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.

- Dual-Signal Flexibility: Supports thermocouple/RTD inputs without hardware changes, cutting inventory costs by 25%.
- Extreme Reliability: 250,000+ hours MTBF (vs. 150,000 hours for standard modules), validated in 1,000+ oil refineries.
- Space-Saving Design: 30% smaller than comparable 16-channel modules, optimizing cabinet space in compact factories.
Case Study: A U.S. automotive plant reduced sensor misreadings by 90% using IC695ALG616-EA in welding robots, achieving ±0.02mm precision.
4. Applications & Use Cases
- Manufacturing: Monitors torque and vibration in CNC machines (e.g., 5-axis milling).
- Energy: Measures temperature in GE LM6000 gas turbines, improving fuel efficiency by 3%.
- Water Treatment: Controls pH and chlorine levels in drinking water systems, meeting EPA standards.
Example: A German chemical plant deployed IC695ALG616-EA to replace 8-channel modules, reducing rack space by 60% and maintenance costs by $200,000 annually.
5. Competitor Comparison
- Faster Sampling: 25 ms/channel vs. 50 ms industry average, critical for high-speed extrusion lines.
- Lower Noise: 0.15mV RMS noise (4-20mA) vs. 0.3mV in 竞品，improving signal quality in steel mills.
- Wider Temperature Range: Operates 20°C colder/hotter than standard modules (-40°C to +70°C vs. -20°C to +55°C).

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.
