GE Fanuc IC610MDL116A Series One Analog Input Module

The IC610MDL116A is a 4-channel analog input module designed for the GE Fanuc Series One Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) system. It converts continuous analog signals from field sensors—such as pressure, temperature, and flow transmitters—into 8-bit digital values for CPU processing. Utilizing successive approximation conversion, the module delivers an update time of approximately 2 ms per scan cycle across its input circuits.

Signal Conditioning and Performance

This module accepts standard industrial process signals, accommodating either 4–20 mA current loops or 1–5 V DC voltage inputs depending on field wiring configuration. Operating at 25 deg C, it maintains an overall accuracy of ±1% with a maximum linearity error of ±0.8%. The internal conversion process scales incoming field signals into binary counts, enabling the Series One processor to monitor continuous variables without requiring external signal conversion hardware.

System Integration

Engineered for direct installation into GE Fanuc Series One baseplates, the module interfaces with the CPU backplane to transfer digitized sensor data. Its 8-bit resolution splits the full-scale input range into 256 discrete levels, providing suitable resolution for standard monitoring and open-loop industrial control applications within legacy automation architectures.
