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)
- Execute Lock-Out/Tag-Out (LOTO) procedures on the main RX3i rack power supply and external field transmitter loop power supplies.
- Put on an anti-static grounded wrist strap before handling the card to protect sensitive internal analog-to-digital converters from ESD damage.
- Verify that field wiring corresponds correctly to single-ended or differential operation prior to mounting the terminal assembly.
Stage 2: Removal
- De-energize the RX3i universal baseplate rack.
- Unlatch and remove the 36-pin terminal block (IC695TBN008/TBS008) or high-density connector from the module faceplate.
- 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)
- 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.
- Push firmly on the top and bottom face of the module until the locking tabs click into place.
- 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
- Reapply power to the RX3i baseplate rack and analog field loops.
- Check that the “MODULE OK” LED turns solid green and “FIELD STATUS” shows normal operation.
- 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.
