Description

The IC694MDL350 is a high-density, 16-point isolated AC output module engineered for the GE Fanuc RX3i PacSystem. This module is designed to provide robust signal protection and noise immunity, making it suitable for demanding industrial environments such as power generation, chemical processing, and mining. It enables the reliable switching of high-voltage AC loads and provides real-time field-side terminal block status diagnostics to the RX3i CPU, facilitating rapid fault detection and reduced system downtime.

Features

• 16 fully isolated output channels for independent circuit operation and cross-channel interference prevention.
• Supports a wide operating voltage range of 74 to 265 VAC (47 to 63 Hz).
• Integrated diagnostics for monitoring field-side terminal block status.
• High-speed response time of 1/2 cycle for both On and Off states.
• Compatible with standard RX3i backplane power architectures.

Applications

This module is typically deployed in industrial control systems requiring the switching of AC-powered actuators, contactors, solenoids, and indicators. Its isolated architecture is specifically beneficial in applications where multiple voltage sources or high-noise environments are present.

Installation Guidelines

• Power Off: Always disconnect backplane power before installing or removing the module from the RX3i rack.
• External Fusing: This module does not contain internal fuses. External overcurrent protection must be installed in series with each output load to prevent damage to the module circuitry.
• Wiring: Ensure all field wiring is properly secured to the terminal block. Use shielded cables where necessary to minimize EMI in high-noise environments.
• Grounding: Maintain proper chassis grounding for the RX3i rack to ensure effective noise immunity and operator safety.
• Cooling: Ensure adequate airflow around the RX3i rack to maintain the ambient temperature within the 0 to 60 deg C range.

FAQ

Does this module include internal fuses?

No, the IC694MDL350 does not have internal fusing. Users must provide appropriate external overcurrent protection for each output circuit.

Can this module handle independent circuits for each channel?

Yes, the 16 output channels are fully isolated, allowing them to operate on independent circuits if required by the application.
