GE IC200MDL240J | VersaMax AC Input Module

The GE IC200MDL240J provides reliable AC signal acquisition for the VersaMax platform. This AC input module features 8 input channels for connecting 120 V AC field devices. It accepts signals from limit switches, push buttons, and proximity sensors. Weighing only 0.15 kg, the GE IC200MDL240J fits into any standard VersaMax I/O rack. Its dimensions measure 110 mm x 45 mm x 55 mm.

Input Specifications and Channel Features

The GE IC200MDL240J accepts 120 V AC inputs at 47 Hz to 63 Hz frequency range. Each input channel draws 12 mA at nominal voltage for reliable signal detection. The module filters electrical noise with a fixed 30 ms input delay. Moreover, the GE IC200MDL240J includes LED indicators for each channel to show active status. Consequently, you can troubleshoot field wiring quickly without a programming terminal.

Energy Storage and Internal Components

The GE IC200MDL240J contains no internal battery for complete maintenance-free operation. It stores no energy locally except for small decoupling capacitors. This module draws 100 mA from the 5 V DC backplane power supply. The GE IC200MDL240J includes 8 optocouplers for electrical isolation between backplane and field. Therefore, it protects your controller from electrical noise and voltage spikes on AC lines.

Connector and Installation Details

The GE IC200MDL240J uses a removable screw terminal block for all field wiring. This terminal block accepts wire sizes from AWG 24 to AWG 14 for flexible cabling. Connect the 120 V AC hot wire to each input terminal and the neutral to the common return terminal. The GE IC200MDL240J requires no external power supply for input circuit operation. Use twisted pair cable for longer wiring runs to reduce electrical noise pickup. This AC input module suits limit switches, push buttons, proximity sensors, and photo-electric sensors in AC control circuits. It works perfectly for conveyor monitoring, position sensing, and machine guarding applications. Thus, the GE IC200MDL240J delivers reliable AC signal acquisition for demanding industrial environments.
