Product Overview
The GE IC697MDL341 is a high-performance Discrete Output Module designed for industrial automation systems, specifically engineered for the GE Fanuc Series 90-70 PLC platform. This module delivers 12 individually isolated output points, each rated for 2 A at 120/240 VAC, making it ideal for driving inductive and incandescent loads in demanding environments. Its robust design includes high inrush current capability (10x rated current), ensuring reliable operation with contactors, solenoids, and other high-power devices. The GE IC697MDL341 integrates seamlessly into complex control systems, providing precise signal switching and fail-safe operation for applications such as motor control, valve actuation, and process automation.
Featuring LED indicators for real-time status monitoring, the GE IC697MDL341 allows users to quickly identify output states and detect blown fuses. Each output point is protected by a 3.15 A replaceable fuse, enhancing safety and minimizing downtime. The module’s mechanical keying mechanism prevents incorrect installation, while software-based configuration eliminates the need for jumpers or dip switches. With compatibility across a wide input voltage range (85–264 VAC), this module adapts to diverse power supply conditions, ensuring stability in global industrial settings.

Main Features and Advantages
High-Power Switching Capability: The GE IC697MDL341 supports 2 A per output point with 10x inrush current tolerance, making it suitable for inductive loads like motors and solenoids. This capability reduces the risk of damage from voltage spikes during startup.
Isolated Output Design: Each of the 12 output points is electrically isolated, preventing cross-talk and ensuring signal integrity in noisy industrial environments. This isolation also simplifies troubleshooting by isolating faults to individual channels.
Reliable Fault Protection: Individually fused outputs with LED status indicators enable quick identification of blown fuses, minimizing downtime during maintenance. The module’s mechanical keying ensures correct replacement, reducing installation errors.
Flexible Configuration: Configurable via GE Fanuc programming software (e.g., VersaPro), the GE IC697MDL341 allows users to adapt output references without hardware adjustments, streamlining system integration.
Wide Environmental Compatibility: Rated for operation from -25°C to +70°C, this module performs reliably in extreme temperatures, making it suitable for outdoor installations, harsh manufacturing floors, and offshore platforms.
Application Areas
The GE IC697MDL341 excels in industries requiring precise and reliable discrete output control:
Manufacturing: Controls conveyor belts, robotic arms, and assembly line equipment by driving contactors and relays.
Energy: Manages pump systems, valve actuators, and motor starters in power plants and oil refineries.
Water Treatment: Powers solenoid valves and aeration systems in wastewater treatment facilities.
Packaging: Automates labeling machines, sealing mechanisms, and material handling systems.
HVAC: Controls dampers, fans, and heating elements in building automation systems.
Its high inrush current capability and isolation features make it particularly valuable for applications where momentary voltage surges are common.
Installation Preparation: Before installing the GE IC697MDL341, ensure the PLC rack is powered off and grounded. Align the module’s mechanical key with the rack slot to prevent incorrect insertion. Terminate field wiring using the recommended torque specifications (typically 0.5–0.8 N·m) and verify compatibility with the system’s power supply.
Maintenance Recommendations: Regularly inspect the module’s LED indicators for 异常状态 (e.g., blown fuses) and replace faulty fuses promptly. Clean dust and debris from the module’s vents quarterly to maintain optimal thermal performance. Update firmware periodically to address security vulnerabilities and enhance compatibility with newer GE Fanuc systems.
