GE Emerson IC695ALG608 PACSystems RX3i Analog Input Module
Configured for high-precision sensor monitoring in PACSystems RX3i automation systems, the GE Emerson IC695ALG608 (IC695ALG608 Analog Input Module) provides direct physical/electrical execution. This module directly digitizes process variables by acquiring multi-range voltage and current signals through 8 single-ended or 4 differential channels. The hardware processes raw field loops via an onboard 24-bit analog-to-digital converter, converting real-world analog values into IEEE 32-bit floating point or 16-bit integer formats without requiring physical jumpers for channel scaling.

Backplane Bus Communication Velocity and Firmware Compatibility
The module exchanges high-speed digitized data across the PACSystems RX3i PCI-based backplane bus, transferring processed input states directly to controller memory during logic scans. Hardware operation requires CPU firmware version 3.0 or later along with PACSystems Machine Edition programming software version 5.0 SP3 or later. Onboard flash memory enables seamless firmware updates to maintain system compatibility. Deterministic data transmission ensures time-stamped analog values pass rapidly to the processor without adding latency to high-density I/O scans.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does the IC695ALG608 module support hot-swapping while the RX3i rack is powered?
A: No, this module does not support hot-swapping or insertion/removal under power. Removing or inserting the card while backplane power is energized risks causing physical damage to the backplane pins and generating spurious input diagnostic faults in the CPU fault table.
Q: How is open-circuit detection handled on current and voltage channels?
A: Open-circuit detection executes automatically within 1 second maximum for standard 4-20 mA current loops and selected voltage ranges. The onboard logic detects broken wire conditions or out-of-spec input values, immediately flagging channel alarms to the CPU programming environment.
Q: Are terminal blocks included with the module shipping assembly?
A: No, terminal blocks are not included with the module and must be ordered separately. Compatible options include box-style (IC694TBB032), extended box-style (IC694TBB132), spring-style (IC694TBS032), and extended spring-style (IC694TBS132) terminal connectors.
Field Installation Guidelines
Mount the module into any standard I/O slot of a PACSystems RX3i rack after ensuring backplane power is completely switched off. Wire field sensors to the matching IC694 terminal block using AWG #22 to #16 copper conductors. For high-noise industrial environments, select differential channel wiring over single-ended configurations to enhance common-mode noise rejection.
Route all low-level analog input wiring in dedicated, grounded conduits away from high-voltage motor circuits and variable frequency drives, maintaining a physical separation of at least 300 mm. Ground signal wire shielding at a single point on the system frame ground bus to prevent ground loop currents. When measuring 4-20 mA current loops, verify that external loop supplies do not exceed the +/-28 mA continuous overcurrent limit.
