GE FANUC IC697MDL240 , Discrete Input Module With 16 Isolated 120VAC Input Points

GE FANUC IC697MDL240 , Discrete Input Module With 16 Isolated 120VAC Input Points

Product Description

GE Fanuc IC697MDL240 is a Discrete Input Module with 16 isolated 120VAC input points and an input filter with a delay time of 20ms. This isolation allows connection between different AC supply phases and inputs. It has reactive input with characteristics of current-voltage supporting a variety of 2 or 3-wire proximity switches.

LEDs at the top indicate the ON and OFF state of the points on the PLC. IC697MDL240 has the feature of mechanical keying and allows configuration of I/O without using DIP switches or jumpers. Configuration is completed using the configuration function of the MS-DOS or Windows programming software running on Windows 95 or Windows NT over Ethernet TCP/IP or through the SNP port. The Programming Software configuration function is installed on the programming device.

Capacitive input circuitry permits low dissipation of heat, long life, and high reliability. Input current characteristics provide 10mA typically in the ON state, and can sink up to 4mA of leakage current in the OFF state to the input device.

The IC697MDL240 module draws .25A from the 5V bus present on the backplane. For proper substitution of module type, IC697MDL240 comes with the unique mechanical key with a fitting area. During the first installation, the mechanical key latches into the center rail on the backplane. During replacement, the previously fit key allows only similar module placement.

The field wiring terminal board is detachable. Two wires may be terminated on a lug if both wires are equal size. There is room for a bundle of 40 appropriately sized wires to be routed through the terminal.

About IC697MDL240

The GE Fanuc IC697MDL240 Discrete Input Module is a product of GE Fanuc that has been manufactured as part of the GE Series 90-70 PLC product line. This input module has 16 isolated input points with a voltage rating of 120 Volts AC and an input filter delay time of 20 milliseconds and the isolation is designed to enable the connection between various AC supply phases and inputs. It also comes with reactive inputs with current-voltage characteristics supporting a wide range of 2-wire or 3-wire proximity switches. It has LEDs on the top, indicating the on/off status for the points on the PLC. The IC697MDL240 Discrete Input Module features mechanical keying which allows for I/O configuration without requiring the use of DIP jumpers or switches.

The configuration of the IC697MDL240 Module is done through the Windows or MS-DOS programming software that runs on the Windows NT or Windows 95 operating system via the SNP port or through the Ethernet TCP/IP port. The configuration function of the programming software is installed on the device that is used for programming. The IC697MDL240 Module draws 0.25 Amps from the 5 Volts bus found on the backplane. It also comes with a special mechanical key that has a fitting area to enhance the proper substitution of the module type. During the first installation, this mechanical key bolts into the backplane center rail. When doing a replacement, the formerly fit key allows for a similar module to be installed. The capacitive input circuitry provides room for heat dissipation and it offers high levels of reliability and a long life. In the on-state, there are 10 milliamps of typical current, and the module can also sink up to 4 milliamps of leakage current to the input device while in the off-state.
