The General Electric IC697MDL654 is a high-performance discrete input module designed for integration within the GE Fanuc Series 90-70 Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) architecture. This 32-point module operates at a rated voltage of 48VDC and features four isolated groups of eight points each, offering versatile configuration for industrial control applications.

Features

• 32-point input capacity organized into four isolated groups of eight.
• Supports both positive and negative logic configurations.
• Compatible with standard proximity switches, including many 2-wire and 3-wire types.
• Selectable input filter settings of 1 ms or 10 ms to accommodate varying signal noise environments.
• First input point is configurable as an interrupt for high-speed processing requirements.
• Integrated LED status indicators for real-time monitoring of input points on the logic side.

Technical Specifications

Installation Guidelines

• Ensure the PLC rack power is disconnected before installing or removing the module to prevent electrical damage.
• To remove: Firmly grasp the module at the top and bottom of the cover. Squeeze the plastic clips on the rear to disengage them from the rack rail and pull the module outward along the card guides.
• Ensure the mechanical key is correctly set to prevent improper module insertion into the rack slot.
• Maintain proper ventilation within the cabinet to ensure the module operates within its specified temperature range.
• Use shielded cabling for input signals to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI) in high-noise industrial environments.

FAQ

What is the primary function of the IC697MDL654?

This module serves as a 32-point discrete input interface for the GE Series 90-70 PLC system, allowing the controller to receive and process 48VDC signals from field devices.

Are the input groups isolated?

Yes, the module features four isolated groups, with each group containing eight input points, providing electrical separation between signal circuits.

Can this module be used with proximity switches?

Yes, it is designed for compatibility with 3-wire proximity switches and many 2-wire types, provided the device characteristics fall within the specified ON/OFF state voltage and current leakage thresholds.

What do the LEDs on the front panel indicate?

The LEDs provide a visual status of the ON/OFF state for each corresponding input point as seen by the PLC logic.
