SPECIFICATIONS
Part No.: IC200MDL632D
Manufacturer: General Electric
Country of Manufacture: United States of America (USA)
Product Type: Discrete Input Module
Availability: In Stock
Series: VersaMax
Functional Description
IC200MDL632D is a discrete input module developed by GE. It is part of the Mark I and II control system. It is a discrete input module from the VersaMax series manufactured by GE Fanuc. This module is designed to facilitate the connection of discrete input devices, providing critical input data to the control system.
Features
- Discrete Inputs: Offers 16 discrete remote inputs. These inputs can be configured as either:
- Positive Logic Inputs: Receive power directly from the input devices.
- Negative Logic Inputs: Receive power from the return path, returning it to the input device.
- Input Terminals and Returns: Input devices connect to the module through input and return terminals, allowing for clear and efficient data transmission from external sources.
- Power Supply: The module is powered via the backplane, which provides the necessary power for operation and communication. For the LEDs to function and display the status of each input, backplane power must be available.
- Status Indicators: Each of the 16 input points is equipped with an individual green LED. These LEDs visually indicate the on/off state of each input point, providing a quick reference for status monitoring.
Performance Specifications
- Input Response Time: The module has a basic input on/off response time of 0.5 milliseconds. This rapid response ensures that the system can react quickly to changes in input states.
- Filtering Requirements: Depending on the application, additional filtering might be necessary to address noise spikes or switch bounce, which can affect the accuracy of input readings.
- Point Capacity and Factors: The number of points that can be active simultaneously is influenced by various factors including:
- External Voltage: The voltage supplied to the input devices.
- Ambient Temperature: The operating environment temperature.
- Module Orientation: How the module is positioned on the DIN rail.
- Voltage Rating: supports inputs up to 125 VDC without requiring derating. This means it can handle high voltage inputs effectively without a reduction in performance.
Installation and Use
- Mounting and Wiring: should be correctly mounted on a DIN rail and wired according to the system�s requirements. Ensure proper connections to the input and return terminals for reliable operation.
- Power Considerations: Ensure that the backplane provides stable and adequate power to the module. Inconsistent power can affect the functionality of the status LEDs and overall module performance.
- Application Suitability: This module is suitable for a range of industrial applications where discrete input monitoring is required. Its high input voltage rating and fast response time make it versatile for various control systems.
