Product Role & System Fit

In industrial control systems, analog signals are the language of proportional devices like valve actuators, variable speed drives, and process regulators. The IC695ALG708-BB is an 8-channel analog output module designed for the GE (Emerson) PACSystems RX3i programmable automation controller family, and it bridges the digital logic world of PLCs with real-world analog hardware. Each channel can be independently configured to produce either current or voltage signals, making the module a flexible choice wherever fine-grained analog control is required.

Unlike discrete output modules that switch devices on and off, analog output modules such as the IC695ALG708-BB produce continuous values that represent proportional process variables. This is essential for process industries: maintaining a pump speed at 45% of full scale, controlling a valve position in response to PID calculations, or modulating heater power based on temperature feedback are all tasks that depend on precise analog outputs.

The module plugs into a standard RX3i universal backplane and communicates with CPUs through the PACSystems architecture. Because each output is independently configurable, a single module can interface with a mix of sensors and actuators without requiring multiple specialized cards. This reduces cabinet space, simplifies system inventories, and lowers total cost of ownership.

From a system integration perspective, the IC695ALG708-BB pairs with any compatible RX3i CPU that supports analog outputs and firmware capable of analog configuration. Engineers typically use GE Proficy Machine Edition or equivalent programming tools to assign channel modes, define scaling parameters, and integrate the module into control logic loops. This ensures the analog signals it generates align with the broader process strategy — whether that strategy is closed-loop control, data logging, or supervisory automation.
