Description

The IC695ALG708 is an 8-channel, non-isolated analog output module designed for the GE PACSystems RX3i Programmable Automation Controller (PAC) platform. This module provides high-precision signal conversion and is configurable for both voltage and current output ranges, making it suitable for a wide variety of industrial control applications, including process control loops and actuator positioning.

Features

• 8 independent output channels, software-configurable.
• Supports current ranges: 0 to 20 mA and 4 to 20 mA.
• Supports voltage ranges: +/- 10 VDC and 0 to 10 VDC.
• High resolution: 15.6 to 15.9-bit conversion.
• Individual channel alarm settings (very low, low, high, very high).
• Output clamping and bias adjustment for PID loop fine-tuning.
• Built-in module fault reporting and configurable hold-last-state or default-state behavior.
• Field-to-backplane isolation of 2550 VDC.

Applications

This module is primarily used in the PACSystems RX3i series for demanding industrial automation environments, such as manufacturing, energy management, and process control systems. It is ideal for driving analog actuators, valves, and variable frequency drives (VFDs) where precise control and signal monitoring are required.

Technical Specifications

Installation Guidelines

• Ensure the RX3i CPU is running firmware version 3.5 or later.
• Configure the module using Machine Edition Version 5.0 SP3 or higher.
• Requires an external 24 VDC power supply connected directly to the module terminal block.
• Compatible terminal blocks: IC694TBB032, IC694TBB132, IC694TBS032, or IC694TBS132.
• Install in a NEMA/UL Type 1 or equivalent enclosure to maintain a pollution degree 2 environment.
• Always power down the backplane before inserting or removing the module to prevent electrical damage.
• Adhere to thermal derating curves provided by the manufacturer when operating in high-temperature environments.
