الوصف
The GE IC695ALG608 is a non-isolated analog input module for the PACSystems RX3i series of Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), formerly a GE Fanuc product and now part of Emerson Automation.
This module is designed for applications requiring high-precision analog signal acquisition.
Key Features and Specifications
- High-Resolution Inputs: The IC695ALG608 features a 24-bit Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC), providing significantly higher accuracy and precision compared to many other analog modules. This makes it suitable for demanding applications where precise measurements are critical.
- Input Channels: It offers flexible channel configuration:
- 8 single-ended input channels
- 4 differential input channels
- The channels are not isolated from each other or the backplane.
- Supported Input Ranges: The module is versatile and can be configured to accept a variety of voltage and current signals:
- Voltage: ±10V, 0-10V, ±5V, 0-5V, 1-5V
- Current: 0-20mA, 4-20mA, ±20mA
- Advanced Features:
- Software Configurable: All settings, including input ranges and data formats, are configured using Proficy Machine Edition software.
- On-board Diagnostics: The module provides error checking, open-circuit detection, and can report module faults and channel alarms.
- Data Format: The converted data can be configured as either a 16-bit integer or a 32-bit floating-point number.
- Backplane Compatibility: The IC695ALG608 must be installed in a PACSystems RX3i Universal Backplane. It requires a CPU with firmware version 3.0 or later and is compatible with various terminal blocks (e.g., IC694TBB032, IC694TBS032).
Applications
The IC695ALG608 is a key component in industrial automation and process control systems that require precise analog measurements. It is commonly used in:
- High-Precision Data Acquisition: For measuring sensor data from pressure, temperature, flow, and level sensors in critical applications.
- Process Control: In chemical, power generation, and other process industries where accurate readings are essential for maintaining stable and safe operations.
- Test and Measurement: For applications that require high-resolution data for quality control or research.
