The IC695ALG616 is a high-density, non-isolated analog input module designed for the PACSystems RX3i Programmable Automation Controller (PAC) platform. This module provides versatile signal processing capabilities, supporting up to 16 single-ended or 8 differential input channels. It is engineered for industrial environments requiring precise analog-to-digital conversion with 24-bit resolution.

Features

• 16 single-ended or 8 differential analog input channels
• Supports multiple current ranges: 0-20 mA, 4-20 mA, and +/-20 mA
• Supports multiple voltage ranges: +/-10V, 0-10V, +/-5V, 0-5V, and 1-5V
• High-precision 24-bit ADC conversion
• Configurable input filters (8Hz, 12Hz, 16Hz, 40Hz, 200Hz, 500Hz) to minimize signal noise
• Software-configurable via Proficy Machine Edition (PME); no physical jumpers or DIP switches required
• Integrated autocalibration at start-up
• Built-in protection against open circuits, overvoltage, and overcurrent

Applications

This module is suitable for high-density analog data acquisition in process control, factory automation, and machine monitoring systems using the RX3i architecture. It is commonly used for interfacing with sensors, transmitters, and other field devices requiring current or voltage signal monitoring.

Technical Specifications

Installation Guidelines

• Ensure the RX3i backplane is powered down before inserting or removing the module.
• The module must be installed into an RX3i Universal Backplane slot.
• Use shielded twisted-pair cabling for analog signals to reduce EMI interference.
• Maintain proper grounding practices for the backplane and signal shields to ensure signal integrity.
• Avoid routing signal cables near high-voltage power lines or high-frequency switching equipment.
• Handle the module using ESD-safe practices to prevent damage to internal circuitry.

FAQ

Does the IC695ALG616 require physical configuration switches?

No, the module is configured entirely through the Proficy Machine Edition (PME) software. There are no DIP switches or jumpers to set on the hardware.

What happens if an input signal exceeds the specified range?

The module includes integrated overvoltage and overcurrent protection to help safeguard the circuitry against signal fluctuations and faults.

Can this module be used for both current and voltage inputs?

Yes, each channel is configurable for either current or voltage signal types, providing flexibility for mixed-signal applications.
