GE IC670MDL240J – Versatile Discrete Input Module for Industrial Automation
The GE IC670MDL240J is a reliable discrete input module designed to handle up to 16 digital inputs in industrial automation systems. One thing I appreciate is its ability to integrate seamlessly with GE’s PACSystems and Series 90 PLCs, making it an excellent choice for applications like conveyor control, packaging machines, or material handling systems.
Key Features
- High-Density Input Capability: With 16 channels, this module minimizes the need for multiple modules, saving valuable cabinet space.
- Versatile Voltage Compatibility: It supports 24V DC inputs, which seems to be the standard for most modern industrial setups.
- LED Status Indicators: Each channel has an LED indicator, so you can quickly identify signal activity during troubleshooting.
- Rugged Design: Built to withstand harsh environments, it typically performs well even in high-vibration or dusty conditions.
- Hot-Swappable: You might notice that this feature allows for easy replacement without shutting down the entire system, reducing downtime.

Related or Supporting Products
For customers looking at alternatives or upgrades, consider these options:
- IC694MDL240: A similar 16-channel input module but compatible with newer RX3i systems. From my experience, this model offers slightly faster response times.
- IC693MDL240: A lower-cost alternative for Series 90-30 PLCs, though it lacks hot-swappable functionality.
- Terminal Blocks: Models like IC200TBK001 are often used alongside IC670MDL240J for wiring convenience.
Installation & Maintenance
Proper installation ensures optimal performance. The IC670MDL240J should be mounted in a clean, dry electrical cabinet with adequate ventilation. Wiring must comply with local electrical codes, and shielded cables are recommended to minimize noise interference. Routine maintenance includes periodic inspection of terminal connections and firmware updates if available. Calibration isn’t required for this type of module, but cleaning dust from the enclosure every six months helps prolong its lifespan.
