GE Fanuc RX3i IC695ALG600 Universal Analog Input Module

Overview

The IC695ALG600 is a versatile analog input module designed for the GE Fanuc PACSystems RX3i series. It provides eight configurable input channels capable of handling voltage, current, thermocouple, RTD, and resistance signals. Each channel can be individually set up for a wide range of industrial sensors, making it suitable for precise process monitoring, temperature measurement, and general-purpose analog data acquisition. Built-in LED indicators provide instant feedback on module and field status, while its low power consumption ensures efficient operation.
