SPECIFICATIONS

Part No.: IC200MDL330
Manufacturer: General Electric
Country of Manufacture: United States of America (USA)
Product Type: Discrete Output Module
Availability: In Stock
Series: VersaMax

Functional Description

IC200MDL330 is a discrete output module developed by GE Fanuc as part of its VersaMax Series. This module provides 16 isolated outputs, which are crucial for sending control signals to various devices, including contractors, indicator lamps, and interposing relays. These outputs ensure the effective operation of connected devices within an industrial control system.

Features

• Power Requirements and Module Compatibility: The module requires a compatible carrier base, specifically the CHSxxx, and relies on an external power supply for operation. The external power supply needed is 120 Volts AC, which is responsible for switching power to the connected loads. The module’s intelligent processes are managed by the system's CPU (Central Processing Unit) or NIU (Network Interface Unit), which handles the logical operations and control commands sent to the outputs.
• LED Indicators and Status Monitoring: Each output point on the module is equipped with an individual green LED indicator. These LEDs are logic-driven and reflect the on/off state of each output, independent of the load’s condition. This feature allows operators to easily monitor the status of each output point. Additionally, a green "OK" LED is present on the module, which lights up when backplane power is detected, confirming that the module is receiving power and is ready for operation.
• Wiring Considerations and External Suppression: When wiring the outputs to inductive loads, such as relays or motors, it is highly recommended to use external suppression circuits. These circuits help to manage voltage spikes and reduce the potential for electrical noise, which can cause damage to the module or interfere with its operation.
• Thermal Derating and Operational Limits: Thermal derating is a crucial factor to consider when operating the module. The number of output points that can be simultaneously active depends on several factors, including the external voltage applied, the ambient temperature of the environment, and the physical orientation of the module and its DIN rail. These factors must be managed carefully to prevent overheating and ensure reliable operation.
