Description
Product Overview
The GE IC694MDL250 is a high-performance 120V AC isolated input module designed for GE’s PACSystems RX3i platform, a leading industrial automation solution. Engineered to deliver reliable signal acquisition in demanding environments, this module features 16 isolated input channels, each capable of handling voltages up to 132V AC with built-in RC snubbers to suppress transient noise. The isolation design ensures protection against electrical interference, making it ideal for applications where signal integrity is critical, such as automotive assembly lines or chemical processing plants.
As part of the RX3i ecosystem, the GE IC694MDL250 integrates seamlessly with GE’s RX3i CPUs (version 3.50 or later) and supports flexible configuration through software-based input filtering (20ms to 2540ms adjustable). Its compact form factor and rugged construction allow installation in any I/O slot of the RX3i chassis, providing scalability for systems ranging from small-scale machinery to large industrial complexes. Key features include individually numbered LED indicators for real-time status monitoring and a terminal block (TB) lock detection system, which uses a green LED to confirm secure connections and a red LED to alert users of loose terminals.

Installation and Maintenance
Pre-installation Preparations: Before installing the GE IC694MDL250, ensure the RX3i chassis is powered off and disconnected from the mains. Verify compatibility with the RX3i CPU (version 3.50 or later) and inspect the module for physical damage, such as bent pins or cracked housing. Clean the chassis connectors and terminal block slots to ensure a secure fit.
Maintenance Suggestions: Regularly check the module’s LED indicators for 异常 status (e.g., constant red TB LED) and inspect terminals for loose connections. Dust accumulation on the module’s surface should be removed using a dry, lint-free cloth to maintain optimal cooling. During system shutdowns, visually inspect the isolation barriers and snubber components for signs of wear. If replacement is needed, power down the system and follow GE’s guidelines for safe module removal and installation.
