IC695ALG808 GE Analog Output Module 8 Ch

IC695ALG808 GE Fanuc Isolated Analog Output Module

Product Introduction

The IC695ALG808 analog output module comes from the PACSystem RX3i platform. Emerson Automation now owns this product line, formerly manufactured by GE Intelligent Platforms. This module provides eight individually isolated output channels. Each channel is software configurable for current or voltage signals.

Specifically, the IC695ALG808 supports 0-20 mA and 4-20 mA current loops. It also handles ±10 VDC and 0-10 VDC voltage outputs. Engineers commonly use this module to control variable frequency drives, control valves, dampers, and louvers. Additionally, it works well for sending signals to panel meters and data loggers for local readout and recording.

Configuration & Features

The IC695ALG808 offers extensive software configurability. Users can set alarm parameters including very low, low, high, and very high alarms. Module fault reporting is also configurable. Additionally, you can enable or disable alarm latching and define custom high and low alarm limits.

Another useful feature is output bias trimming. This allows you to finely adjust the output signal to meet specific process requirements. The module also performs continuous self-checks. All configuration is done through Proficy Machine Edition software.

Installation Guidelines

Installing the IC695ALG808 requires attention to power and wiring. First, ensure the RX3i backplane is powered off. Insert the module into any slot on the universal backplane. Then connect an external 24 VDC power supply directly to the terminal block. This external power is mandatory for the module to generate output signals.

Next, select the appropriate terminal block type for your application. For instance, use spring-style blocks for vibration-prone environments. After wiring, configure each channel’s signal type and range through the software. Finally, power up the system and verify output accuracy using a calibrated meter.

Only qualified personnel should handle the IC695ALG808. Always follow the installation instructions in the product manual.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Does the IC695ALG808 require an external power supply?
Yes. It needs an external 24 VDC supply (19.2V to 30V range) connected directly to the terminal block.

2. Can I mix voltage and current outputs on the same IC695ALG808?
Yes. Each of the eight channels is individually software configurable for voltage or current.

3. What is the update rate for all eight channels?
The analog update rate is approximately 8 milliseconds for all eight channels.

4. Does the IC695ALG808 support HART communication?
No. HART protocol is not supported on this module.

5. Which terminal blocks work with the IC695ALG808?
It works with box-style (IC694TBB032), extended box-style (IC694TBB132), spring-style (IC694TBS032), and extended spring-style (IC694TBS132) terminal blocks.
