Product Role & System Fit

The GE IC695HSC308-AA is an 8-channel high-speed counter (HSC) module designed for PACSystems RX3i PLCs. Its purpose is to handle fast input pulses from devices such as encoders, proximity sensors, or pulse-output flow meters — tasks that exceed the scan rate capabilities of standard digital input modules.

Each channel can operate independently in single-phase or quadrature mode, enabling precise position and velocity measurements. The module executes counting, prescaling, and accumulation internally, freeing the main PLC CPU from high-speed signal processing tasks.

By integrating directly into the RX3i rack, the IC695HSC308-AA communicates over the backplane to the CPU, presenting counts and status information in memory registers accessible by ladder logic or structured text programs. This architecture allows high-speed inputs to be captured deterministically, even in demanding industrial environments where millisecond timing matters.
