GE IC670MDL740J Product Specification
Product Overview
The GE IC670MDL740J is a high-reliability 16-channel digital input module designed for GE’s Series 90-70 Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) platform. Engineered to handle discrete voltage signals in industrial automation systems, the GE IC670MDL740J serves as a critical interface between field devices (e.g., switches, sensors) and the PLC, enabling real-time data acquisition for process control and monitoring. Part of GE’s legacy IC670 series, this module combines robust hardware with advanced signal conditioning, ensuring stable operation in harsh environments typical of manufacturing, power generation, and oil & gas sectors.
Featuring 16 isolated channels compatible with 24 VDC inputs, the GE IC670MDL740J supports high-speed signal processing with a response time of <10 ms. Its 光电隔离 (opto-isolation) design protects the PLC from electrical transients, while built-in diagnostics monitor channel health and power status. The module’s compact form factor (178 mm × 102 mm × 254 mm) and DIN rail mounting facilitate easy integration into control panels, while its wide operating temperature range (-40°C to +70°C) ensures durability in extreme conditions.
In automation architectures, the GE IC670MDL740J acts as a frontline data acquisition component, converting physical switch states or sensor outputs into digital signals for the PLC’s central processor. Its compatibility with GE’s VersaPro programming software allows engineers to configure input filtering, debounce time, and alarm thresholds, enhancing system flexibility. By combining reliable performance with ease of integration, the GE IC670MDL740J empowers industries to optimize process efficiency, reduce downtime, and maintain regulatory compliance.

Main Features and Advantages
High-Density Signal Acquisition: With 16 isolated channels, the GE IC670MDL740J maximizes input capacity in compact control panels, reducing the need for additional modules and simplifying wiring. This density is ideal for applications requiring simultaneous monitoring of multiple discrete signals, such as conveyor systems or complex manufacturing lines.
Robust Electrical Isolation: The module’s opto-isolation design safeguards the PLC from voltage spikes and ground loops, ensuring reliable operation even in environments with high electromagnetic interference (EMI). This feature minimizes the risk of data corruption and equipment damage, enhancing system uptime.
Configurable Signal Processing: Through GE’s VersaPro software, users can adjust input filtering (1–100 ms) and debounce time to eliminate false signals from noisy industrial environments. This flexibility allows the GE IC670MDL740J to adapt to diverse field conditions, from high-speed packaging machines to slow-moving industrial valves.
Real-Time Diagnostics: Front-panel LED indicators provide instant feedback on channel status (power, input active, fault), enabling quick troubleshooting. The module also supports diagnostic reporting via the Genius Bus, allowing remote monitoring of channel health and performance metrics.
Wide Environmental Tolerance: Built to withstand extreme temperatures and humidity, the GE IC670MDL740J performs reliably in harsh settings like offshore platforms, steel mills, and chemical plants. Its rugged construction eliminates the need for additional environmental conditioning, reducing installation and maintenance costs.
