GE IC670MDL740

Specification

Input voltage range: 10V DC-30V DC;

Output voltage range: 9.2V DC-29.5V DC;

Nominal voltage: 24V DC;

Maximum output current per point: 0.5A;

Maximum output current per module: 4A;

Surge current: max 2A, last 100ms;

Output channel: 16 positive logic output channels.

Protection and diagnosis： 5A fuse in the GE IC670MDL740 protects the external power supply from being connected backward, which could damage the module and cause noise transients, and it could also detect fuse blows.

Minimum load current: 1mA per point;

Indicator: Every circuit board point is connected to a status indicator LED for the output on and off. Furthermore, the fuse in the common group is provided with an LED indicator that tells whether it has opened.

Features

Output logic and voltage range：The GE IC670MDL740 is positive logic; the high level indicates a valid state, consistent with the philosophy of mainstream control system logic conventions. For output voltage, the output voltage range is 9.2-29.5V DC and would normally work with a load voltage ranging from 10V-30V DC. Its very wide voltage range allows GE IC670MDL740 to be compatible with many different types of DC devices with differing voltage requirements; for example, providing suitable driving voltage for small relays or indicator lighting having different rated voltages.

Status indicator ：Each output point contains its own LED indicator, easily visible through the see-through portion of the upper faceplate of GE IC670MDL740, and can be used by the technician to visually determine the status of the output path during operation and is of massive help in executing on-site debug checks. For instance, when making adjustments on the automated packaging production line, the technician will, by sighting a light, quickly determine whether a given output signal is functioning properly and by extension whether the associated packaging equipment received the correct control command.

Application

Transport Field: In the system for automatic ticket generation and checking in subway and railway stations, GE IC670MDL740 can take control of the opening and closing of automatic ticket barriers. When passengers get their tickets or perform card swiping, the signals sent out by the system open the automated ticket barriers to allow the passengers to go through. In addition, in the elevator and escalator control system in the stations, GE IC670MDL740 becomes advantageous for controlling the use and cessation of movement of elevators or escalators, and enables this automatic change of operation according to the condition of the load being carried, which significantly improves the efficiency and safety of operation.

Automobile manufacturing:In the automobile assembly production line, GE IC670MDL740 can be used to control the start and stop and state switching of various equipment.  For example, GE IC670MDL740 control the start and stop of robot welding equipment. When the car body reaches the welding station, GE IC670MDL740 outputs a signal to start the robot for welding operation.  it can also control the operation of the motor on the conveyor belt to achieve accurate transportation of automobile parts between different stations.

Building automation: Elevator control in high-rise buildings. For instance,  GE IC670MDL740 comes in to control the operations of elevators, door opening and closing, and possible combinations of them. Upon a passenger pressing the elevator call button, the elevator system receives the signal and subsumes a control command to the elevator, taking it down or up and opening the doors. GE IC670MDL740 may easily support various advanced group control techniques for optimal load distribution, solving the typical problem of call handling consisting of the elevator traffic flow and elevator availability.
