Description
Product Overview
The GE IC670MDL740K is a high-performance 16-point positive logic sourcing output module designed for industrial automation applications, engineered for GE Fanuc’s Field Control Series. This module provides reliable discrete control for actuators, valves, and motors in manufacturing, power generation, and water treatment systems. It supports 12/24VDC output signals with 0.5A per channel current capacity, ensuring robust operation in harsh industrial environments. The module’s positive logic design switches loads to the positive side of the DC supply, delivering precise control over equipment such as pumps, conveyors, and solenoids.
Engineered for durability, the GE IC670MDL740K features 250VAC continuous isolation between user inputs and logic circuits, protecting against electrical noise and ground loops. LED indicators on the module provide real-time status updates for power, communication, and individual output channels, enabling quick visual diagnostics. The module operates on 18–30VDC power from the Bus Interface Unit (BIU) and requires an external 9.2–29.5VDC power supply for load switching, with a 5A fuse to safeguard against overcurrent conditions.
As part of GE Fanuc’s Field Control Series, the GE IC670MDL740K interfaces with a Bus Interface Unit (BIU) (e.g., IC670GBI002) to communicate with host PLCs or computers via the Genius Bus protocol. This modular design allows seamless integration into distributed control systems, supporting applications such as motor control, process automation, and building management. The module’s 200-microsecond response time ensures rapid actuation, critical for time-sensitive industrial processes.
