PRODUCT INFORMATION
Product Overview
The General Electric IC697MDL251 is an input module designed for the Series 90-70 controller family. This module provides discrete inputs arranged into isolated groups for field sensor monitoring. Each isolated group operates independently with a separate alternating current supply phase. It connects directly with limit switches, selector switches, pushbuttons, and electronic proximity switches.
The module draws 0.35 Amps from the 5 Volt backplane bus. An integrated mechanical key prevents incorrect module insertion into a chassis slot. Field wiring connects to a removable terminal board supporting wire sizes 14 to 22. A dedicated cleat and cable tie secure the field wire bundle. Maintenance personnel must turn off field power before removing the terminal board.
