The GE Fanuc discrete output module is known as the IC697MDL740 discrete output module and is often used with programmable logic controllers or PLCS in the GE Series 90-70 product line. The IC697MDL740 discrete output module works with many GE PLC devices and has a wide range of features to help enhance PLC systems and improve machine performance. The IC697MDL740 output module offers 16 outputs and requires a voltage range of 20 to 60 volts DC to operate. The specified current for the output is 2 amps per point or 4 amps per output group. This particular module responds in just 2 milliseconds and has a voltage drop of less than 1 volt.
The IC697MDL740 discrete output module has a high surge capability of about 10 times its rated current value. The specified surge current allows the module to support a variety of loads. This output module includes LED indicators for fuse status and device switch status updates. All LED indicators are located at the top of the module. The module also includes a specific keying technology that does not allow the installation of incompatible modules. This security feature can be valuable because each component in the system must meet the needs of the application that applies the module. The configuration process for the IC697MDL740 module is simple and can be done in a variety of ways. All adjustments are made on a PC running Windows. For extra protection, the module can be purchased with a conformal coating, which is an optional feature. Other optional features are also available from the factory.
