GE Fanuc IC200MDL740

The IC200MDL740 is a versatile output module within the VersaMax family, developed by General Electric Intelligent Platforms Control Systems Solutions. This module features a total of 16 output points, each capable of handling discrete digital signals in either positive logic or sourcing configurations. Designed for load switching, the IC200MDL740 provides power directly to connected loads and is compatible with the IC200CHS series of interposing relay bases. It necessitates an external power source to facilitate output load switching, with a maximum current consumption of 45 milliamps from a five-volt output supply. This module operates within a voltage range of 10.2 to 30 volts DC, with a nominal voltage of 24 volts DC, although it can also function at 12 volts DC with the upgraded IC200MDL740B or later models. Each output point is capable of delivering up to 0.5 amperes, featuring a response time of 0.2 milliseconds for the "on" state and 1.0 millisecond for the "off" state. Note that the IC200MDL740 does not provide channel-to-channel isolation or internal fuses for protection. Output voltage drop is limited to a peak of 0.3 volts, and when operating at 30 volts DC, the output leakage current may reach up to 0.5 milliamps. Status indications are provided by integrated LED lights, which require field power for operation and remain unaffected by the load conditions. Additionally, the module supports thermal derating for 24 or 30 volts DC applications, ensuring reliability in demanding operating environments.
