Scalable I\/O density is achieved through the 16-point terminal interface, supporting both positive and negative logic sensing for alternating and direct current field inputs. Onboard logic circuits draw 80 mA from the internal 5 VDC backplane bus alongside 125 mA from the 24 VDC supply. Firmware flash compatibility ensures seamless address allocation during CPU rack mapping and remote I\/O execution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQ: What are the backplane current requirements for the IC694MDL241 input module?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: The module draws 80 mA from the 5 VDC backplane bus and 125 mA from the 24 VDC power supply bus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQ: Does the IC694MDL241 support both AC and DC input signals?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: Yes, the 16 input points accept both 24 VAC (at 50\/60 Hz frequency) and 24 VDC signals in positive or negative logic configurations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQ: What are the environmental operating and storage humidity constraints for this module?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: The module is specified for 0 to 80% relative humidity (non-condensing) in both operating and storage conditions, at altitudes up to 1000 m MSL.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eField Installation Guidelines\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisconnect backplane rack power and isolate external 24 VAC\/VDC field loop circuits before inserting or removing the module.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlign the module housing edge guides with the desired slot in the PACSystems RX3i baseplate and insert the unit until the rear connector seats firmly into the backplane.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFasten the top and bottom mounting tabs or screws to maintain mechanical rigidity and verify proper chassis grounding contact.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoute AC\/DC signal wiring to terminal blocks separate from high-voltage power leads to limit electromagnetic noise coupling.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnect input field wiring according to the intended positive or negative logic topology, ensuring compliance with the 24 VAC\/VDC voltage boundaries.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"GE Fanuc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43736424775770,"sku":"IC694MDL241","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/5957\/0778\/files\/IC694MDL241.png?v=1785124415","url":"https:\/\/www.spareoil.com\/products\/ic694mdl241-ge-fanuc-pacsystems-rx3i-discrete-input-module","provider":"SpareOil Automation","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
