GE Fanuc | IC697MDL653 | Logic Discrete Input Module
Description
The GE Fanuc IC697MDL653 is a discrete input logic module designed for integration with the VersaMax and 90-70 series PLCs. It features 32 discrete input channels organized into 4 groups of 8 channels, with group isolation for enhanced signal integrity. The module supports both positive and negative logic input configurations, making it flexible for diverse industrial wiring setups. Key electrical specifications include an input voltage range of -3 to +30 VDC, input current of 10 mA at 24 VDC, and an input impedance of 2.6 kOhm. Each input channel has a rated current of 0.5 A, and the module draws 300 mA from a 5 VDC bus, with a total rated power of 5 W. It offers configurable input delay times of 1 ms or 10 ms via software, and has isolation ratings of 1500 V between individual inputs and the backplane, and 500 VDC between groups. Physically, it uses DIN rail mounting, measures 140mm x 60mm x 25mm, and weighs 200g. Operating within a temperature range of -40 degrees Celsius to +70 degrees Celsius, and a storage range of -40 degrees Celsius to +85 degrees Celsius, it handles humidity levels of 5% to 95% non-condensing, with an IP67 protection rating. The IC697MDL653 is engineered to receive digital signals from sensors, switches, and pushbuttons, converting them into PLC-readable data for monitoring and controlling industrial machinery, production lines, and automated processes.
