The module’s parameters are configured using Proficy Machine Edition (PME) programming software. No jumpers or DIP switches are required to indicate the operation of the module. In addition, the module is capable of performing automatic calibration during each startup. Embedded module protections include open-circuit detection, overvoltage and overcurrent protection.

In addition to these protection settings, each channel can be individually configured with alarm settings, specifically very low, low, high and very high alarms. Positive and negative rates of change can also be included in the module’s alarm functions, and module faults can be configured to be reported to the host CPU.

The GE Fanuc RX3i PacSystems IC695ALG616 Non-Isolated Differential Analogue Input Module is available in current ranges of -20 to 20 mA, 4 to 20 mA, or 0 to 20 mA, and in voltage ranges of 5 volts DC, 0 to 5 volts DC, 1 to 5 volts DC, 0 to 10 volts DC, or -10 to 10 volts DC. The module has a Module OK LED to indicate the operational status of the unit.

The Field Status LED indicates if there is a fault or channel error at at least one terminal, and the Terminal or TB LEDs indicate the presence of the system’s terminals.All LEDs on the IC695ALG616 Non-Isolated Differential Analogue Input Module draw their power from the backplane power bus.The GE Fanuc IC695ALG616 Analogue Input Module has rate-of-change alarms, Onboard Error Verification, Channel Fault Alarm, Fault Reporting, Auto Calibration, Flash Slot, Configurable Offset and Scaling per Channel, and Detection of Terminal Insertion or Removal.
