PRODUCT INFORMATION
Product Overview
The General Electric IC697MDL250 is a 120 V AC discrete input module for Series 90-70 controllers. This unit provides 32 input points arranged into 4 isolated groups of 8 points each. Each isolated group can connect to separate AC supply phases. The module operates with a 20 millisecond input filter time. Reactive input circuits meet IEC Type 2 requirements and interface directly with electronic proximity switches.
Status LEDs located on top of the module display the on and off states of each channel. Users configure input and output references through software without setting physical DIP switches or jumpers. Configuration executes through compatible Windows or MS-DOS programming environments. A mechanical key below the connector fits a board slot to prevent accidental insertion of incorrect module types.
