GE IC697MDL241 Discrete Input Module

Overview

The GE IC697MDL241 is a 120 VAC discrete input module designed for Series 90-70 PLC systems. It provides 16 optically isolated input points for reliable high-voltage signal detection. The module supports proximity switches and monitors ON/OFF signals from field devices. It features software-configurable settings, eliminating the need for DIP switches. LED indicators provide real-time feedback for each input and group faults. The module mounts in a 6U VME slot and supports hot swapping for easy maintenance.
