PRODUCT INFORMATION
Product Overview
General Electric IC697MDL640 is a Series 90-70 Discrete Input Module designed for industrial programmable controllers. It provides 16 input points divided into four isolated groups of four points each. The module operates at a rated voltage of 125 V DC. It supports both positive and negative logic input wiring configurations. Each input channel presents current-voltage characteristics conforming to IEC standards. Compatibility extends to standard input field devices as well as proximity switches. Input voltage ranges from -35 to 145 V DC across the channels.
Software configuration eliminates the need for manual DIP switches or physical jumpers during setup. Users configure input reference addressing using compatible MS-DOS or Windows software tools. Connection occurs through an SNP serial port or an Ethernet TCP/IP interface. The module requires 0.3 A of operating current from the system backplane. Configurable input filter times include 1 millisecond and 10 millisecond options. Additionally, one input channel can be configured as a hardware interrupt input. Mechanical keying ensures correct module orientation within the rack.
