GE IC695ALG608 Analog Input Module

Overview

The GE IC695ALG608 is an advanced analog input module designed for the PACSystem RX3i platform by GE Fanuc (now Emerson Automation). This module provides highly accurate data acquisition, offering up to eight (8) non-isolated, single-ended input channels or four (4) differential input channels. It supports a wide range of input signals, including +/-10 VDC, 0-10 VDC, +/-5 VDC, 0-5 VDC, 1-5 VDC, and 0-20 mA, among others. Equipped with a built-in 24-bit ADC, it converts analog signals to either floating point or integer data formats. This flexibility makes the IC695ALG608 ideal for high-precision industrial applications.
