PRODUCT INFORMATION
Product Overview
The General Electric IC697MDL650 Series 90-70 Input Module provides thirty-two discrete positive logic input points for industrial control racks. This module groups inputs into four isolated sets containing eight points each. It operates on a rated nominal voltage of 24 V DC. Operating voltage spans across a functional range from -3 to 30 V DC. Each input channel draws 10 mA of current at rated voltage. The module requires 0.3 A of backplane current during normal operation.
The module features user-configurable I/O references that eliminate hardware jumpers or DIP switches. Configuration occurs via IC641 Programming Software running on compatible industrial computers or PC hardware. Integrated faceplate LED indicators display the active on or off status of each field point. These indicators also extinguish during internal module faults to assist maintenance diagnostics. A selectable input filter helps stabilize incoming discrete signals against contact bounce. Field inputs interface with mechanical switches and electronic proximity sensors.
