GE IC200MDL650F IC200MDL650L IC200MDL650H Discrete Input Module

Overview

The GE Fanuc IC200MDL650F is a high-density 32-point discrete input module from the VersaMax PLC series, engineered for precise monitoring of 24VDC signals in modern automation systems. It supports both sourcing and sinking logic wiring, giving engineers flexibility in system design. Moreover, its compact structure and reliable isolation make it a preferred choice for space-constrained control panels and distributed I/O architectures.

This module integrates seamlessly into GE Fanuc VersaMax I/O systems, ensuring consistent signal integrity and low-latency response. It is ideal for demanding industrial environments where consistent digital signal processing and robust performance are essential.

Functional Highlights

• High-density design with 32 discrete input points for compact installations.

• Flexible logic wiring, supporting both positive (sourcing) and negative (sinking) inputs.

• Fast input response time of 0.5 ms for accurate, real-time signal detection.

• Four isolated input groups, each with its own common terminal for wiring convenience.

• Software-configurable filter settings (0 ms, 1.0 ms, 7.0 ms) to adapt to various noise environments.

• Integrated status LEDs provide instant visual feedback for each input channel.

• Low power consumption, drawing only 50 mA from the backplane.

Technical Specifications

Typical Applications

The IC200MDL650F is designed for a broad range of industrial automation systems where high-density digital input monitoring is needed. Typical use cases include:

• Factory automation systems for sensor and switch input monitoring.

FAQ

Q1: Can this module mix sourcing and sinking inputs in one group?
A1: No. Each group supports only one logic type (sourcing or sinking) at a time.

Q2: Is this module compatible with older VersaMax systems?
A2: Yes. The IC200MDL650F is fully backward-compatible with existing VersaMax I/O racks and CPUs.

Q3: What is the main difference between the IC200MDL650B and IC200MDL650F?
A3: The IC200MDL650F provides improved filtering options and enhanced noise immunity compared to earlier models.

Q4: Does it require an external power supply?
A4: No. It draws its operating power directly from the VersaMax backplane.

Q5: How can I configure filter time settings?
A5: Filter settings (0 ms, 1.0 ms, or 7.0 ms) are adjustable through VersaPro or Proficy Machine Edition software.
