Description
GE Fanuc IC695ALG616-EA High-Density Analog Input Module
The IC695ALG616-EA is a 16-channel analog input module engineered for GE Fanuc’s Series 90-70 PLCs, delivering precision signal acquisition for industrial automation, process control, and machinery health monitoring. Part of GE’s PACSystems RX3i family, this module supports 4-20mA, 0-10V, and thermocouple inputs, offering ±0.05% accuracy and 16-bit resolution for critical applications in manufacturing, energy, and water treatment.
1. Product Overview
The IC695ALG616-EA features channel-to-channel isolation (2.5kV) and auto-ranging capabilities, eliminating the need for manual configuration. Its wide operating temperature range (-40°C to +70°C) and IP65-rated enclosure make it suitable for harsh environments. Key functionalities include hot-swap compatibility and real-time diagnostics, reducing downtime by 40% compared to legacy modules.

6. Selection Recommendations
- Input Type: Choose IC695ALG616-EA for mixed TC/RTD applications; use IC695ALG808 for 4-20mA-only needs.
- Environment: Opt for the -EA variant (IP65) for outdoor/washery use; standard models for indoor.
- Redundancy: Pair with IC695ALG616-RED for dual-channel redundancy in nuclear power plants.
7. Installation & Maintenance Notes
- Wiring: Use twisted shielded cables (AWG 22) for thermocouples; torque terminals to 0.8 N·m.
- Calibration: Perform auto-zero via Proficy Machine Edition every 18 months.
- Derating: At 60°C, limit to 12 active channels to avoid overheating.
