Description
Product Overview
The GE IC695ALG616CA is a 16-channel analog input module designed for GE’s PACSystems RX3i industrial automation platform, offering high-precision signal acquisition in demanding environments such as power plants, manufacturing lines, and water treatment facilities. As part of Emerson Automation’s portfolio (formerly GE Intelligent Platforms), this module supports versatile input types including voltage (±10V, 0–10V), current (4–20mA, 0–20mA), thermocouples, and RTDs (resistance temperature detectors) with 16-bit resolution and ±0.1% accuracy. Engineered for reliability, the IC695ALG616CA features channel-to-channel isolation (1500V AC), IP67 protection (with cover), and an extended operating temperature range (-20°C to +60°C), ensuring stable performance in electrically noisy or corrosive conditions. Its compatibility with Profinet, EtherCAT, and DeviceNet protocols enables seamless integration into SCADA/DCS networks, while hot-swappable design minimizes system downtime during maintenance .

Key Features and Advantages
Multi-Signal Flexibility
Each of the 16 channels independently configures for voltage, current, RTD, or thermocouple inputs, eliminating external signal conditioners and reducing system complexity . Automatic cold-junction compensation (for thermocouples) and six software-configurable filters (8 Hz–1000 Hz) suppress noise in environments with VFDs or heavy machinery.
Industrial Robustness
Dual isolation barriers (1500V AC) prevent ground loops and electromagnetic interference, critical in power plants or oil refineries . The module’s extended temperature tolerance (-20°C to +60°C) and IP67-rated housing ensure reliability in offshore platforms or dusty manufacturing floors.
Operational Efficiency
With a 100 Hz sampling rate per channel, the module captures transient events like pump surges or motor startups. Integrated diagnostics via GE Proficy software detect open-circuit, short-circuit, and overrange faults, reducing troubleshooting time by 30% .
Application Areas
- Energy Management: Monitors turbine vibrations via ±5V accelerometer inputs in power plants, enabling predictive maintenance to avoid unplanned shutdowns .
- Water Treatment: Measures pH/conductivity (0–10V signals) in municipal plants, with IP67 protection against corrosive splash zones .
- Manufacturing: Tracks injection molding pressure profiles using 4–20mA signals, optimizing production cycle times by 15% in automotive lines .
- Chemical Processing: Acquires reactor temperature data from RTDs (converted to 4–20mA), leveraging SIL 2 safety certification for hazardous areas .

Installation and Maintenance
Installation Preparation: Mount horizontally in an RX3i universal backplate (e.g., IC695CHS012) to ensure optimal airflow. Use shielded twisted-pair cables grounded at one end; separate high-voltage wiring (>120V) by ≥15cm to prevent noise interference. Configure channels via Proficy Machine Edition software .
Maintenance Recommendations: Calibrate annually with traceable voltage/current sources. Clean terminals quarterly using isopropyl alcohol to prevent oxidation-induced drift. Replace if “Module Fault” LED persists or after 10 years of service .
