GE IC610MDL179 – GE Fanuc Series One 8-Channel 115/230VAC Digital Output Module

In stock

Product Introduction: The IC610MDL179, designed by GE Fanuc (now part of Emerson Automation), is a high-reliability discrete output module from the Series One PLC family. It serves as an interface between the PLC control system and field AC loads, converting digital logic signals into 115/230VAC power outputs to drive solenoid valves, relay coils, motor starters, and indicator lamps. Engineered for industrial environments, it features 8 output channels grouped into two isolated banks, a wide AC voltage range, and a removable terminal block for simplified wiring and maintenance. This module is discontinued by the manufacturer but remains widely available for legacy system support.

Key Features

Wide AC Voltage Compatibility: Operates reliably across 80–264VAC, supporting both 115VAC and 230VAC industrial power grids for global deployment.
Dual Independent Output Groups: 8 channels split into two isolated banks (4 channels each) allow separate power sources for different load types, enhancing system flexibility and safety.
High Current Drive Capability: Delivers up to 0.5A per channel at room temperature and 1A per channel (derated at high temperatures) for driving heavy AC loads like motor starters and solenoid valves.
Fast Response Time: 1ms ON response ensures rapid actuation of time-sensitive devices; 9ms OFF response balances speed and arc suppression for extended contact life.
Removable Terminal Block: Simplifies wiring, reduces installation time, and enables quick module replacement without rewiring, minimizing downtime during maintenance.
