Discrete Input Modules | GE Fanuc IC200MDL240J

The IC200MDL240J is a 16-point AC discrete input module engineered for the GE Fanuc VersaMax PLC system. Operating at a nominal 120 VAC, this module senses ON/OFF discrete signals from field switches and sensors across industrial automation and machine control environments.

Input Characteristics and Signal Handling

The module provides 16 input channels arranged in two isolated groups of 8 points each. It features an operating input voltage range of 0–132 VAC at 47–63 Hz, with an ON-state voltage threshold from 70 VAC to 132 VAC and a maximum OFF-state voltage of 40 VAC. Optical isolation between groups provides 1500 VAC protection for one minute and 250 VAC continuous isolation, protecting control backplanes from high-voltage line transients.

System Integration and Status Monitoring

Designed for snap-in mounting on standard DIN rails or direct panel mounting, the module draws up to 110 mA from the VersaMax backplane logic supply. Front-panel status indication includes 16 individual green LEDs displaying real-time input logic states, along with a dedicated LED indicating active backplane communications.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How are the 16 AC input channels grouped on the IC200MDL240J module? A: The 16 channels are divided into two isolated groups of 8 points each, allowing different AC power sources or line phases to be wired to separate groups.

Q: What are the ON-state and OFF-state voltage limits for this 120 VAC input module? A: The module recognizes an ON state between 70 VAC and 132 VAC (minimum 7 mA) and an OFF state between 0 VAC and 40 VAC (maximum 1.5 mA).
