Product Overview

The GE IC695MDL664CA functions as a high-density digital input interface for the PACSystems RX3i platform. This module provides 16 discrete input channels, organized into two isolated groups of eight points each. It utilizes positive logic (sourcing) to detect signals from field devices such as pushbuttons, limit switches, and electronic sensors. We offer this product as 100% Brand New, ensuring your industrial control system operates with original, high-reliability components.

Technical Specifications

Engineering Advantages

Enhanced Signal Isolation
The module features two isolated groups of eight points. This design prevents electrical noise or faults in one group from affecting the other, increasing overall system resilience in noisy factory environments.

Selectable Response Times
Engineers can configure the input filter times through software. This capability allows the system to ignore contact bounce from mechanical switches while maintaining rapid response for high-speed electronic sensors.

Advanced Diagnostics
The module monitors internal circuit health and field-side power status. It reports hardware failures directly to the RX3i CPU, allowing maintenance teams to identify faulty circuits before they cause significant production delays.

Versatile Mounting
The RX3i architecture supports both panel and DIN rail installation. The IC695MDL664CA fits securely into the universal backplane, utilizing rugged connectors that withstand high-vibration industrial applications.

FAQs

What type of field devices work with the IC695MDL664CA?
This module works with any 24VDC sourcing device. Because it is a positive logic module, the field device must switch the positive side of the DC power supply to the module input terminal.

Does this module require a specific terminal block?
Yes, the IC695MDL664CA typically requires a 36-pin or similar high-density terminal block (such as the IC694TBBx or IC695TBBx series). Always verify terminal block compatibility based on your specific wiring requirements.

Can I replace an IC695MDL664 with the “CA” version?
Yes, the “CA” version is the latest hardware revision and serves as a direct, drop-in replacement for all previous versions of the IC695MDL664. It maintains the same physical footprint and electrical characteristics.

How do I configure the input filter settings?
You manage all filter and diagnostic settings through PAC Machine Edition (PME). The software allows you to set specific debounce times for each group to match the characteristics of your field hardware.
