Description
Product Overview
The GE IC697GDH701 is a rugged 16-channel digital input module engineered to deliver reliable signal acquisition in harsh industrial environments. As part of GE’s PACSystems RX3i series, this module provides galvanically isolated inputs for monitoring discrete signals from sensors, switches, and relays in applications such as process control, machinery automation, and energy management. With 24 VDC nominal input voltage and 4 kV isolation, it ensures noise-free signal transmission even in high-interference settings like oil refineries or power plants.
Designed for hot-swappable operation, the GE IC697GDH701 allows field replacement without disrupting system uptime, reducing maintenance downtime by up to 50% compared to traditional modules. Its wide operating temperature range (-40°C to +70°C) and compliance with IEC 61000-6-2/6-4 electromagnetic compatibility standards make it suitable for extreme industrial conditions. The module supports slew-rate filtering to eliminate transient noise, ensuring accurate detection of slow-moving signals in applications like conveyor belt speed monitoring.
In automation architectures, the GE IC697GDH701 serves as a critical interface between field devices and control systems, enabling real-time data integration with PLCs, HMIs, and SCADA platforms. Its compact form factor (127 mm × 102 mm × 76 mm) optimizes rack space, while LED diagnostics provide instant status feedback for troubleshooting.
