GE PACSystems RX3i IC695ALG808 – 8‑Channel Analog Input Module for Precise Process Signals

The IC695ALG808 slots into a PACSystems RX3i rack to capture clean, stable analog data from the field. In most cases it’s used for 4–20 mA or voltage signals coming from transmitters, drives, or instruments where accuracy and channel flexibility matter. From my experience, it’s the kind of card plants choose when they want dependable measurements without babysitting—think level and flow in water treatment, pressure/temperature loops in chemical, or speed/torque feedback in OEM skids.

Key Features

• 8 analog channels – A practical density for medium-sized skids or process cells without consuming multiple slots.
• Current and voltage support – Typically supports common ranges such as 4–20 mA and ±10 V, so you can mix transmitter outputs and drive/position feedback on the same module.
• Per‑channel configuration – You might notice that each channel can be set independently, which helps when instruments aren’t all the same type.
• Stable, low‑noise acquisition – Designed for industrial cabinets; the RX3i backplane and grounding scheme usually keep noise at bay.
• Diagnostics and alarming – Open‑circuit detection for current loops and over/under‑range checks make troubleshooting faster on start‑up.
• Seamless RX3i integration – Shows up cleanly in PAC Machine Edition; scaling to engineering units is straightforward.
• Industrial temperature rating – Built for typical plant environments, not just lab benches.

Installation & Maintenance

• Cabinet & environment – Use a grounded metal enclosure with DIN rail, adequate ventilation, and clearance around the RX3i rack. Maintain typical 0–60 °C operating conditions and avoid high‑EMI sources.
• Wiring – Use shielded twisted pair for analog loops; land shields at a single point ground. Keep analog wiring segregated from high‑voltage and VFD outputs. Observe channel commons and any isolation guidance in the manual.
• Commissioning – Configure ranges per channel in PAC Machine Edition, then perform a quick loop check with a calibrator or simulator. You might notice fault LEDs/diagnostics simplify locating open loops.
• Routine maintenance – Periodically verify key loops (e.g., quarterly or during scheduled shutdowns). Dust the module and rack to keep airflow paths clear. Keep firmware and project backups current; update the CPU/IO firmware only when release notes justify it.
• Spare strategy – In many cases, plants keep one spare IC695ALG808 on hand; change‑out is straightforward since channel configs are in the project, not the card.
