GE IC697MDL250F Digital Input Module
The IC697MDL250F is a 32-channel discrete sinking input module designed by General Electric for industrial PLC automation architectures. Operating at a nominal 24 VDC control voltage, the module interface processes digital status signals from field switches, proximity sensors, and logic contacts, transmitting filtered input states directly to the system backplane across a high-density 64-pin DIN connector.
Signal Conditioning and Group Isolation
The 32 sinking input channels are divided into 2 electrically isolated groups of 16 channels each. Each group supports independent field supply connections, providing high noise immunity and preventing cross-circuit interference across distinct field voltage zones. The inputs operate within a 10 to 30 VDC range, drawing a nominal 7 mA per channel at 24 VDC.
Each channel incorporates an integrated hardware filter with hardware-selectable turn-on and turn-off delays of 1 ms or 10 ms configured via onboard DIP switches. This adjustable filtering effectively suppresses contact bounce, field transients, and electromagnetic interference before logic processing.
Power Requirements and Field Wiring
The module draws 320 mA from the system's 5 VDC logic supply via the backplane. Field-side power consumption varies from 35 mA at idle up to 259 mA under full 32-channel active load at 24 VDC. Internal energy storage capacitors (totaling 0.04 Joules) maintain temporary power stability during brief field voltage dips.
Field devices wire into a front-facing 48-pin connector supporting conductor sizes from 0.2 to 2.5 mm². For centralized panel wiring, the module is compatible with IC697ACC720 and IC697ACC722 remote termination assemblies. Individual status monitoring is provided by 32 green channel LEDs alongside a main green logic power LED.
