The GE Fanuc IC697MDL753 is a 32-point negative logic (sinking) discrete output module engineered for high-density load control within GE Fanuc Series 90-70 PLC systems. It provides two isolated groups of 16 output points capable of operating across a wide DC voltage range from 5 VDC (TTL levels) up to 10–60 VDC. Designed to drive a broad spectrum of industrial loads, the module accommodates high transient inrush currents while maintaining precise logic control via its dedicated status LEDs and software-configurable I/O references.
Output Point Density and Voltage Flexibility
The IC697MDL753 features 32 discrete output circuits arranged into two electrically isolated groups of 16 points. Each output group can operate at standard 5 VDC TTL levels or be powered by an external 10 to 60 VDC supply. In negative logic configuration, the module switches the negative side of the DC load circuit. Optical isolation rated at 1500 V between outputs and backplane, plus 500 V between output groups, protects the PLC rack logic from field-side voltage transients and ground loops.
Current Ratings and Load Handling
Continuous output current capacity is rated at 0.5 A per point at 10 to 60 VDC (or 16 mA per point at 5 VDC TTL level). To prevent internal thermal overload, total current per 16-point group is capped at 4.0 A. The module tolerates surge inrush currents up to 5.0 A for 20 ms, making it suitable for driving inductive loads, small solenoids, and incandescent indicators that display high startup current surges.
Slot Keying and Wiring Terminal Integration
Field wiring connects to a removable terminal board attached to the front of the module. The terminal block accepts wire sizes from AWG #22 (0.36 mm²) up to AWG #14 (2.10 mm²), supporting up to two wires per terminal if they share identical gauge sizes. Physical slot keying latches onto the rack's center rail during initial installation to prevent accidental insertion of an incorrect module type during maintenance replacement.

Field Installation Guidelines
Maintain at least 6 inches (150 mm) of free clearance above and below the rack grill to support natural convection cooling. Before replacing the terminal board, ensure the system power is turned off to avoid shorting adjacent field terminals. Secure field wire bundles with cable ties to prevent strain on the terminal connections.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can the IC697MDL753 be used with 24 VDC sinking output circuits? A: Yes. The module supports output voltages from 10 to 60 VDC for sinking loads, allowing direct operation on standard 24 VDC field supplies up to 0.5 A per output point.
Q: How does mechanical keying work on this Series 90-70 slot module?A: Upon first insertion, the included mechanical key hooks onto the rack center rail. When the module is extracted, the key remains on the rail to block physical insertion of a different module type in that slot.
Q: Is jumper setting required to configure output addresses? A: No. Output I/O references for the IC697MDL753 are fully software-configurable via the programming software without set jumpers or DIP switches.
