The
GE IC695ALG600 is a highly versatile universal analog input module designed for the PACSystem RX3i platform.
Originally produced by GE Intelligent Platforms, it is now managed and supported by Emerson Automation.
This module features 8 general-purpose input channels and 2 dedicated cold-junction compensation (CJC) channels.
Channels are arranged in two groups of four, and each can be configured independently for any supported signal type.
It supports flash memory for firmware upgrades and includes clear LED status indicators for easy diagnostics.
Input Signal Compatibility
The
IC695ALG600 supports a full range of industrial analog signals for maximum application flexibility.
Current inputs include 0–20 mA, 4–20 mA, and ±20 mA for standard transmitter signals.
Voltage inputs cover ±50 mV, ±150 mV, 0–5 V, 1–5 V, 0–10 V, and ±10 V.
Resistance ranges include 0–250, 500, 1000, 2000, 3000, and 4000 ohms.
It also supports all common thermocouple types and a wide variety of RTD sensors.
Supported RTD and Thermocouple Types
This module accepts RTD types including Pt385, Pt3916, Ni618, Ni672, NiFe518, and Cu426.
Thermocouple support includes types B, C, E, J, K, N, R, S, and T for full temperature coverage.
Two dedicated CJC channels ensure accurate cold-junction compensation for thermocouple measurements.
Each channel can be programmed individually via Proficy Machine Edition software.
This flexibility eliminates the need for multiple dedicated modules in mixed-signal systems.
Filtering & Response Performance
The
IC695ALG600 offers six configurable digital filter frequencies for noise reduction.
Options include 8 Hz, 12 Hz, 16 Hz, 40 Hz, 200 Hz, and 1000 Hz to match process requirements.
Users can balance response speed and signal stability for each input channel.
Maximum RTD cable impedance is limited to 25 ohms to maintain measurement accuracy.
High noise immunity ensures reliable operation in electrically harsh environments.
Electrical & Power Characteristics
The module operates from the RX3i backplane with low power consumption.
It draws 350 mA at 3.3V and 400 mA at 5V, with a maximum power dissipation of 5.4 Watts.
It can only be installed on a local RX3i universal backplane, not on remote or expansion racks.
Firmware version 2.80 or newer is required for proper CPU compatibility.
Stable power delivery ensures consistent performance across all operating conditions.
Status Indicators & Diagnostics
The
IC695ALG600 includes three sets of LEDs for real-time status monitoring.
The Module OK LED shows overall module health and operational status.
The Field Status LED alerts users to channel faults or terminal block errors.
The TB LED indicates whether a compatible terminal block is properly installed.
These visual indicators speed up commissioning and reduce troubleshooting time.
Environmental & Mechanical Specifications
The module operates reliably within a temperature range of 0 °C to 60 °C.
Storage temperature spans from -40 °C to 85 °C for safe transport and warehousing.
It withstands industrial humidity levels from 5% to 95% non-condensing.
Its compact form factor occupies a single slot in the RX3i rack.
Robust construction ensures long-term durability under vibration and shock loads.
Installation & Wiring
The
IC695ALG600 requires a separate compatible terminal block for field wiring.
Supported types include box-style, spring-style, and extended versions.
Extended blocks are recommended for shielded cables and thicker insulation.
Configuration uses Proficy Machine Edition version 5.0 SP1A LD-PLC Hotfix 1 or later.
Channel grouping and signal assignment are fully software-configurable without hardware changes.
