PRODUCT INFORMATION
Product Overview
The General Electric IC697MDL254 is a 48 VAC discrete input module designed for Series 90-70 systems. It provides 32 input points organized into four isolated groups of eight points each. Each eight-point group can connect to a separate phase of the AC supply. The module operates from a 5 VDC backplane bus and draws 0.30 A current. Dedicated status LEDs display the active on or off condition of each field point.
Field inputs exhibit resistive characteristics conforming to IEC standard current-voltage type 1 specifications. This circuit design supports proximity switches, pushbuttons, selector switches, and 2-wire or 3-wire electronic devices. Operating software configures references without requiring physical jumpers or DIP switches. Software tools under MS-DOS or Windows handle module setup. Mechanical keying prevents insertion into an incorrectly configured backplane slot.
