PRODUCT INFORMATION
Product Overview
The General Electric IC697MDL253 is an AC input module for Series 90-70 programmable logic controllers. It provides 32 input points organized into 4 isolated groups of 8 points each. Group isolation permits operation across separate AC supply phases. The module operates at a rated voltage of 24 Volts AC. Mechanical keying ensures proper orientation and accurate field replacement.
This resistive input module features an integrated 20-microsecond filter for signal conditioning. Status LEDs indicate the active on and off state of each individual input point. The hardware operates without physical DIP switches or jumpers. Software configuration is managed via SNP or TCP/IP communication ports on supported operating systems.
