PRODUCT INFORMATION
Product Overview
The General Electric IC670MDL330 is an AC discrete output module from the Field Control series. It provides 16 sourcing output channels arranged into a single isolated group. The module handles nominal AC loads ranging from 12 to 120 VAC. Operating line frequency spans from 47 to 63 Hz. Each individual output channel supports continuous load currents up to 1 Ampere. Total load current across the entire module cannot exceed 4 Amperes.
A Field Control Bus Interface Unit delivers logic power to the module. The interface unit communicates through a serial data stream containing 16 bits of output data. During transmission, the module loops data back to the interface unit for verification. Individual channel status LEDs indicate the state of each output point. An additional Fuse OK LED monitors the status of the integrated group protection fuse.
