The GE Fanuc Emerson IC697MDL340 is an output module that includes sixteen output points that deliver a voltage rating range from 85 volts AC to 132 volts AC at a frequency range from 47 hertz to 63 hertz. The module outputs are grouped into four well-isolated groups of four outputs that are labeled with green LED indicators to show the on/off status of outputs with common power terminals. This module employs the backplane optical isolation offered by optocouplers to provide electrical isolation of 500 volts AC continuously between logic and field sides and 1500 volts AC for one minute. The IC697MDL340 can be easily mounted in any input or output slots of the Field Control system. The output module provides an on response time of 1 millisecond and an off response time of 0.5 milliseconds. The module has another LED indicator labeled “FUSE OK” that indicates the fuse state of outputs. This device can be employed with Series 90-70 PLCs for incandescent and inductive loads.

The IC697MDL340 draws a current of 250 milliamperes at a backplane voltage of 5 volts DC. The module outputs deliver a current of 2 amperes per point. The IC697MDL340 has an output voltage drop of 3 volts and a leakage current of 1.5 milliamperes. This output module doesn’t require DIP switches or jumpers to be programmed and configured. This device can be programmed and configured with either MS-DOS or Windows through either the Ethernet TCP/IP or the SNP port. The module groups have a fuse with a current rating of 10 amperes. The device supports an inrush current of 20 amperes for 20 milliseconds. The IC697MDL340 weighs approximately 650 grams (1.43 pounds) while shipping and operates at 0 degrees to 60 degrees Celsius (32 degrees to 140 degrees Fahrenheit) for industrial applications.
