الوصف
The GE IC695ALG808CA is an isolated analog output module for the PACSystems RX3i series of Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), now part of Emerson Automation. The “CA” suffix indicates that the module is conformal coated, which provides an extra layer of protection for the electronic components.
Key Features and Specifications
- Isolated Channels: The module has 4 isolated output channels. This isolation protects the system from electrical noise and ground loops, ensuring signal integrity in harsh industrial environments.
- Output Types: It is a universal output module, and each channel can be independently configured to output either:
- Current: 0-20mA or 4-20mA.
- Voltage: 0-10V or ±10V.
- High Resolution: The module has a 16-bit Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC), providing very precise and stable control signals.
- Conformal Coating: The “CA” suffix signifies that the module has a thin polymeric film applied to its electronic circuitry. This coating protects the components from:
- Moisture and humidity
- Dust and airborne contaminants
- Corrosion from chemicals or salt spray
- Software Configuration: All settings, including output type, range, and scaling, are configured using the Proficy Machine Edition software.
- Hot Swap Capability: The module supports hot insertion and extraction, allowing for replacement without powering down the system.
Applications
The IC695ALG808CA is a critical component in industrial automation and process control systems, especially in environments where standard electronics would be susceptible to damage.
- Harsh Environments: Ideal for use in chemical plants, paper mills, food and beverage facilities, or outdoor applications where the module may be exposed to corrosive gases, high humidity, or fine particulates.
- Process Control: Used for controlling final control elements like valves and motors in a variety of industries.
- Marine and Offshore: Suitable for applications on ships or offshore platforms due to its resistance to salt spray and humidity.
