Product Description

The GE IC697MDL340 module provides 16 output points, which are split into four isolated groups. Each group supports up to 4 amps of current, while individual points can handle 2 amps. This modular design ensures flexibility and can meet various industrial needs.

This module is ideal for controlling inductive loads, such as motors, relays, and solenoids, which often require a high inrush current for start-up. The GE IC697MDL340 can manage 20 amps of inrush current for one cycle (20 ms), making it suitable for applications that demand high power at start-up.

Each output comes with an LED indicator to show its ON/OFF status. Furthermore, it includes a fuse status indicator for quick diagnostics. The module’s mechanical keying prevents improper replacements in the field.

The module operates at a frequency range of 47 to 63 Hz and supports an output voltage range of 85 to 132 volts. It draws a 0.25 amp current and is energy-efficient. The GE IC697MDL340 module mounts directly to the PLC backplane without requiring additional power sources for basic operation.

Applications

Perfect for controlling inductive loads, such as motors, solenoids, and transformers.
Suitable for industrial automation that requires reliable output control.
Ideal for applications with high inrush current needs, such as motor start-up.
