GE IC670MDL930 – Field Control I/O Module for Mixed Signal Processing

The GE IC670MDL930 combines digital and analog signals in a single compact module. This I/O module measures 130 mm in height and 45 mm in width. It has a depth of 85 mm, so it fits standard DIN rails easily. The unit weighs 0.28 kg, making installation quick and effortless.

Digital Input and Output Specifications

This field control module provides 8 digital input channels for 24V DC signals. The GE IC670MDL930 also includes 8 digital output channels with transistor switching. Each digital input draws 7 mA at 24V DC from field devices. Each digital output handles 0.5 amps at 24V DC for actuators. LED indicators show the status of all 16 digital points clearly.

Analog Input Channels and Ranges

The GE IC670MDL930 offers 4 analog input channels for process signals. Each channel accepts 0 to 10V DC or 4 to 20 mA field inputs. The module provides 12-bit resolution for accurate analog measurement. A built-in filter removes 60 Hz noise from industrial environments. Channel-to-channel isolation prevents ground loops between different sensors.

Internal Architecture and Component Layout

The module contains two separate circuit boards inside its plastic housing. One board handles digital I/O, while the other manages analog conversion. The GE IC670MDL930 includes a dedicated microcontroller for local processing. A 20-pin removable terminal block accepts all field wiring connections. The module stores 150 µF of capacitance for power supply filtering.

Network Interface and Power Requirements

A Genius fieldbus interface connects this module to the I/O network. The GE IC670MDL930 draws 300 mA at 24V DC from an external supply. It automatically reports its configuration to the bus controller unit. The module supports hot-swapping for maintenance without system shutdown. Rotary switches set the device address from 0 to 31 easily.

Below is a complete summary of its technical specifications.

The GE IC670MDL930 replaces older mixed I/O modules in Field Control systems. You do not need any special configuration tools for basic operation. This module also supports remote I/O applications up to 750 meters from the controller. Consequently, it suits distributed control in manufacturing and processing plants.
