Description
Product Overview
The GE IC697MDL341RR is a high-reliability Redundant Discrete Output Module engineered for mission-critical industrial automation systems. Built on the proven foundation of the GE Fanuc Series 90-70 platform, this module delivers 12 individually isolated output points, each rated for 2 A at 120/240 VAC, with redundant relay configurations to ensure continuous operation even in the event of a single-point failure. Designed for applications where downtime is costly, the GE IC697MDL341RR integrates seamlessly into PLC and DCS systems, providing fail-safe switching for inductive loads such as contactors, solenoids, and motor starters in industries like oil and gas, power generation, and pharmaceutical manufacturing.
Featuring dual relay contacts per output channel, the GE IC697MDL341RR offers hardware-level redundancy, allowing the module to maintain output continuity if one relay fails. Each relay is protected by a 3.15 A replaceable fuse and an RC snubber circuit to suppress voltage transients, enhancing longevity in high-inrush environments. The module’s LED indicators provide real-time status monitoring for both primary and secondary relays, enabling rapid fault diagnosis. With compatibility across a wide input voltage range (85–264 VAC), this module adapts to diverse power supply conditions while maintaining ±0.1% signal integrity.

Main Features and Advantages
Dual Relay Redundancy: Each output channel features two independent relays, providing fail-safe operation by automatically switching to the backup relay if the primary fails. This redundancy is critical for maintaining process continuity in applications like emergency shutdown systems (ESD) and critical machinery control.
Enhanced Fault Protection: Individually fused outputs with LED status indicators allow quick identification of blown fuses or relay failures. The RC snubber circuit suppresses voltage spikes, reducing wear on both the module and connected loads.
Wide Environmental Compatibility: Rated for operation from -25°C to +70°C, the GE IC697MDL341RR performs reliably in extreme temperatures, making it suitable for outdoor installations, offshore platforms, and harsh manufacturing environments.
Flexible Configuration: Configurable via GE Fanuc programming software (e.g., VersaPro), the module supports mixed voltage and current outputs, adapting to diverse load requirements without hardware adjustments.
High-Inrush Capability: With 10x rated current tolerance, the GE IC697MDL341RR handles inductive loads like motors and solenoids, minimizing the risk of damage during startup.
Application Areas
The GE IC697MDL341RR excels in industries requiring uninterrupted operation:
- Energy Production: Controls pump systems, valve actuators, and motor starters in power plants and oil refineries, ensuring continuous process flow.
- Pharmaceuticals: Manages sterile environment systems (e.g., HVAC, cleanroom controls) to maintain regulatory compliance.
- Water Treatment: Powers solenoid valves and aeration systems in wastewater treatment facilities, preventing downtime in critical filtration processes.
- Heavy Manufacturing: Drives robotic arms, conveyor belts, and assembly line equipment, supporting 24/7 production cycles.
- Chemical Processing: Controls reactor systems and distillation columns, providing redundant switching for safety-critical actuators.

Installation and Maintenance
Installation Preparation:
Before installing the GE IC697MDL341RR, 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 (0.5–0.8 N·m) and verify compatibility with the system’s power supply. For redundant configurations, connect both primary and secondary relay outputs to the load.
