GE Fanuc IC200MDL243

The IC200MDL243 is a 120 VAC Discrete Input Module from the GE Fanuc VersaMax series, featuring 16 isolated input points configured for positive logic or sourcing types. This module is designed to receive current from AC input devices, with the return current routed through individual common terminals. The device is powered via the backplane, requiring a CPU or Network Interface Unit (NIU) for intelligent processing. Each input point is equipped with LED indicators that display both backplane power status and the on/off state for each input. The IC200MDL243 offers isolation of user inputs from logic and frame ground up to 250 VAC continuous or 1500 VAC for one minute, with a nominal input voltage range of 120 VAC (0 to 132 VAC). The operational voltage levels for the on state range from 70 to 132 VAC, while off state levels range from 0 to 20 VAC; the minimum and maximum on state current are 5 mA and 2.5 mA, respectively. Input impedance is rated at 8.6k Ohms at 60 Hz and 10.32k Ohms at 50 Hz under typical conditions. To ensure optimal performance, it is advisable to inspect the module for any shipping damage prior to installation; damaged components should be replaced. The IC200MDL243 does not require derating when mounted vertically (positions A, B) on a DIN rail, although horizontal mounting may necessitate derating at 132 VAC. Users must adhere to proper hot insertion procedures to prevent adverse effects on adjacent modules on the backplane.
