PRODUCT INFORMATION
Product Overview
The General Electric IC697MDL240 is a Series 90-70 Discrete Input Module designed for industrial programmable logic controllers. It provides 16 isolated input points rated for 120 Volts AC operation at 60 Hz. Channel-to-channel isolation allows connections across different AC supply phases without cross-circuit interference. The module draws 0.25 Amps of current from the 5 Volt backplane bus. Reactive input circuitry supports both 2-wire and 3-wire proximity switches. Capacitive input circuits assist with heat dissipation across operating cycles.
Status LEDs located at the top display real-time on and off states for all input channels. In the on-state, typical input current is 10 milliamps. In the off-state, the input circuit sinks up to 4 milliamps of leakage current. An integrated input filter delay of 20 milliseconds provides signal stability. Module configuration operates entirely through programming software, eliminating DIP switches or manual jumpers. A mechanical key attaches to the backplane center rail to prevent incorrect module insertion during replacement.
