GE IC695ALG106 Isolated Analog module

الوصف

The GE IC695ALG106 is a 6-channel, isolated analog input module for the PACSystems RX3i series of Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs). This module is designed for applications where robust signal integrity and protection from electrical noise are critical.

Key Features and Specifications

• Isolated Channels: A primary feature of this module is its channel-to-channel and channel-to-backplane isolation. This isolation protects the system from ground loops and voltage surges, ensuring more reliable and accurate measurements in electrically noisy industrial environments.
• Universal Input: Each of the six channels can be individually configured to accept a variety of voltage and current signals, including:
  • Voltage: ±10V, 0-10V, ±5V, 0-5V, and 1-5V
  • Current: 0-20mA, 4-20mA, and ±20mA
• High Resolution: The module has a 16-bit Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC), providing high-precision readings.
• Software Configurable: All settings and features, such as input ranges, filtering options, and data format (16-bit integer or 32-bit floating-point), are configured using the Proficy Machine Edition software. This eliminates the need for physical jumpers on the module.
• Advanced Diagnostics: The module includes on-board diagnostics for error-checking, open-circuit detection for voltage and 4-20mA inputs, and the ability to report module faults and channel alarms.
• Hot Swap Capability: The IC695ALG106 supports hot insertion and extraction, allowing it to be replaced without powering down the entire system, thus minimizing downtime.

Applications

The IC695ALG106 is commonly used in industrial automation and process control applications where a high degree of electrical isolation and signal accuracy is required. It is ideal for:

• Process Control: Monitoring and controlling parameters like temperature, pressure, and flow in chemical plants, power generation facilities, and refineries.
• Critical Measurements: Used for applications where the integrity and accuracy of the analog signal are paramount, and protection from noise is a concern.
• Industrial Environments: Its isolation capability makes it suitable for use in environments with large motors, variable frequency drives (VFDs), or other sources of electromagnetic interference (EMI).
