Description
Product Overview
The GE IC695ALG312 is an 8-channel analog input module designed for GE’s PACSystems RX3i platform, a key component in industrial automation systems. This module converts continuous analog signals from field devices such as temperature sensors, pressure transducers, and flow meters into digital data that the PLC can process. Its role is critical in systems where precise measurement of physical variables is necessary to control processes effectively.
The GE IC695ALG312 supports multiple input types, including voltage (0-10V DC) and current (4-20mA), making it versatile for different sensor types. Each of its 8 channels operates independently, allowing it to handle diverse signals simultaneously. This flexibility makes it suitable for complex setups where various parameters need monitoring, such as in chemical processing or power generation plants.
In automation systems, the GE IC695ALG312 acts as a bridge between analog sensors and the digital control system. It ensures accurate signal conversion with high resolution, enabling the PLC to make precise decisions based on real-time data. Its compatibility with the RX3i platform means it integrates smoothly with other GE modules, simplifying system expansion or upgrades. By reliably capturing analog data, it helps maintain process stability, reduces errors, and improves overall operational efficiency.

Installation and maintenance
Pre-installation preparations: Before installing the GE IC695ALG312, power off the RX3i rack and ensure the backplane is properly grounded. Check that the system’s power supply can deliver 5V DC to the module. Clean the installation slot to remove dust or debris that could block connections. Align the module with the rack’s guides and push it firmly until it locks into place. Use the GE IC695TBB032 terminal block to connect field sensors, ensuring wires are stripped to the correct length (0.3 inches) for secure connections.
