Output Design and Protection

Each output point uses a rugged power transistor for switching loads. An optoisolator separates the logic side from the field wiring. Moreover, this module includes built-in short-circuit protection on all eight channels. Overheating will automatically shut down the affected output.

Performance Characteristics

The GE IC610MDL155A switches loads within 1 to 1.5 milliseconds. You can connect each output directly to a 2 Amp solenoid or relay. The total module load should not exceed 8 Amps continuous. Additionally, the module draws only 150 mA from the backplane supply.

Installation and Wiring

Mount this module in any I/O slot of a Series One base rack. The 18-pin terminal block accepts wire sizes from 14 to 22 AWG. For best results, use a separate DC power supply for the field outputs. You should also install a flyback diode across each inductive load.

Visual Status Indicators

Eight red LEDs sit on the front panel for easy troubleshooting. Each LED lights up when its corresponding output turns ON. Consequently, you can verify output states without a multimeter.

Why Choose This Module

This source output module replaces older IC610MDL155 units directly. Its PNP configuration suits European and Asian machine designs. Therefore, this module works perfectly for conveyor systems and packaging equipment.
