MeloAuto-Trusted PLC & DCS Parts Supplier
Engineered for GE Series One PLC Systems
This module reads digital signals from field sensors and pushbuttons. It provides reliable input detection for the GE IC610MDL107B unit. You will find this input card in legacy Series One control systems. Unlike low-density modules, this version offers sixteen independent circuits. It handles both mechanical contacts and solid-state proximity sensors.

Functional Architecture and Circuit Configuration
This module connects to the Series One backplane via a card-edge connector. It uses sixteen optocouplers for electrical isolation. You can wire each input to a separate field device. Moreover, the module includes RC filters on every circuit. These components eliminate false signals from contact bounce and noise. Consequently, the board delivers clean status data to the CPU.
Installation and Operational Guidelines
The GE IC610MDL107B consumes 90 mA at 5V DC from the backplane. It updates all 16 inputs every 10 milliseconds. You must connect the common terminal to 24V DC supply ground. Always use shielded cables for input runs longer than 15 meters. This practice prevents false triggering from induced electrical noise. Furthermore, the module includes LED indicators for each input circuit. This feature allows immediate visual status checking across all 16 channels.
Physical Characteristics and Environmental Limits
This inputs module has a compact, industrial-grade plastic housing. Its lightweight 0.32 kg design allows for easy rack installation. The layout follows GE standard Series One module specifications. Therefore, it fits securely into any Series One rack slot. The module requires one slot width for installation. In addition, it maintains stable operation between 0°C and 60°C ambient temperature. You can store this unit safely between -40°C and 85°C.
