GE Fanuc IC697MDL350 Series 90-70 Discrete Output Module
Description
Configured for discrete AC switching and load actuation in GE Fanuc Series 90-70 systems, the GE Fanuc IC697MDL350 (IC697MDL350 Discrete Output Module) provides direct physical/electrical execution. This board provides 32 solid-state AC output channels arranged in four isolated groups of eight points. Designed for high-density discrete signal routing, it drives inductive field loads including industrial solenoids, contactors, and status indicators without external relay interfaces.

Backplane Bus Communication Velocity & Firmware Integration
The IC697MDL350 interfaces directly with the GE Fanuc Series 90-70 VME64-based high-speed backplane architecture. High-density I/O status processing occurs synchronously with CPU scan execution, maintaining high backplane bus communication velocity across all 32 output channels. Channel configuration requires no physical DIP switches or hardware jumpers; parameter assignment and fault diagnostics are managed electronically through MS-DOS or Windows-based programming software over SNP or Ethernet TCP/IP links.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does the module support individual channel fusing or group fusing?
A: The module utilizes group fusing. The 32 output channels are split into four isolated groups of eight points, with each group protected by a top-mounted 5 A fuse.
Q: What is the maximum peak current handling capacity for high inductive loads?
A: Each individual output point supports an inrush surge capacity of approximately 20 times the rated 0.5 A current, permitting direct connection to heavy solenoids and motor starters.
Field Installation Guidelines
- Ensure the Series 90-70 rack power supply is disconnected before inserting or removing the I/O module from the backplane slot.
- Verify mechanical keying on the backplane slot to prevent improper insertion of mismatched module types.
- Wire the 32 discrete outputs according to group power distribution rules, maintaining proper AC phase isolation across the four separate groups.
- Dress field wiring neatly within the terminal board cavity, ensuring signal conductors are separated from high-voltage lines to minimize noise coupling.
- Verify that top-mounted 5 A fuses are fully seated and test continuity prior to commissioning under load.
