The
GE IC695ALG616 is a high-density analog input module designed for the PACSystem RX3i platform.
Originally produced by GE Intelligent Platforms, it is now maintained and supported by Emerson Automation.
This module can be configured as 16 single-ended channels or 8 differential channels based on system requirements.
It features a 24-bit ADC for high-accuracy conversion and supports fully software-configured operation.
No jumpers or DIP switches are needed; all parameters are set via Proficy Machine Edition.
Input Signal Specifications
The
IC695ALG616 supports a wide range of standard industrial voltage and current 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 compatibility with most analog transmitters.
Voltage input impedance is greater than 100 kΩ to minimize signal loading.
Current inputs use a 249 Ω ±1% precision shunt for accurate measurement.
Resolution & Data Format
This module uses a high-performance 24-bit analog-to-digital converter for precise signal conversion.
Data can be output 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 accuracy and stability.
Open-circuit detection responds within 1 second for rapid fault identification.
High resolution ensures reliable measurement even for small analog variations.
Filter & Response Settings
The
IC695ALG616 provides six configurable digital filter frequencies per channel.
Options include 8 Hz, 12 Hz, 16 Hz, 40 Hz, 200 Hz, and 500 Hz to reduce noise and stabilize readings.
Users can balance response speed and signal smoothness for each individual channel.
Filters effectively eliminate unwanted fluctuations in electrically noisy industrial environments.
Each channel supports independent scaling and offset configuration for flexible engineering units.
Electrical & Protection Features
The module draws power from the RX3i backplane: 450 mA at 3.3V and 600 mA at 5V.
It provides robust overvoltage protection up to ±60 VDC continuous.
Overcurrent protection is rated at ±28 mA continuous to safeguard internal circuitry.
Input protection and fault detection ensure safe operation in harsh industrial environments.
Stable power characteristics support continuous 24/7 operation.
Alarm & Diagnostic Functions
The
IC695ALG616 supports comprehensive channel alarms including Very Low, Low, High, and Very High.
Positive and negative rate-of-change alarms are also configurable for process safety.
Onboard error checking monitors channel health and reports faults to the host CPU.
Terminal block detection verifies proper installation and alerts on removal.
Module status is clearly indicated by OK, Field Status, and TB LEDs powered from the backplane.
Environmental & Mechanical Specifications
The module operates reliably from 32°F to 140°F (0°C to 60°C).
Storage temperature ranges from -40°F to 185°F (-40°C to 85°C).
Humidity tolerance is 5% to 95% non-condensing for industrial environments.
It meets international vibration and shock standards per IEC 60068 and JIS C0911/0912.
Its compact single-slot design delivers high channel density to save cabinet space.
Installation & Compatibility
The
IC695ALG616 installs on the RX3i universal backplane in a single slot.
Configuration requires Proficy Machine Edition programming software.
Compatible terminal blocks include box-style, spring-style, and extended versions.
Extended terminal blocks are recommended for shielded wiring and noise reduction.
Flash memory support allows firmware upgrades to extend functionality over time.
