Product Description
The IC697MDL653 module is a key component in GE Fanuc’s Series 90-70 programmable logic controller (PLC) systems, widely used in manufacturing, automotive production, and industrial process control. Its primary function is to receive and process digital input signals from field devices such as limit switches, proximity sensors, pushbuttons, and relay contacts, converting these discrete signals into a format readable by the PLC’s central processing unit (CPU). This enables the PLC to monitor the status of equipment and processes, triggering control logic (e.g., starting a motor or stopping a conveyor) based on input conditions.
