IC670MDL740K   discrete input module

The Field Control IC670MDL740 DC Output Module is a positive logic output module from GE Fanuc. The GE IC670MDL740 Positive Logic Output Module offers a single group of 16 discrete output channels. The outputs also act as sourcing-type outputs. The responsibility of the output points is to supply current to the load by switching it to the positive side of the DC power supply. There is a 5 Amps fuse within the module to connect to the external power supply. The outputs have the capability to switch loads within the range of 10 to 30 Volts DC while providing a maximum current of 0.5 Amps per point. Each output is connected to a status indicator LED to indicate the on/off status of that output.

The IC670MDL740 Positive Logic Output Module draws 111 milliamps of maximum current from the power supply of the Bus Interface Unit. The status indicators of the module indicate blown fuse faults and if the user supply voltage is below 9.8 Volts DC. If the connection of the power supply is incorrect, it blows the fuse. This means that the fuse helps to protect the output from polarity errors in the external power supply. It also helps to protect the module against an excessive currents flowing through the output points. The user is advised to use a slow-blow type fuse with 5 Amps of current rating and a 250 Volts AC voltage rating. The module can also send the blown fuse diagnostic messages to the bus interface unit. The IC670MDL740 Positive Logic Output Module has 2 Amps of maximum inrush current, 0.5 Amps of maximum load current, and 1 milliamp of minimum load current per point.
