Product Short Description

Product Introduction:

The IC610MDL179 is an 8‑point solid‑state output module for GE Fanuc Series One PLC systems (now Emerson Automation Solutions). It switches 115/230 VAC loads (80–264 VAC range) with 2 independent 4‑point groups (each fused 5 A), 1 A per output (max), 10 A inrush for 17 ms, and 1.5 V drop at 1 A. It has 1 ms OFF‑to‑ON / 9 ms ON‑to‑OFF response, 25 mA minimum load, 1.2 mA leakage at 230 V/60 Hz, logic‑side indicators, and a removable terminal block. It splits 8 outputs into 2 groups (4 each) for separate power sources, uses 12 mA per ON circuit at 9 VDC, and has 2 internal 5 A fuses. CE, UL, CSA certified, it controls industrial loads (relays, solenoids, motor starters) in distributed systems, now discontinued but widely used in legacy Series One installations.

Description

Technical Specifications

  • Module Type: 8‑point solid‑state output module for GE Series One PLCs.
  • Output Voltage: 80–264 VAC (115/230 VAC nominal), user‑supplied field power.
  • Output Configuration: 2 groups of 4 outputs each; 1 A max per output, 5 A max per group (fused).
  • Inrush Current: 10 A for 17 ms per output.
  • ON Voltage Drop: 1.5 V at 1 A.
  • Minimum Load: 25 mA per output.
  • Leakage Current: 1.2 mA at 230 V, 60 Hz.
  • Response Time: 1 ms (OFF‑to‑ON), 9 ms (ON‑to‑OFF).
  • Power Consumption: 12 mA per ON circuit at 9 VDC (logic side).
  • Protection: 2 internal 5 A fuses (1 per 4‑output group); overcurrent/short‑circuit protection.
  • Indicators: Logic‑side LED per output for ON/OFF status.
  • Terminals: Removable terminal block (screw‑clamp), 2.5 mm² wire gauge.
  • Dimensions: 127 mm × 127 mm × 76 mm; weight 210 g (7.4 oz).
  • Operating Environment: 0°C to +60°C; 5–95% RH (non‑condensing); IP20 protection.
  • Certifications: CE, UL 508, CSA C22.2 No. 14; compliant with IEC 61131‑2.

Functional Characteristics

  • Independent Output Groups: 2×4‑point groups support separate field power sources for mixed‑voltage loads or isolation.
  • High Inrush Handling: 10 A/17 ms inrush accommodates inductive loads (solenoids, motor starters) without tripping.
  • Fast Response: 1 ms OFF‑to‑ON switching suits time‑critical control (conveyor sorting, packaging).
  • Low Leakage: 1.2 mA leakage prevents false triggering of low‑power loads (indicators, small relays).
  • Fused Group Protection: 5 A fuses per group isolate faults to 4 outputs, avoiding full module shutdown.
  • Removable Terminal Block: Simplifies wiring, replacement, and maintenance without re‑wiring the entire module.
  • Logic‑Side Indicators: LEDs per output enable quick verification of logic‑level switching, speeding troubleshooting.
  • Wide Voltage Range: 80–264 VAC input works with global power grids (115/230 VAC).
  • Compact Form Factor: 210 g, DIN rail mounting fits dense control panels; hot swappable with Series One chassis.

Application Scenarios

  • Industrial Control: Motor starters, solenoid valves, heaters; 1 A per output switches 230 VAC loads without contactors, 2 groups isolate high/low‑power circuits.
  • Machine Automation: Packaging, textile, printing machines; 1 ms response controls fast actuators, 10 A inrush handles solenoid/motor inrush.
  • Process Control: Chemical, water treatment; powers 24 VDC relay coils for valve control, separate group power isolates safety interlocks.
  • Building Automation: HVAC, lighting, access control; 8 outputs switch 230 VAC lighting/valves, groups split for emergency/normal circuits.
  • Legacy System Retrofit: Upgrades Series One PLCs with 8‑point AC output expansion; 2 groups preserve existing power isolation designs.
  • Remote I/O Racks: Distributed systems with 8+ output points; 2 groups use local power sources, indicators simplify remote troubleshooting.
  • Hazardous Area Support: Class I, Div. 2 certification for oil/gas, chemical zones; solid‑state switching avoids spark risks vs. mechanical relays.
