GE IC697MDL653

Usage Parameters

Input Channels: The GE IC697MDL653 digital input module is a device containing thirty-two discrete input channels for a variety of industrial applications. These channels are divided into four groups of eight channels each. The operating voltage and current rating is 24 VDC. Each input channel consumes 10.0 mA current. The total module current consumption for a 5 VDC bus is 300 mA.

Input Voltage Range: From -3 VDC to 30 VDC, allowing external inputs to be connected to more general devices and sensors.

Conduction and Off-state Parameters: The conduction voltage range is 13.5 to 30 volts, and the conduction current range is 6 mA to 15 mA. The off-state voltage range is from 0 to 5 V, and the off-state current range is from 0 to 2 mA (when the input is 5 V, the minimum is 2 mA).

Input Delay Time: Each input may be delayed by 1 or 10 ms, either case, which can be achieved through user programming or configuration.

Isolation Voltage: The isolation of a single channel from the backplane is 1500 V, and the isolation between groups is 500 VDC; ensuring operational reliability and preventing electrical interference.

Product Features

Signal Acquisition and Conversion: The main function of IC697MDL653 is to receive digital input signals from various field devices, including limit switches, buttons, photoelectric sensors, and proximity switches. It converts these physical input signals, which are usually a series of on/off states, into digital signals that the programmable logic controller (PLC) can understand and process. This enables the PLC to monitor the conditions of various elements in factory operations.

Positive/Negative Logic Compatibility: An interesting feature of IC697MDL653 is its ability to support positive or negative logic wiring. This increases its flexibility in connecting various input devices and making full use of control logic suitable for some specific applications. With it, users can easily wire it or configure it as a sensor or switch suitable for the input.

Input Filter and Interrupt Configuration: The IC697MDL653 has been equipped with a selectable input filter time constant of 1 or 10 milliseconds. Its purpose is to help suppress electrical noise and other unwanted signal fluctuations to maintain the accuracy and reliability of the input signal. In addition, it should also be easy to configure one of the input channels as an interrupt, which can issue an immediate service request based on certain input conditions and preset parameters.

Status Indication: The IC697MDL653 is equipped with LED indicators on the panel. The LED clearly indicates the on/off status of each input point on the PLC side of the circuit, allowing users to remotely sense the operability of the connected equipment and thus the overall operation of the input module.

User-Configurable Quick Setup: Users can select input/output references with little or no jumpers or dip switches, which simplifies setup and configuration for various engineering requirements. As a result, engineers find it easier to install these modules into various control systems and applications.

Applications

Industrial Manufacturing: In manufacturing organizations, this module is used to monitor and control the functions of production machinery such as the position of workpieces on conveyor belts, machine tool operability, and the opening and closing of machine housing doors. Regardless of the way these devices generate input signals, the PLC can manipulate the production process to ensure that the operation sequence is correct and any hazards are avoided.

Process Control: This module is also capable of monitoring process parameters such as temperature, pressure, and flow switching devices in chemical and pharmaceutical plants. Based on such input generation signals, the control system can manipulate process parameters to maintain the required production conditions and ensure product processing quality.

Energy Management: For energy management systems, this module helps to maintain the monitoring status of electrical equipment such as switches, circuit breakers, and motors. This helps the system monitor energy consumption, detect abnormal power usage, and save energy by providing on-demand control of various equipment.

Building Automation: IC697MDL653 can be used for automation of building facilities, whether it is lighting systems, air conditioning units, or access control systems. This enables automated facilities to achieve smart building responses, improving operational efficiency and occupant comfort.
