Description
Product Overview
The GE IC695ALG608CA is an 8-channel analog input module designed for GE’s PACSystems RX3i platform, a vital part of industrial automation systems. This module specializes in converting continuous analog signals from field devices—such as temperature sensors, pressure transmitters, and level detectors—into digital data that programmable logic controllers (PLCs) can process. Its core function is to bridge the gap between physical process variables and digital control systems, enabling precise monitoring and adjustment of industrial processes.
The GE IC695ALG608CA supports multiple input types, including voltage (0–10V DC) and current (4–20mA), making it adaptable to a wide range of sensors. Each of its 8 channels is isolated, preventing signal interference between channels and ensuring accurate data capture even in electrically noisy environments. This isolation is critical in settings like factories with heavy machinery or power plants, where electrical noise can distort signals.
In automation systems, the GE IC695ALG608CA plays a key role in maintaining process stability. It delivers high-resolution signal conversion, allowing the PLC to make precise decisions based on real-time data. Its compatibility with the RX3i platform ensures seamless integration with other GE modules, simplifying system expansion or upgrades. By reliably translating analog signals into actionable digital data, it helps reduce process errors, minimize downtime, and improve overall operational efficiency across various industries.

This precision is critical in applications like pharmaceutical manufacturing, where even small temperature or pressure variations can affect product quality.
Flexible input support: It handles voltage, current, and common thermocouple types (J, K, T, E), eliminating the need for separate signal converters. This flexibility allows it to connect to diverse sensors, from pressure transducers in pipelines to temperature probes in ovens, reducing system complexity and costs.
Enhanced isolation: Each channel is isolated from others and the backplane by 500V AC, far more than basic modules. This blocks electrical noise from heavy machinery or power surges, ensuring stable signal conversion in harsh environments like steel mills or mining operations.
Rugged design: The GE IC695ALG608CA operates reliably in temperatures from 0°C to 60°C and resists vibration and dust. Its durable plastic casing and sealed connectors protect internal components, making it suitable for use in unconditioned industrial spaces or outdoor installations.
Easy integration: It fits seamlessly into the PACSystems RX3i rack, with plug-and-play compatibility that reduces installation time. GE’s Proficy Machine Edition software simplifies configuration, allowing technicians to set input types and scaling without specialized training.

Installation and maintenance
Pre-installation preparations: Power off the RX3i rack and ensure the backplane is properly grounded before installing the GE IC695ALG608CA. Check that the system’s power supply provides stable 5V DC. Clean the installation slot to remove dust or debris, which could interfere with connections. Align the module with the rack’s guides and push firmly until it locks into place. Use the GE IC695TBB032 terminal block to connect sensors, ensuring wires are stripped to 0.3 inches (7.6 mm) for secure attachment. Verify sensor compatibility—e.g., thermocouples require proper polarity—to avoid signal errors.
