GE IC200MDL240J 16-Point AC Discrete Input Module

Description

The GE IC200MDL240J is a 16-point AC discrete input module from the VersaMax I/O series, designed for precision signal acquisition in industrial control systems. It reliably detects 120VAC input signals from field devices such as limit switches, sensors, and contactors. Built for harsh environments, this module ensures long-term stability, consistent performance, and easy integration into GE Fanuc VersaMax PLC systems.

Each input channel operates with positive logic, meaning the input is ON when voltage is present. Moreover, the module features two isolated input groups, improving flexibility and safety in complex wiring setups. Its compact design and robust isolation make it a trusted solution for machine automation and distributed control systems.

Functional Highlights

• High Reliability: Designed for stable operation in demanding industrial environments.

• Flexible Grouping: Two groups of eight input channels for optimized wiring.

• Clear Diagnostics: Each input has an individual LED indicator for quick status verification.

• No External Power Required: Powered directly through the backplane, simplifying installation.

• High Isolation: Electrical isolation between groups ensures protection from noise and interference.

• Fast Response Time: One-cycle ON response supports time-critical control applications.
