PRODUCT INFORMATION
Product Overview
The General Electric IC697MDL340 is a discrete Output Module for the Series 90-70 programmable controller platform. This module features sixteen output points organized into four isolated groups. Each output group operates at a rated voltage of 120 Volts AC. The isolated architecture permits distinct groups to run across separate phases of an AC power source. Individual output channels supply up to 2 Amps continuous current. Internal thermal dissipation limits the total load capacity of each group to 4 Amps.
This module handles up to 10x inrush current for inductive and incandescent field devices. It controls equipment such as solenoids, indicators, motor starters, and most Size 4 contactors. Each isolated group contains an independent 10 Amp protective fuse. Top-mounted LEDs indicate point status on the PLC side and report blown fuse conditions. Built-in mechanical keying ensures correct module replacement in the field. Reference assignment is completed through software without using physical jumpers or DIP switches.
