IC697MDL241 | GE Fanuc | Discrete Input Module Series 90-70

Product Summary

The GE Fanuc IC697MDL241 is a 240 VAC, 16-point isolated discrete input module designed for the Series 90-70 programmable logic controller platform. It provides 16 individually isolated input channels, allowing each point to interface with separate AC power phases or independent circuits without interference.

Installation Guide

1. Ensure the PLC rack power is disconnected prior to installation.
2. Align the module with the card guides and insert firmly into the backplane connector.
3. Secure the module using the retaining screws at the top and bottom.
4. Connect field wiring to the terminal block using AWG #14 to #22 conductors.
5. Verify all connections and polarity before restoring power.
6. Confirm proper operation through the module’s LED status indicators.

Refer to GE Fanuc publication GFK-0376 for complete installation, wiring, and safety information.

Selection Guidelines

• Select the IC697MDL241 for applications requiring 240 VAC isolated inputs with per-point isolation.
• For 120 VAC requirements, consider model IC697MDL240.
• Evaluate conformal coating options for high-humidity or corrosive environments.
• Confirm backplane power capacity supports the module’s 0.25 A draw at 5 VDC.
