GE Fanuc IC697MDL940 Relay Output Module

Description

The GE Fanuc IC697MDL940 is a relay output module belonging to the GE Fanuc 90-70 Series of PLC components. It is a 16-point DC discrete logic output module with transistor switch outputs, designed to work with 24/48V DC industrial loads. Its core function is to convert logic signals from a PLC into drive signals, enabling control of DC loads such as solenoid valves, contactor coils, and indicator lights. Typical application scenarios include manufacturing production lines, process control systems, and equipment linkage control setups.

Key technical specifications include 5/48 VDC output, 0.5 amp capacity, and negative logic for 32 points. Mechanically, it is a single-slot digital output module with a double Eurocard structure, compatible with standard 90-70 Series racks and backplane buses, and supports hot swapping when configured with redundant systems. When paired with the 90-70 Series’ 90-watt, 24 VDC power module, it benefits from three output voltage options: +5 VDC up to 18 amps, +12 VDC up to 1.5 amps, and -12 VDC up to 1 amp, along with electronic short-circuit overcurrent protection on the 5-volt bus and support for operating two racks via a single power supply.
