GE Fanuc IC695ALG616 Non-Isolated Differential Analogue Input Module

The IC695ALG616 is a PACSystem RX3i Programmable Automation Controller (PAC) non-isolated analogue input module, formerly manufactured by GE Intelligent Platforms (GE IP) and now part of Emerson Automation. The module features sixteen (16) single-ended inputs or eight (8) differential input channels and is compatible with 0 to 20mA, 4 to 20mA ± 20mA current signals and ±10V, 0 to 10V, ±5V, 0 to 5V, and 1 to 5V voltage signals. The module is mounted on the RX3i general-purpose backplane and has 24-bit ADC conversion resolution. This IC695ALG616 is an analogue input module manufactured by Emerson Automation (formerly GE Intelligent Platforms (GE IP)). If configured as a single-ended input, this module functions to provide sixteen (16) analogue input channels or eight (8) analogue inputs for differential wiring. It has an internal analogue-to-digital converter (ADC) with a 24-bit output conversion resolution.

The IC695ALG616 input channels are compatible with wires with analogue current and voltage signals. The module accepts current signals including 0 to 20mA, 4 to 20mA, ± 20mA current signals and ±10V, 0 to 10V, ±5V, 0 to 5V, 1 to 5V voltage signals. The converted analogue data is saved as floating point 16-bit IEEE data or 32-bit integers using 32-bit registers. Each channel of the module has configurable channel filters to stabilise and minimise fluctuations to be useful to the process. Configurable input filters include 8Hz, 12Hz, 16Hz, 40Hz, 200Hz, and 500Hz.

The module's parameters are configured using Proficy Machine Edition (PME) programming software. No jumpers or DIP switches are required to indicate the operation of the module. In addition, the module is capable of performing automatic calibration during each startup. Embedded module protections include open-circuit detection, overvoltage and overcurrent protection. In addition to these protection settings, each channel can be individually configured with alarm settings, specifically very low, low, high and very high alarms. Positive and negative rates of change can also be included in the module's alarm functions, and module faults can be configured to be reported to the host CPU.

The GE Fanuc RX3i PacSystems IC695ALG616 Non-Isolated Differential Analogue Input Module is available in current ranges of -20 to 20 mA, 4 to 20 mA, or 0 to 20 mA, and in voltage ranges of 5 volts DC, 0 to 5 volts DC, 1 to 5 volts DC, 0 to 10 volts DC, or -10 to 10 volts DC. The module has a Module OK LED to indicate the operational status of the unit. The Field Status LED indicates if there is a fault or channel error at at least one terminal, and the Terminal or TB LEDs indicate the presence of the system's terminals.All LEDs on the IC695ALG616 Non-Isolated Differential Analogue Input Module draw their power from the backplane power bus.The GE Fanuc IC695ALG616 Analogue Input Module has rate-of-change alarms, Onboard Error Verification, Channel Fault Alarm, Fault Reporting, Auto Calibration, Flash Slot, Configurable Offset and Scaling per Channel, and Detection of Terminal Insertion or Removal.

The GE Fanuc IC695ALG616 analogue input module has a storage temperature range of -40 to 185 degrees Fahrenheit and an operating temperature range of 32 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit. The module requires a non-condensing and relative humidity level of 5% to 95%. It has a vibration rating of 0 to 006 Hz with a peak displacement of 0911.60068 mm (2.6 in.) per JISC10 and IEC57-0-0524 international standards, and a vibration immunity rating of 27 G in 2 ms per JISC15 and IEC11-0912-60068 international standards.
