Product Overview

The IC695ALG600-DD is a high-density universal analog input module for the GE PACSystems RX3i platform. This 100% brand new, original module provides 8 differential input channels supporting multiple signal types, including voltage, current, RTD, thermocouple, and resistance inputs. It is designed to simplify mixed-signal applications by consolidating multiple measurement types into a single-slot module, improving system flexibility and reducing hardware complexity.

Technical Specifications

Engineering Advantages

Universal Input Flexibility
Each channel supports multiple signal types (voltage, current, RTD, thermocouple), reducing the need for dedicated modules and simplifying system design.

High-Resolution Measurement
16-bit analog conversion ensures precise signal acquisition for accurate process control, PID tuning, and safety-critical monitoring.

Advanced Diagnostic Functions
Automatically detects open circuits, shorts, and signal out-of-range conditions, enabling fast fault identification and reducing downtime.

Cold Junction Compensation (CJC)
Supports thermocouple applications with CJC at the terminal block, ensuring accurate temperature measurement despite ambient temperature variations.

FAQs

Does this module require external power?
It is powered by the RX3i backplane. However, some field devices such as 4–20 mA transmitters may require external 24 VDC loop power.

What does the “-DD” suffix mean?
It indicates a specific hardware revision with updated internal components. It is fully backward compatible with earlier IC695ALG600 versions.

Which terminal blocks are compatible?
Typically IC695TBB032 or IC695TBS032. For thermocouple applications, IC695TBB132 is recommended for improved thermal stability.

Is channel configuration hardware-based?
No. All channel types and ranges are configured in Proficy Machine Edition (PME); no physical jumpers are required.
