IC670MDL740
GE Fanuc PACSystems VersaMax Series 16-Channel Digital Output Module (Source-Type, 24 V DC) (Model: IC670MDL740)
(Model Naming Interpretation:
- IC670: Core product line prefix for GE Fanuc’s PACSystems VersaMax “I/O Modules,” denoting compatibility with VersaMax compact racks (e.g., IC670CHS001, IC670CHS004) and membership in the “670” family of cost-effective, space-saving automation components.
- MDL: Functional identifier for “Digital Output” modules (derived from “Module, Digital Output”), distinguishing it from analog or specialty I/O types in the VersaMax lineup.
- 740: Hardware configuration code; “7” specifies source-type (PNP) output topology (supplies current to actuators), “40” indicates 16 channels and 24 V DC signal level—with each channel supporting up to 0.5 A continuous current (suitable for most industrial low-power actuators).
- Core Positioning: The “compact digital output hub for VersaMax systems,” providing high-density, cost-effective control of discrete actuators—ideal for applications where space and budget are constrained but reliability is non-negotiable (e.g., small manufacturing machines, packaging lines). )
2. Product Description
