Description
Description
The IC655MDL580A is a Versamax series relay output module manufactured by General Electric (GE Fanuc). This module provides 16 discrete output points, designed for reliable switching of field devices in industrial control applications. Each output point is equipped with an individual LED indicator to provide real-time status monitoring of the output state.
Features
- 16 Normally Open (N.O.) relay output points.
- Individual LED status indicators for each output channel.
- Integrated 20-point terminal block for secure field wiring.
- Designed for integration within the Versamax I/O system architecture.
- Keying positions set to A3 and B1 to ensure correct module placement.
