Product Role & System Fit
In industrial automation architectures, discrete output modules play a crucial role in translating logic decisions from a controller into real-world actions. The GE IC697MDL350 serves this role for the GE Fanuc Series 90-70 PLC platform, providing a reliable and scalable solution for driving AC loads directly from a modular control rack.
Unlike a PLC CPU that processes logic or I/O expansion cards that handle inputs, this module specifically addresses the need to switch or activate field devices — such as contactors, relays, solenoids, lamps, and other 120 VAC actuators — using programmable logic. It slots into a Series 90-70 backplane and interfaces with the system’s central controller, allowing ladder logic or function block sequences to command discrete outputs effectively.
What distinguishes the GE IC697MDL350 within a typical rack is its grouping and isolation. The 32 output points are organized into four isolated groups of eight each, enabling engineers to operate each group on a different AC phase if needed or to segment loads for safety and noise control. High inrush capacity on each output ensures that the card handles inductive loads typical of industrial equipment.
This module’s placement within the automation system is often in tandem with complementary input modules, communication bridges, and CPUs. For example, in manufacturing cells that involve conveyor systems and motorized fixtures, the CPU governs logic sequences while the GE IC697MDL350 outputs discrete voltage states to control auxiliary circuits. Its seamless integration into the Series 90-70 rack makes it a dependable building block for automation architectures that must balance capacity, performance, and maintainability.
