The GE IC695ALG608 is a flexible analog input module designed for the PACSystem RX3i controller series.
Originally developed by GE Intelligent Platforms, it is now supported and supplied by Emerson Automation.
This module can be configured as 8 single-ended channels or 4 differential channels based on system needs.
It integrates a high-resolution 24-bit ADC for accurate conversion of voltage and current signals.
All settings are fully software-configurable, with no external jumpers required for operation.
Input Signal Specifications
The IC695ALG608 supports a wide range of industrial voltage and current input signals.
Voltage inputs include ±50 mV, ±150 mV, ±10V, 0–10V, ±5V, 0–5V, and 1–5V.
Current inputs cover 0–20 mA, 4–20 mA, and ±20 mA for standard transmitter compatibility.
Input impedance for voltage channels exceeds 100 kΩ to minimize signal loading.
Current inputs use a 249 Ω ±1% shunt resistor for accurate measurement.
Resolution & Data Format
This module uses a high-precision 24-bit analog-to-digital converter for superior measurement accuracy.
Output data can be configured as IEEE 32-bit floating-point or 16-bit integer in a 32-bit field.
Auto-calibration runs automatically at power-up to maintain long-term measurement stability.
Open-circuit detection responds within 1 second for quick fault identification.
High resolution ensures precise readings even for small signal changes.
Filter & Response Configuration
The IC695ALG608 offers six software-selectable digital filter frequencies.
Options include 8 Hz, 12 Hz, 16 Hz, 40 Hz, 200 Hz, and 500 Hz for noise reduction.
Users can adjust filtering to balance response speed and signal stability.
Filters reduce unwanted fluctuations and improve reliability in noisy environments.
Each channel can be configured independently for optimal performance.
