Description
The General Electric IC600BF831 is a 32-point high-density discrete input module designed for the GE Series Six programmable logic controller architecture. It provides an optically isolated, compact interface that bridges external field digital circuitry and the Series Six backplane I/O bus. The module accommodates high-density sensing applications while maintaining electrical separation between the field wiring and sensitive logic processing circuits.
The IC600BF831 is field-configurable to function in either a 5 VDC TTL mode or a wide-range 10 to 50 VDC mode. Its 32 input points are divided into four isolated groups of eight points each, permitting flexible integration with sinking or sourcing DC field devices as well as TTL-level instrumentation. The module occupies a single slot in the host chassis and comes equipped with a dedicated faceplate and 32 front-panel status indicator lights for real-time channel diagnostics.
Features
- Provides 32 discrete digital input points arranged in four isolated groups of 8 points each.
- Supports dual-mode input operation for 5 VDC TTL signals or 10 to 50 VDC field devices.
- Optical isolation safeguards internal Series Six backplane logic from industrial field voltage transients.
- Integrated front faceplate with 32 channel status LED indicators.
- Single-slot form factor for high-density I/O configurations.

Compatibility
The IC600BF831 is engineered for compatibility across legacy GE Series Six installations. It installs directly into standard Series Six I/O racks, high-capacity Series Six I/O racks, and Model 60 CPU I/O chassis. In distributed architectures, the module operates in remote Series Six I/O racks managed through Series Six I/O receiver modules.
