The module processes field signals from pushbuttons, limit switches, and proximity switches across 16 individually isolated input points. Featuring capacitive input circuitry to limit internal thermal dissipation, each point includes a 20 ms input filter time to suppress field contact bounce and electrical line noise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHardware Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cfigure class=\"table\"\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eParameter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecification\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIC697MDL241\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGeneral Electric\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOrigin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUSA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.57 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStandard Series 90-70 Single-Slot Form Factor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOperating Temp\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0 to 60 deg C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePower Consumption\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.25 A from 5 VDC backplane\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOperating Voltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e240 VAC (60 Hz)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInput Points\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16 points (Individually Isolated)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOn-State Current\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10 mA typical\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOff-State Current\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5 mA maximum leakage current\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInput Filter Time\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20 ms\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStatus Indicators\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16 Logic-side status LEDs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eI\/O Density Scaling \u0026amp; Backplane Bus Integrity\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe IC697MDL241 integrates into the Series 90-70 parallel backplane architecture without requiring physical DIP switches or manual jumpers for address allocation. Software-driven I\/O reference mapping simplifies system expansion and maintains backplane bus communication velocity across high-density I\/O chassis layouts. The capacitive input network limits current draw while maintaining compliance with IEC reactive current-voltage characteristics, ensuring reliable interoperation with 2-wire and 3-wire AC proximity switches without causing false logic states or compromising backplane firmware flash compatibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQ: How is the IC697MDL241 module addressed and configured within the host PLC system?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: Software configuration eliminates physical switches or jumpers.
