Product Introduction & Supply Chain Strategy

The Emerson PACSystems RX3i IC695ALG616 is a high-density 16-channel analog input module engineered for demanding industrial control systems. Communicating via the high-speed RX3i PCI backplane bus, it processes current and voltage inputs with 16-bit resolution. Each channel can be configured independently for signal range, filtering, and alarm thresholds.

Securing the IC693ALG616 / IC695ALG616 card as New Surplus provides vital supply chain insurance for operations running PACSystems RX3i platforms. Sourcing factory-fresh, uninstalled original inventory eliminates risks of analog drift, A/D converter degradation, and input terminal burnout often found in pulled or refurbished cards—ensuring precise instrumentation measurement without requiring system-wide control upgrades.

 

Installation & Configuration Guide

Stage 1: Pre-Installation (Prep & Safety)

  1. Execute Lock-Out/Tag-Out (LOTO) procedures on the main RX3i rack power supply and external field transmitter loop power supplies.
  2. Put on an anti-static grounded wrist strap before handling the card to protect sensitive internal analog-to-digital converters from ESD damage.
  3. Verify that field wiring corresponds correctly to single-ended or differential operation prior to mounting the terminal assembly.

Stage 2: Removal

  1. De-energize the RX3i universal baseplate rack.
  2. Unlatch and remove the 36-pin terminal block (IC695TBN008/TBS008) or high-density connector from the module faceplate.
  3. Squeeze the module release levers at the top and bottom of the housing and pull the module straight forward out of the RX3i baseplate slot.

Stage 3: Installation (Seat & Wire)

  1. Align the rear card edge of the replacement IC695ALG616 with the guide rails of any available universal I/O slot in the PACSystems RX3i baseplate.
  2. Push firmly on the top and bottom face of the module until the locking tabs click into place.
  3. Snap the pre-wired 36-pin terminal block firmly onto the module front connector until both top and bottom latches lock.

Stage 4: Power-On & Testing

  1. Reapply power to the RX3i baseplate rack and analog field loops.
  2. Check that the “MODULE OK” LED turns solid green and “FIELD STATUS” shows normal operation.
  3. Use PACSystems Machine Edition (PME) hardware configuration tools to verify live analog engineering values and validate %AI memory register updates.

Firmware/Software Versions & Upgrade Notes

  • Software Configuration: Configured using PACSystems Machine Edition (PME). Hardware configuration allows per-channel setting of input ranges, digital filter constants (50Hz, 60Hz, or user-defined rejection), and engineering unit scaling.
  • Internal Current Loop Resistors: The module includes built-in 250 Ω precision sense resistors. For 4–20 mA current loop operation, jumper the corresponding input terminals according to the module wiring diagram—no external resistors are required.
  • Slot Compatibility: Mounts in any Universal Baseplate slot of an RX3i system (IC695CHS007, IC695CHS012, or IC695CHS016). Note: Cannot be used in Expansion Baseplates that only support legacy RX3i/Series 90-30 serial backplane modules.

 

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Is this IC695ALG616 analog input module brand new or pulled from a used rack?

This product is a Brand New Surplus unit. It is not used, not pulled from a decommissioned panel, and not refurbished. All modules undergo complete quality testing to verify original OEM specifications.

What is the main difference between single-ended and differential wiring on the IC695ALG616?

When configured for single-ended mode, the module provides 16 channels sharing a common ground reference. In differential mode, pairs of channels are combined to provide 8 differential inputs with improved noise rejection for long field wiring runs.

Do I need external shunt resistors to read 4–20 mA current loops?

No. The contains internal 250 Ω precision current loop sense resistors. You simply connect the jumper on the 36-pin terminal block to enable the internal resistor for that channel.

What terminal block is required for the ?

The module requires a 36-pin terminal block, such as the IC695TBN008 (Box style screw terminal), IC695TBS008 (Spring clamp terminal), or IC695LNX001 (Spring clamp with quick-connect interface). Terminal blocks are sold separately.

Can the be used in a Series 90-30 baseplate?

No. The is a high-speed PCI-bus module designed exclusively for PACSystems RX3i universal baseplates. For Series 90-30 systems, the corresponding legacy 16-channel analog input module is the IC693ALG223.

What warranty coverage is included with this New Surplus module?

This module includes a full 1-year functional warranty. If any operational defect or hardware failure occurs during normal use within 12 months, we will immediately supply a replacement unit from our active buffer inventory.
