Product Overview
The GE IC697MDL350 is a high-density Discrete Output Module engineered for industrial automation systems, designed to integrate seamlessly with the GE Fanuc Series 90-70 PLC platform. This module delivers 32 isolated output points arranged in four groups of 8 points each, with a rated voltage of 120 VAC and 0.5 A per point, making it ideal for driving low-power loads such as indicators, solenoids, and small contactors in diverse industrial environments. Its robust design includes individual 5 A fuses per output group, providing fault isolation and protection against overcurrent events, while the high inrush current capability (10x rated current) ensures reliable operation with inductive loads like motor starters and lighting systems.
Featuring LED indicators for real-time status monitoring, the GE IC697MDL350 allows users to quickly identify output states and detect blown fuses. Each output group is electrically isolated, preventing cross-talk and ensuring signal integrity in noisy industrial settings. The module’s mechanical keying mechanism prevents incorrect installation, while software-based configuration via GE Fanuc programming tools (e.g., VersaPro) eliminates the need for hardware adjustments, streamlining system integration. With compatibility across a wide input voltage range (85–132 VAC), this module adapts to global power supply standards, ensuring stability in applications ranging from manufacturing floors to offshore platforms.

Main Features and Advantages
High-Density Output Configuration: The GE IC697MDL350 provides 32 output points in four isolated groups, enabling efficient space utilization in PLC racks while supporting multi-phase AC applications. This design is particularly valuable in systems requiring centralized control of distributed low-power devices.
Enhanced Fault Protection: Each output group is individually fused with 5 A replaceable fuses, minimizing downtime by isolating faults to specific channels. LED indicators for each point and group simplify troubleshooting, allowing maintenance teams to identify and resolve issues quickly.
Wide Environmental Compatibility: Rated for operation from 0°C to +60°C, this module performs reliably in moderate industrial environments, making it suitable for indoor installations in manufacturing plants, water treatment facilities, and building automation systems. Its robust construction also withstands vibrations and shocks common in factory settings.
Flexible Programming and Configuration: Configurable via GE Fanuc software, the GE IC697MDL350 supports dynamic reallocation of output references without hardware modifications. This flexibility is critical for adapting to changing process requirements or integrating with legacy systems.
Cost-Effective Solution: By consolidating 32 outputs into a single module, the GE IC697MDL350 reduces rack space, cabling, and installation costs compared to lower-density alternatives. Its compatibility with standard industrial protocols ensures seamless integration with existing control infrastructure.
Application Areas
The GE IC697MDL350 excels in industries requiring precise control of low-power devices:
Manufacturing: Controls conveyor belt sensors, assembly line indicators, and robotic arm actuators in automotive and electronics production.
Energy: Manages solenoid valves in gas distribution systems and low-voltage monitoring in renewable energy installations.
Water Treatment: Powers small-scale aeration systems, level sensors, and chemical dosing pumps in wastewater treatment plants.
HVAC: Controls zone dampers, fan speed regulators, and thermostats in commercial building automation systems.
Packaging: Automates labeling machines, conveyor belt diverters, and material handling systems in food and beverage processing.
Its high inrush current capability and group isolation make it particularly suitable for applications where momentary voltage surges are common, such as motor startup sequences or lighting load switching.
Installation Preparation: Before installing the GE IC697MDL350, 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 (85–132 VAC). For multi-phase applications, connect each output group to a distinct AC phase to balance load distribution.
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. For long-term storage, ensure the module is kept in a dry environment between -40°C and +85°C.
Product Warranty
The GE IC697MDL350 is backed by a 1-year warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. GE Fanuc provides global technical support for installation, configuration, and troubleshooting. Replacement modules are available with 3-day delivery after payment, minimizing downtime. The product’s rigorous testing and compliance with CE, UL 508, and CSA standards ensure long-term reliability in critical industrial applications.
