Product Overview

The IC697MDL250 is a high-density AC input module for the GE Fanuc Series 90-70 PLC platform. It provides 32 discrete input points organized into four isolated groups of eight, allowing it to interface with different AC supply phases across the same board. This module is ideal for detecting signals from pushbuttons, limit switches, and 2-wire/3-wire proximity switches. We guarantee this unit is 100% brand new, ensuring factory reliability for your industrial control cabinet.

Technical Specifications

Engineering Advantages

• Phase Isolation Flexibility:
  Divides 32 points into four isolated groups, allowing connection to different AC phases or power sources, increasing system flexibility in complex environments.

• Enhanced Signal Stabilization:
  An integrated 20 ms input filter scrubs electrical noise and contact bounce, ensuring clean, stable signals for accurate detection.

• Streamlined Maintenance:
  The LED array provides per-point ON/OFF status for easy field signal verification. Mechanical keying prevents incorrect module installations during replacements.

• Jump-Free Configuration:
  No physical jumpers or DIP switches required. Configuration is done through software (Proficy Machine Edition or Logicmaster 90-70), reducing setup errors and simplifying hot-swapping.

• Efficient Thermal Design:
  Low-wattage components minimize heat dissipation, extending the lifespan of both the module and surrounding electronics by maintaining cooler operating temperatures.

FAQs

Can I mix AC and DC signals on this module?

No, the IC697MDL250 is designed only for 120 VAC signals. Using DC signals may cause detection failure and damage to the input circuitry.

Does this module support 2-wire proximity sensors?

Yes, it is compliant with IEC Type 2 reactive input standards, ensuring compatibility with 2-wire AC proximity switches.

What is the purpose of the isolated groups?

Each of the four isolated groups allows you to use different AC power sources or phases, providing electrical separation for each field circuit.

How do I replace the module safely?

Always remove power from the rack or field circuits before disconnecting the terminal block to prevent arcing and ensure technician safety.
