695ALG608 analog input module can be used with the extended spring-loaded IC694TBS132 terminal block, extended cartridge IC694TBB132 terminal block, and spring-loaded IC694TBS032 terminal block. IC694TBS032. spring-loaded IC694TBS032. and box-type IC694TBB032 terminal blocks. The extended terminals provide the extra shroud depth needed for shielded wiring.

The GE Fanuc IC695ALG608 analog input module is installed in the RX3i PacSystem's universal backplane. It features on-board error monitoring, module fault reporting, full auto-calibration, startup auto-calibration, negative and positive alarm rate of change, terminal block detection for removing or inserting terminals, and flash memory for upgrades. When testing the input channels of the GE Fanuc IC695ALG608 module, 3 things need to be confirmed: stable channels, accurate channels and active channels. Users need to use a high density terminal strip like the IC694TBB032 strip to test the module. Ensure that the strip is connected by confirming that the green LED is on and that the strip's lever is in the upright position.
