Technical Overview
The GE IC697MDL653 is a 32-point discrete input module for the Series 90-70 programmable logic controller platform. This module accepts both positive and negative logic DC inputs, making it highly versatile for various field device connections. It organizes its 32 inputs into four isolated groups of eight points each, effectively reducing electrical noise between different signal sources. You can configure the input filter delay time to either 1 ms or 10 ms through the programming software, allowing you to balance noise immunity against response speed for your specific application . One input channel can function as a hardware interrupt when you use the module with a GE IC696 PLC, enabling time-critical event handling .
The GE IC697MDL653 features a 1500V isolation barrier between the input channels and the backplane, along with 500V isolation between input groups, ensuring robust protection against voltage transients . You perform all configuration tasks through MS-DOS or Windows-based programming software, eliminating the need for DIP switches or jumpers on the module .
