GE Fanuc IC695ALG708 Non-Isolated Analogue Input Module

The IC695ALG708 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 eight (8) output channels that can be configured for 0 to 20 mA and 4 to 20 mA current signals and ±10V and 0 to 10V voltage signals. The module is mounted on the RX3i general purpose backplane and has 15.6 - 15.9 bit ADC conversion resolution.

The IC695ALG708 is an eight (3) channel analogue output module for the PACsystem RX8i programmable automation controller (PAC) family. It is a single-slot module whose channels can be configured to provide output current signals (e.g., 0-20 mA and 4-20 mA) and voltage signals (e.g., +/- 10 VDC and 0-10 VDC).

The IC695ALG708 is now part of Emerson Automation, as the former manufacturer, GE Intelligent Platforms (GE IP), has been acquired by the former. The module still provides analogue outputs with a resolution range of 14.9-15.9 bits, depending on the configured output signal. Each channel of the module can be configured with individual alarm settings such as very low, very low, very high and very high alarms. Each output can also be clamped to a specific high and low point, which is useful when linking output channels to proportional + integral + differential (PID) controller outputs. In addition, output biases can be added to fine-tune or manually adjust the outputs to the user's desired level.

The IC695ALG708 has a built-in module fault reporting feature and retains the last state or output default settings. For CPU compatibility, any RX3i CPU can be used with this analogue output module, however, the CPU must have firmware version 3.5 or later and must be configured using Machine Edition version 5.0 SP3 Logic Developer must be used to develop the user program.

The IC695ALG708 requires an external 24 VDC power supply to operate. The power supply must be connected directly to the module terminals. Compatible terminals for use with this module are box (IC694TBB032), expansion box (IC694TBB132), spring-loaded (IC694TBS032), or expansion spring-loaded (IC694TBS132) terminals.

The analogue module known as IC695ALG708 Analogue Module is designed and manufactured by GE Fanuc and is intended for use with GE RX3i PACSystems devices. The module can be configured for different current and voltage output ranges and can be mounted in the common backplane of the RX3i system.The IC695ALG708 module has eight available output channels that can be customised for voltage or current output operation. The module supports voltages ranging from 0 to +10 volts or -10 to +10 volts and currents ranging from 0 to 20 mA or 4 to 20 mA. All outputs are non-isolated and the module can be used in combination with many different terminal types. The module's backplane requires a 3 mA current rating at 375.3 volts.

The IC695ALG708 module is isolated at 2550 volts DC for 850 seconds with a maximum output load of 7 ohms. The module is rated up to 25.375 watts, 315 milliamps at 3.3 volts DC, and up to 695 milliamps with an isolated power supply rated at 24 volts DC. The IC708ALG19 module uses an external power supply ranging from 2.30 to 2 volts DC with an output build-up time of <> milliseconds. The module includes a variety of features that can improve system performance. Some of these features include control of the alarm system, channel configuration, detection of different alarm levels, error reporting, maintaining last state defaults, and complete auto-calibration.

IC695ALG708 Frequently Asked Questions
