Technical Specifications

Description

The GE IC670MDL730 is a discrete output module designed for 24 VDC positive logic applications. It provides 8 discrete outputs with electronic short circuit and overcurrent protection. This ensures reliable operation even in demanding industrial environments.

Each output channel offers robust protection against overcurrent conditions and short circuits. If a fault occurs, the module generates a report, making troubleshooting easier. The short circuit response time is exceptionally fast, with a 20 Amp protection capacity for just 100 microseconds. This fast response prevents damage to the system and ensures safe operations.

The module operates using the power supply from the Bus Interface Module (BIM). It integrates smoothly with the IC670GBI002 Genius Bus Interface Module (revision 2.10 or later), as well as with Profibus interface units. The module’s communication is handled via serial data sent from the Bus Interface Module, and it sends data back for verification.

For protection against voltage surges, the IC670MDL730 includes a MOV across the power supply line. This protects the module from transient voltage spikes. Additionally, the module features capacitors for noise protection, ensuring stable operation even in electrically noisy environments.

This module is ideal for applications requiring quick, reliable, and protected output control. It is especially useful for automated systems that need to respond quickly to input changes while ensuring protection from overcurrent and short circuit conditions.

Applications

The GE IC670MDL730 module is well-suited for:

• Industrial automation systems requiring robust output control with short-circuit and overcurrent protection.
• High-speed output processes in systems where response time and protection are critical.
• Manufacturing environments where reliability and system safety are paramount.
