Overview

The IC670MDL642 is an automation component from GE. 125VDC Pos./Neg. Logic Input, 16 Point, Grouped GE Fanuc Field Control MDL642 IC67 IC670MDL The IC670MDL642 module is a PLC Field Control module manufactured b.

Application & Technical Notes

As an automation component, the IC670MDL642 is intended for deployment in panel-based control cabinets and machine enclosures where the GE product portfolio equipment is installed. It performs a defined automation function within the control system and is selected to match the installed GE platform.

Key published characteristics include a Range 0 to 150 Volts DC rating. These values should be confirmed against the current manufacturer datasheet before final selection, as options and suffixes vary by configuration.

Maintenance & Diagnostics

Inspect terminals and connectors for corrosion or looseness, and confirm the module seats correctly in its carrier. Always de-energise the circuit and follow lock-out/tag-out before handling; refer to the official instruction bulletin for service procedures.

Sourcing & Procurement

When sourcing the IC670MDL642, distinguish three supply tiers: (1) genuine GE stock from an authorised distributor; (2) compatible equivalents or surplus/NOS (new-old-stock) from third parties; (3) alternative parts offering equivalent function. Genuine supply carries the full warranty and traceability; compatible or alternative items may be cheaper but should be validated for form, fit, firmware and certification before use in a live system. PLCXpert publishes this page as an independent reference and does not sell the part — verify every claim with the manufacturer or your distributor.

Confirm mechanical and electrical compatibility with your GE product portfolio installation and the intended function. Lead times and pricing vary by region and lifecycle status; obtain a current quote from an authorised channel rather than relying on stale listings.

Specifications

125VDC Pos./Neg. Logic Input, 16 Point, Grouped GE Fanuc Field Control MDL642 IC67 IC670MDL The IC670MDL642 module is a PLC Field Control module manufactured by GE Fanuc. The unit has an input voltage of 125 Volts DC and input with positive/negative logic. Technical specifications for IC670MDL642

Description

NoteThe IC670MDL642 Field Control module is designed and made by GE Fanuc and it includes positive and negative inputs. The users can choose an external logic power source for the module's 16 inputs, and this external power supply is combined with inputs and the assigned terminal block for I/O. When the main switch is closed, the IC670MDL642 Field Control module is sending a signal that has a true value. The positive inputs direct the current to the power bus that is the common or negative current type. This means that the negative inputs receive the current from the power bus that is the common or positive current type. The IC670MDL642 Field Control module operates on input voltage range of 0 to 150 Volts DC and it has a user input current of 2.5 milliamps per point at the rated voltage. The rated voltage of the IC670MDL642 Field Control module is 125 Volts DC and its isolation voltage is 250 Volts AC for continuous operation and 1500 Volts AC for the duration of 1 minute. The input impedance is a minimum of 40K and the response time is 6 milliseconds (typical) and 10 milliseconds maximum when the unit is on. The response time for the off-state includes a typical time of 6 milliseconds and a maximum time of 20 milliseconds. In addition to that, the IC670MDL642 field control module has on-state current of 0.3 to 3 milliamps and an off-state current of 0 to 0.5 milliamps. The on-state voltage is +79 to +150 Volts for the positive logic and -79 to -150 Volts for the negative logic. The off-state voltage is 0 to 30 Volts for positive logic and 0 to -30 Volts for negative logic.
