The General Electric IC200MDL640 is a 16-point discrete input module designed for the VersaMax I/O system. This module operates with a nominal input voltage of 24V DC and supports both positive and negative logic configurations, providing flexibility for diverse industrial control applications. The 16 input points are organized into two groups of eight, with each point featuring an individual LED status indicator for simplified diagnostics.

Features

• 16 discrete input points arranged in two groups of 8.
• Supports both positive and negative logic input wiring.
• Configurable input filtering (0 ms, 1.0 ms default, 7.0 ms).
• Integrated LED status indicators for each input point.
• Hot-swappable design for maintenance without system downtime.
• Powered directly via the backplane; no external power supply required for internal operation.

Technical Specifications

Applications

• Automotive assembly and painting lines.
• Power generation control systems.
• Water treatment and chemical processing facilities.
