What Is the GE IC695ALG112?
The IC695ALG112 is an RX3i Analog Input Module.
Its role is to receive analog information from field instrumentation and make that information available to the RX3i control system.
A typical process signal path can be represented as:
Process
↓
Sensor / Transmitter
↓
Analog Signal
↓
IC695ALG112
↓
RX3i Backplane
↓
RX3i CPU
↓
PLC Program
↓
Control Output / HMI / SCADA
This allows continuously varying process measurements to become usable control-system data.
Why Analog Inputs Are Important
Industrial processes frequently depend on measurements that vary over a continuous range.
Examples include:
- Temperature
- Pressure
- Flow
- Liquid level
- Position
- Speed
- Current
- Voltage
- Process concentration
Unlike a digital input, which normally represents discrete states, an analog input allows the PLC to interpret a continuously changing electrical signal.
For example, a transmitter may produce a signal corresponding to a process measurement. The analog input module converts the electrical representation into usable controller data, after which the PLC application can scale the value into engineering units.
Signal Processing Concept
A simplified analog measurement sequence is:
Physical Measurement
→
Transmitter
→
Analog Electrical Signal
→
IC695ALG112
→
Digital PLC Value
→
Engineering-Unit Scaling
→
Control Logic
The PLC application can then use the measured value for:
- Monitoring
- Alarms
- PID control
- Data logging
- HMI display
- Process sequencing
- Equipment protection
Installation Guide
1. Verify the Module
Before installation, confirm:
GE IC695ALG112
Check the model number against the system bill of materials and control-system documentation.
Do not install a module simply because it has the same physical dimensions as the existing module.
2. Inspect the Module
Before installation, inspect the IC695ALG112 for:
- Cracked housing
- Damaged terminal connections
- Bent contacts

Analog signals are particularly sensitive to electrical interference, so wiring layout should be considered before commissioning.
7. Isolate Power
Before installing or removing the module:
- Stop the controlled process.
- Put the machine into a safe state.
- Shut down the PLC system.
- Isolate electrical power.
- Apply lockout/tagout procedures where required.
- Verify that hazardous voltage has been removed.
Do not remove or install the module while energized unless the specific system procedure explicitly permits such operation.
8. Install the Module
Position the IC695ALG112 correctly in the designated RX3i system location.
Verify:
- Correct orientation
- Proper seating
- Secure mechanical installation
- No obstruction from adjacent equipment
Do not force the module into the backplane or mounting structure.
9. Connect Analog Field Wiring
Connect the field instrumentation according to the approved wiring diagram.
Pay particular attention to:

- Grounding
- Cable routing
- Terminal identification
Incorrect wiring can result in incorrect process values or channel faults.
10. Separate Signal and Power Wiring
Where possible, keep analog signal cables separated from:
- Motor cables
- Variable-frequency-drive cables
- Contactor wiring
- High-current conductors
- Switching power wiring
This reduces the possibility of electrical interference appearing in the analog measurement.
11. Check Shielding
For shielded analog cables, follow the system grounding strategy.
Improper shield termination can create:
- Ground loops
- Signal noise
- Measurement instability
- Offset errors
Do not assume that connecting every cable shield at every possible point is always the correct approach.
Configuration and Commissioning
Step 1 – Confirm Hardware Configuration
Verify that the PLC project includes the IC695ALG112 in the correct system position.

Step 4 – Verify PLC Values
Monitor the raw analog input data in the controller.
Compare the PLC value with the expected transmitter output.
If the raw value is incorrect, investigate the signal path before changing application scaling.
Step 5 – Configure Engineering Units
The raw input value normally needs to be converted into meaningful engineering units.
For example:
Raw Input
↓
Input Range
↓
Engineering Range
↓
Temperature / Pressure / Flow / Level
The scaling relationship must correspond to the actual transmitter range.

Do not replace the analog module before verifying the application layer.
Fault Diagnosis Flow
Use the following sequence:
Sensor
↓
Transmitter
↓
Field Wiring
↓
Terminal
↓
IC695ALG112
↓
RX3i CPU
↓
Scaling Logic
↓
HMI / SCADA
This separates field instrumentation problems from PLC hardware and software problems.
