GE IC697MDL241 Digital Input Module
Product Overview: GE IC697MDL241
The GE IC697MDL241 digital input module is a high-reliability industrial component designed for GE’s 90-70 Series Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs). As a key part of this advanced automation platform, the IC697MDL241 converts physical switch signals from field devices into digital data compatible with PLC processors, enabling real-time monitoring and control in industrial systems. Engineered for harsh environments, this module supports 16 isolated digital input channels and integrates seamlessly with GE’s 90-70 Series racks (e.g., IC697CHS790D), making it an essential component for manufacturing, energy, and process control applications.
Featuring a 24V DC input voltage range and opto-isolation for noise immunity, the IC697MDL241 ensures reliable signal acquisition even in electrically noisy environments. Its screw-terminal connections and hot-swappable design allow for easy installation and maintenance without system shutdown, reducing downtime in critical operations. The module’s LED status indicators provide real-time feedback on input states, while its compatibility with GE’s Proficy software enables seamless configuration and diagnostics through the PLC’s programming interface.
In automation systems, the IC697MDL241 serves as a bridge between field devices (switches, sensors, limit switches) and the PLC’s control logic. Its -40°C to +70°C operating temperature range and IP20 protection rating make it suitable for harsh industrial settings, from manufacturing plants to offshore platforms. By ensuring accurate and timely data acquisition, this module enhances system reliability and supports advanced control strategies, such as safety interlocks and process optimization.
