Description

Product Description

The IC200MDL741 by GE Fanuc (Emerson) is a 16-channel 120 VAC discrete output module engineered for reliable AC load control in VersaMax PLC systems. Utilizing triac-based solid-state outputs, this module delivers long operational life, fast switching, and enhanced reliability compared to mechanical relay solutions.

Each channel is equipped with a dedicated LED for immediate status monitoring, while the OK and Field Power (FLD PWR) LEDs provide system health diagnostics. Group-to-backplane isolation ensures robust noise immunity and protects the PLC logic from field-side disturbances. The module is compatible with all VersaMax I/O carriers and can be mounted on DIN rails or panels for flexible installation.

FAQ

Q: Can this module drive inductive loads?
A: Yes, but use external snubbers or suppression circuits to protect the triac outputs.

Q: Does the module require external power for logic operation?
A: No, all logic power is supplied via the VersaMax backplane; field power is only needed for load operation.

Q: What type of isolation does this module provide?
A: Group-to-backplane isolation protects PLC logic from noise and voltage spikes on the output channels.
