Description
Product Overview
The GE IC695ALG608 is a versatile 8-channel single-ended/4-channel differential analog input module designed for industrial automation systems requiring precise measurement of voltage and current signals. As part of GE’s PACSystems RX3i platform, this module integrates seamlessly with PLCs and distributed control systems (DCS) to enable real-time monitoring of critical parameters in applications such as process control, manufacturing, and energy production.
Featuring 24-bit Σ-Δ ADC technology, the IC695ALG608 supports a wide range of input types, including 0-20mA, 4-20mA, ±20mA current loops, and ±10V, 0-10V, ±5V, 0-5V, 1-5V voltage signals. Its configurable notch filter (8–500Hz) reduces noise interference, ensuring stable readings even in electrically noisy environments. The module’s 250V AC continuous isolation between terminals and backplane enhances safety and reliability in high-voltage industrial settings.
With hot-swappable capability and a rugged design (operating temperature: -40°C to +85°C), the IC695ALG608 minimizes downtime during maintenance while delivering consistent performance in extreme conditions. Its software-configurable parameters (via GE’s Proficy Machine Edition) allow engineers to optimize sampling rates, signal conditioning, and diagnostic thresholds for specific applications.

Key Features and Advantages
Multi-Signal Flexibility: The IC695ALG608 eliminates the need for external signal conditioners by directly accepting voltage and current inputs, reducing hardware complexity and installation costs. Its 8 single-ended/4 differential channels support mixed-signal configurations for multi-parameter monitoring.
Enhanced Noise Immunity: The 250V AC isolation and configurable notch filter suppress electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio-frequency interference (RFI), ensuring sub-millivolt precision in high-noise environments like power plants or chemical facilities.
Hot-Swap Capability: Engineers can replace the module without powering down the system, minimizing downtime during component upgrades or maintenance.
Advanced Diagnostics: Built-in LED indicators and remote monitoring tools provide real-time feedback on channel health, including open-circuit detection, overvoltage protection, and temperature monitoring. This proactive approach extends component lifespan and reduces unplanned outages.
HART Communication Support: Optional HART protocol integration (version 5.0+) enables bidirectional communication with smart sensors, allowing remote configuration and diagnostics without physical access to field devices.
Application Areas
The IC695ALG608 excels in diverse industrial scenarios, including:
- Process Control: Monitoring pressure, flow, and level in chemical reactors or water treatment plants using 4-20mA transmitters.
- Manufacturing: Optimizing machine performance by analyzing voltage signals from proximity sensors or load cells.
- HVAC Systems: Adjusting airflow and energy consumption based on temperature and humidity readings from voltage-based sensors.
- Energy Production: Ensuring grid stability by measuring current and voltage in power distribution systems.
Its compatibility with legacy systems and support for future-proof technologies (e.g., Industry 4.0 protocols) make it ideal for retrofitting existing infrastructure or building scalable automation systems.
