The IC695ALG708 is a PACSystem RX3i Programmable Automation Controller (PAC) non-isolated analogue input module, formerly manufactured by GE Intelligent Platforms (GE IP) and now part of Emerson Automation. The module features eight (8) output channels that can be configured for 0 to 20 mA and 4 to 20 mA current signals and ±10V and 0 to 10V voltage signals. The module is mounted on the RX3i general purpose backplane and has 15.6 – 15.9 bit ADC conversion resolution.

The IC695ALG708 is an eight (3) channel analogue output module for the PACsystem RX8i programmable automation controller (PAC) family. It is a single-slot module whose channels can be configured to provide output current signals (e.g., 0-20 mA and 4-20 mA) and voltage signals (e.g., +/- 10 VDC and 0-10 VDC).

The IC695ALG708 is now part of Emerson Automation, as the former manufacturer, GE Intelligent Platforms (GE IP), has been acquired by the former. The module still provides analogue outputs with a resolution range of 14.9-15.9 bits, depending on the configured output signal. Each channel of the module can be configured with individual alarm settings such as very low, very low, very high and very high alarms. Each output can also be clamped to a specific high and low point, which is useful when linking output channels to proportional + integral + differential (PID) controller outputs. In addition, output biases can be added to fine-tune or manually adjust the outputs to the user’s desired level.

The IC695ALG708 has a built-in module fault reporting feature and retains the last state or output default settings. For CPU compatibility, any RX3i CPU can be used with this analogue output module, however, the CPU must have firmware version 3.5 or later and must be configured using Machine Edition version 5.0 SP3 Logic Developer must be used to develop the user program.

The IC695ALG708 requires an external 24 VDC power supply to operate. The power supply must be connected directly to the module terminals. Compatible terminals for use with this module are box (IC694TBB032), expansion box (IC694TBB132), spring-loaded (IC694TBS032), or expansion spring-loaded (IC694TBS132) terminals.
