Detailed data
GE IC670MDL241 Discrete Input Module
The 240VAC Input Module (IC670MDL241) provides two isolated groups of 8 discrete inputs each.
Module Operation
A resistor and capacitor network determines the input thresholds and provides input filtering. Opto-isolators provide isolation between the field inputs and the module's logic components. Data for all 16 inputs is placed into a data buffer. The module's circuit LEDs display the current status of the 16 inputs in this data buffer.
The parallel-to-serial converter converts the input data of the data buffer into the serial format required by the bus interface unit.
After checking the board ID and confirming that the module is receiving proper logic power from the BUI (the state of the module power LED reflects this), the BUI reads the filtered and converted input data.
Field Wiring
The I/O terminal block wiring assignments for this module are shown below. Inputs 1 to 8 are one isolated group and inputs 9 to 16 are another isolated group. If isolation is required, each isolated group must have its own power supply. If isolation is not required, a single power supply can be used for all 16 inputs.
Terminal blocks with box-style terminals have 25 terminals per module, each terminal accommodating one wire from AWG #14 (average cross-sectional area 2.1mm 2) to AWG #22 (average cross-sectional area 0.36mm 2), or two wires up to AWG #18 (average cross-sectional area 0.86mm 2). When using external jumpers, the wire capacity is reduced from AWG #14 (2.10mm 2) to AWG #16 (1.32mm 2).
The I/O Terminal Block with barrier terminals has 18 terminals per module. Each terminal can accommodate one or two wires up to AWG #14 (avg 2.1mm 2 cross section).
I/O Wiring Terminal Blocks with Connectors Each module has a 20-pin male connector. The mating connector is Amp part number 178289-8. Any tin plated contacts in the AMP D-3000 series can be used with the connector (Amp part numbers 1-175217-5 for high contact force sockets for 20-24 gauge (0.20-0.56 mm 2) wire and 1-175218-5 for high contact force sockets for 16-20 gauge (0.56-1.42 mm 2)).
