Product Overview
The GE IC697MDL350RR is a high-reliability Redundant Discrete Output Module engineered for mission-critical industrial automation systems, leveraging the proven GE Fanuc Series 90-70 platform. Building on the foundational design of the GE IC697MDL350, this redundant variant 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. The GE IC697MDL350RR introduces dual relay contacts per output channel, providing hardware-level redundancy to ensure continuous operation even in the event of a single-point failure. This design is critical for applications where downtime is costly, such as oil and gas refining, power generation, and pharmaceutical manufacturing.
Featuring a dual relay configuration for each output, the GE IC697MDL350RR allows seamless failover between primary and secondary relays, maintaining output continuity during faults. Each relay is protected by a 5 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 relay states and fuse health, enabling rapid fault diagnosis. With compatibility across a wide input voltage range (85–132 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 0°C to +60°C, the GE IC697MDL350RR 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 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. This flexibility is critical for integrating with legacy systems or scaling operations.
High-Density Design: Consolidating 32 outputs into a single module reduces rack space, cabling, and installation costs compared to lower-density alternatives. The four isolated groups enable multi-phase AC applications, ideal for distributed control systems.
Application Areas
The GE IC697MDL350RR 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 IC697MDL350RR, 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, ensuring parallel wiring for failover capability.
