Description
Overview
The IC670MDL930 discrete output module is part of GE’s Field Control family and provides eight relay‑based output channels for switching industrial loads. Designed for durability and consistent performance, the module supports a wide range of electromechanical devices and is well‑suited for distributed control architectures.
Output Design and Performance
Each channel uses a silver‑alloy relay contact with a fixed‑coil, moving‑armature mechanism engineered for long service life. The module supports switching rates of approximately 20 operations per minute under typical load conditions. Built‑in snubber circuitry protects the relay contacts from transient voltages, eliminating the need for internal fuses.
The IC670MDL930 can withstand inrush currents up to 5 A for short durations (20 ms), making it suitable for inductive loads such as solenoids and small motors. Minimum load requirements are 10 mA per channel, and the module draws approximately 313 mA from the BIU power supply.
Status Indication and Integration
Each output channel includes an individual LED indicator, providing immediate visual confirmation of output state. A dedicated power LED confirms module readiness. The module operates across a frequency range of 47–63 Hz and is built with rugged materials to withstand harsh industrial environments.
As part of the FANUC Field Control system, the IC670MDL930 integrates seamlessly with distributed I/O networks, offering compact dimensions and maintenance‑free operation for long‑term reliability.
