Description
GE IC695ALG608 RX3i 8-Channel Analog Input Module
Product Overview
The GE IC695ALG608 is an 8-channel analog input module designed for GE’s RX3i series PLC systems, serving as a critical interface to convert continuous physical signals (such as temperature, pressure, and flow) into digital data for the PLC’s CPU. This conversion allows the PLC to monitor and adjust industrial processes in real time, making it essential for precision control in automation systems.
The GE IC695ALG608 supports multiple input ranges, including 4–20mA, 0–20mA, 0–10V, and ±10V, enabling it to connect to a wide range of sensors—from pressure transducers in manufacturing to level sensors in water treatment. Its 16-bit resolution ensures accurate signal conversion, with a total error of less than ±0.1% of full scale, critical for applications requiring tight process control.
As part of the RX3i ecosystem, the GE IC695ALG608 integrates seamlessly with components like the IC695CPU310 (CPU module), IC695PWR120 (power supply), and IC695CHS010 (10-slot rack). It operates in temperatures from 0°C to 60°C, resists dust, vibrations, and electrical noise, and features 250V AC isolation between channels and the backplane—ensuring reliable performance in harsh environments like chemical plants and automotive factories.
The module’s compact design fits easily into standard RX3i racks, while LED indicators for each channel show signal status and faults, simplifying troubleshooting. Whether used in small production lines or large industrial complexes, the GE IC695ALG608 ensures precise data collection, forming the foundation of efficient and responsive process control.

Main features and advantages
8-channel flexibility: The IC695ALG608 offers 8 channels in a compact design, allowing simultaneous monitoring of 8 different analog signals—such as pressure, temperature, and flow—in a single module. This reduces the number of modules needed in the rack, saving space in control cabinets.
Wide input compatibility: It supports 4–20mA, 0–20mA, 0–10V, and ±10V signals, matching most industrial sensors. This versatility eliminates the need for signal converters, simplifying wiring and reducing system costs. For example, it can connect directly to a 4–20mA pressure sensor and a ±10V level transmitter in the same system.
High accuracy: With 16-bit resolution and ±0.1% full-scale accuracy, the IC695ALG608 ensures precise signal conversion. This is critical for applications like pharmaceutical manufacturing, where even small deviations in temperature or pressure can affect product quality.
Industrial durability: The module operates in temperatures from 0°C to 60°C and resists dust, vibrations, and humidity. Its 250V AC isolation protects against electrical noise from motors or welders, ensuring reliable performance in noisy environments like steel mills.
Easy integration: The IC695ALG608 fits directly into RX3i racks like the IC695CHS010 with a simple plug-in design. It connects to the backplane for power and data, requiring no external wiring beyond sensor connections. This speeds up installation, even in existing systems.
Clear status monitoring: LED indicators on the front panel show the input status of each channel (active or fault). This allows technicians to quickly identify issues—such as a disconnected sensor or signal drift—without opening the control cabinet, reducing troubleshooting time.

Installation and maintenance
Pre-installation preparations: Power off the RX3i rack (e.g., IC695CHS010) before installing the IC695ALG608. Check that the rack has an open slot and that the power supply (like the IC695PWR120) provides stable 5V DC. Inspect the module for physical damage, ensuring connectors are clean. Use an anti-static wristband to handle the module to avoid static damage.
Maintenance suggestions: Inspect the IC695ALG608 monthly. Check for loose sensor connections and wipe dust from the surface with a dry cloth. Monitor LED indicators to ensure all channels show normal operation—flashing or off LEDs may indicate a sensor fault. Calibrate the module annually using GE’s calibration tools to maintain accuracy. Replace the IC695ALG608 if faults persist after troubleshooting, following proper shutdown procedures to avoid damaging other components.
