GE
Overview
The IC697MDL651 is an automation component from GE. The IC697MDL651 module is a discrete input module by GE Fanuc. The module is part of Series 90-70 and it features 32 inputs. The unit has a rated voltage of 5 V.
Application & Technical Notes
As an automation component, the IC697MDL651 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 -3 to 7 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 IC697MDL651, 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.

The module is produced by GE Fanuc and it is intended for use with programmable controller units from Series 90-70. The IC697MDL651 module has TTL compatible input points that are completely independent and that are equipped with filter option. The users can choose a filter with a value of 1 millisecond or 10 milliseconds, depending on the application requirements. In addition to that, the inputs have pullup resistors that do not require power and the module has LED status indicators. There are 32 inputs available per module and the cable that is used can have a maximum length of 30 meters (98.4 feet).
The IC697MDL651 module requires a voltage of 5 Volts DC and its voltage range is from -3 to 7 Volts DC. In addition to that, the input characteristics of the module include an impedance of 5.9 kiloohms with a deviation of plus or minus 5%, along with an on-state voltage range of -3 to 0.5 Volts. The off-state voltage is 2 to 7 Volts. The IC697MDL651 module has a typical on-state current of 1.7 milliAmps at the rated voltage and a maximum off-state current of 1.1 milliAmps. The module requires 0.53 Amps of current from 5 Volts bus voltage and it is designed according to VME standard (C.1). The configuration of the IC697MDL651 module can be achieved through software that runs on either the Windows or MS-DOS operating system. The configuration is done through the Ethernet TCP/IP or SNP port.
