GE IC610MDL175A Output Module for Series Six PLC Systems

The GE IC610MDL175A provides sixteen discrete output channels for Series Six PLCs. You can install this module directly into any standard Series Six I/O rack slot. It switches 24 V DC loads using transistor technology. This unit suits solenoid valves, indicator lamps, and small relay coils.

Technical Specifications and Hardware Layout

This output module measures 335 mm in height. Its width reaches 25 mm, and the depth equals 178 mm. The GE IC610MDL175A weighs approximately 0.48 kilograms. A single internal PCB holds all output driving and isolation circuits. The module provides sixteen sinking transistor outputs for DC loads. It stores no energy in capacitors or internal batteries. One 32-pin front connector handles all field wiring connections. Sixteen red LEDs display the real-time status of each channel.

Output Specifications and Electrical Ratings

The GE IC610MDL175A switches outputs at 24 V DC nominal. Each channel handles a continuous current of 0.5 A maximum. The total current per module reaches 4 A. Short-circuit protection limits each output to 1 A for fault conditions. Consequently, this module survives wiring errors without permanent damage. Output switching frequency reaches 100 Hz for rapid cycling tasks. Each channel includes an internal freewheeling diode for inductive loads. Optical isolation separates the field side from the backplane logic.

Installation and Practical Application Tips

You must snap this module firmly into a standard Series Six rack slot. Transitioning to wiring, use 0.5 mm² to 1.5 mm² stranded copper wire. The screw-type terminals require a 3 mm flathead screwdriver for tightening. For inductive loads, the internal diodes provide adequate suppression. The operating temperature range extends from 0°C to 60°C reliably. This module consumes only 120 mA from the backplane bus.
