The GE Fanuc IC697MDL653 is a high-density discrete input module designed for the Series 90-70 Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) architecture. This module provides 32 isolated input points, allowing for the simultaneous monitoring of 24 VDC discrete signals from a wide array of field devices such as pushbuttons, limit switches, and proximity sensors. By consolidating 32 points into a single slot, the IC697MDL653 optimizes rack space and reduces hardware overhead in large-scale industrial automation environments.
Engineered for industrial flexibility, the IC697MDL653 is compatible with both positive and negative logic (sinking and sourcing) configurations. One of its standout technical features is the user-selectable input filter, which can be configured for either 1 ms or 10 ms response times. This allows engineers to effectively mitigate the effects of contact bounce and electrical noise on signal integrity. The module is organized into four isolated groups of eight points each, providing superior electrical protection and minimizing the risk of cross-channel interference in mission-critical process industries.
