GE IC694ALG223 PACSystems RX3i Analog Input Module
Product Overview
The GE IC694ALG223 is a high-performance analog input module designed for GE’s PACSystems RX3i programmable automation controllers, serving as a critical component in industrial automation systems across manufacturing, energy, and chemical sectors. As part of the IC694 Series, this module specializes in converting continuous physical signals (such as pressure, temperature, and flow) from field sensors into digital data that the RX3i controller can process, enabling precise real-time monitoring and control.
Featuring 16 single-ended analog input channels, the GE IC694ALG223 supports configurable current ranges: 0–20 mA, 4–20 mA (standard), and 4–20 mA (enhanced), making it compatible with a wide range of industrial sensors. Its 12-bit resolution and ±0.25% full-scale accuracy (at 25°C) ensure precise signal conversion, critical for applications like turbine speed regulation or chemical reactor temperature control. The module’s photoelectric isolation (250 V AC continuous, 1500 V AC for 1 minute) protects the RX3i controller from voltage spikes and electromagnetic interference (EMI), ensuring signal integrity in electrically noisy environments.
In automation systems, the IC694ALG223 integrates seamlessly with the RX3i backplane, communicating via the controller’s proprietary bus to minimize latency. Its compact design (fitting within standard RX3i racks) maximizes space efficiency, while onboard diagnostics alert operators to sensor faults or wiring issues. By combining high channel density, flexibility, and reliability, the GE IC694ALG223 enhances system performance, reduces wiring complexity, and simplifies scalability in industrial settings.

Main Features and Advantages
High measurement accuracy:
The IC694ALG223 delivers ±0.25% full-scale accuracy at 25°C, ensuring precise conversion of sensor signals. This level of precision is critical for applications like chemical reactor temperature control, where even small deviations can affect product quality or safety. Over its operating temperature range (0°C to 60°C), accuracy remains within ±0.5%, maintaining reliability in fluctuating industrial environments.

Flexible input configurations:
With support for 0–20 mA and 4–20 mA current ranges, the module adapts to diverse sensors—from pressure transducers in water treatment plants to flow meters in oil pipelines. The enhanced 4–20 mA mode provides additional noise immunity, making it suitable for long cable runs (up to 100 meters) where signal degradation is a risk.

Robust isolation protection:
Photoelectric isolation (250 V AC continuous, 1500 V AC for 1 minute) safeguards the RX3i controller from ground loops and voltage spikes, common in facilities with heavy machinery or variable frequency drives. This isolation prevents signal corruption, reducing the risk of erroneous control actions.

High channel density:
16 single-ended channels in a compact form factor maximize rack space efficiency, ideal for large-scale systems requiring multiple sensor inputs—such as automotive assembly lines monitoring 16 robotic arm pressure sensors simultaneously. This density reduces the number of modules needed, lowering overall system costs.
