IC697MDL940 Functional Description

The IC697MDL940 is a relay output module designed for the GE Fanuc Series 90-70 Programmable Logic Controller (PLC). It offers 16 output channels, consisting of 8 Form C contact outputs and 8 Form A contact outputs, which are split into two groups of four. The module supports both AC and DC operation, with a voltage range of 120/240 VAC or 5/24/125 VDC. The maximum power consumption for AC loads is 480 VA, and for DC loads, it is 60 watts. Each output channel has a maximum response time of 10 milliseconds, and when connected to inductive loads, the switching frequency is 20 cycles per minute.

The IC697MDL940 relay output module has a maximum load current of 2.0 amps for AC (5 to 265 VAC), 2.0 amps for DC (5 to 30 VDC), and 0.2 amps for DC (31 to 125 VDC and 31 to 150 VDC, applicable only to Form A contact outputs). Its minimum load current is 10 milliamps. The relay design features fixed coils and moving armatures, and the output contacts are made from silver alloy with a maximum contact resistance of 0.2 ohms. The expected mechanical operation life of the contacts is 20 million cycles, and the electrical life is 1 million cycles under resistive-inductive load conditions. Additionally, each output channel is protected by a 3-amp fuse and a snubber circuit consisting of a 47-ohm resistor and a 0.015 µF capacitor.

The IC697MDL940 relay output module also offers an isolation voltage rating of 1500 volts, making it suitable for high-voltage applications. The module’s overall switching frequency is designed to handle up to 20 cycles per minute for inductive loads. It is ideal for use in automation systems where both AC and DC voltage control is required, providing reliable and long-lasting performance.

In summary, the IC697MDL940 relay output module relay output module offers robust protection, efficient switching capabilities, and high durability, making it a vital component for GE Fanuc PLC systems in demanding industrial environments.
