Description

Product Overview

The GE IC695ALG708 is a high-performance non-isolated analog output module designed for GE Fanuc PACSystems RX3i Programmable Automation Controllers (PACs). Engineered for industrial automation, this module provides 8 configurable channels for precise control of voltage or current signals, making it ideal for process control, motor drives, and sensor actuation in demanding environments. Each channel supports 0–20 mA, 4–20 mA, ±10 V DC, or 0–10 V DC outputs, with a resolution of 15.6–15.9 bits depending on the signal type111.

Built for flexibility, the IC695ALG708 allows independent channel configuration for voltage or current modes, enabling seamless integration with PLCs, distributed control systems (DCS), and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) platforms. Its 2550 V DC isolation between field outputs and backplane ensures robust performance in high-noise industrial settings, while overvoltage protection (±30 V DC for current outputs) safeguards against transient spikes1116. The module’s compact design (12.7 cm × 5.1 cm × 12.7 cm) and tool-free installation simplify integration into space-constrained control panels, supporting Series 90-70 and RX3i baseplates with firmware ≥3.5116.

With real-time diagnostics and alarm thresholds for each channel, the IC695ALG708 enhances system reliability by detecting faults (e.g., open circuits, overcurrent) and maintaining last-state outputs or default values during failures. Its compatibility with GE Proficy Machine Edition software enables remote configuration and calibration, reducing downtime and optimizing operational efficiency117.

Main Features and Advantages

Multi-Signal Flexibility: The IC695ALG708 supports voltage and current outputs across a wide range of industrial standards, eliminating the need for external signal converters. Each channel can be individually configured for 0–20 mA, 4–20 mA, ±10 V DC, or 0–10 V DC, enabling precise control of valves, actuators, and analog devices111.

High-Precision Performance: With 15.6–15.9-bit resolution and ±0.1% accuracy, the module ensures stable and reliable output signals for critical applications like PID control loops and motor speed regulation. Factory-calibrated offsets (e.g., 0.5 μA for 4–20 mA) minimize setup time and guarantee consistent performance across channels1117.

Industrial-Grade Reliability: The 2550 V DC isolation and overvoltage protection shield against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and voltage surges, while alarm thresholds (low/high limits) and fault reporting enable proactive maintenance. The module retains output states during power outages, ensuring continuity in process control116.

User-Friendly Integration: Tool-free installation and color-coded terminal blocks simplify wiring, while Proficy Machine Edition compatibility allows remote diagnostics and firmware updates. The module’s compact design fits seamlessly into RX3i systems, supporting mixed I/O configurations without compromising performance116.

Cost-Effective Scalability: By consolidating multiple signal types into a single module, the IC695ALG708 reduces component count and wiring complexity. Its compatibility with Series 90-70 and RX3i infrastructure ensures seamless integration with existing control systems, making it ideal for retrofitting legacy applications117.

Application Areas

Process Control: Powers PID controllers and valve actuators in chemical and pharmaceutical plants, ensuring precise regulation of flow, pressure, and temperature. The module’s alarm thresholds and output clamping features enhance safety in batch processing systems116.

Manufacturing Automation: Controls variable frequency drives (VFDs) and servo motors in automotive assembly lines, optimizing speed and torque for robotic arms and conveyor systems. The 8-channel design supports multi-axis motion control with minimal latency1117.

Energy Management: Drives inverters and grid-tie systems in renewable energy plants, converting analog signals from solar inverters or wind turbines into actionable commands for power distribution. The module’s wide voltage tolerance accommodates unstable power sources in remote locations1617.

HVAC Systems: Regulates damper actuators and chiller units in commercial buildings, maintaining optimal environmental conditions. The ±10 V DC output enables seamless integration with building automation systems (BAS)1117.

Oil and Gas: Controls pump speed and wellhead pressure in upstream and downstream operations, ensuring compliance with safety standards. The module’s non-isolated design pairs with certified I/O modules for hazardous environments116.

Installation and Maintenance

Installation Steps:

Hardware Setup: Install the IC695ALG708 in an RX3i baseplate slot and secure it with the module clamp. Connect 24 V DC external power to the terminal block and route output signals to field devices using compatible cables (e.g., IC694CBL327)116.
Software Configuration: Use GE Proficy Machine Edition to assign channel parameters (signal type, range, alarm limits) and verify module communication with the CPU. Ensure the CPU firmware is ≥3.5 for full compatibility116.
Testing: Power on the system and simulate output signals to validate voltage/current levels. Check LED indicators for power (PWR) and fault (FLT) status116.

Maintenance Recommendations:

Routine Checks: Monthly inspections include visual verification of LEDs, cleaning dust, and tightening terminals to 0.3–0.5 N·m torque.
Advanced Diagnostics: Annually, use Proficy software to review error logs and recalibrate channels if necessary. Replace faulty terminal blocks or cables to maintain signal integrity117.
Firmware Updates: Periodically update the module firmware to address security patches and improve compatibility with newer CPU models116.
