Description

The General Electric IC610MDL179 is a Series One 115/230V AC output module featuring 8 discrete output circuits designed to control user-supplied ON/OFF loads. Engineered for reliable industrial automation performance, this module efficiently manages inductive and resistive loads such as relay coils, motor starters up to size No. 3, solenoid valves, and visual indicator lights. The 8 individual output points are segregated into 2 isolated groups of 4 circuits each, allowing separate power sources to be applied to each group depending on your panel architecture requirements.

Equipped with a removable terminal board for streamlined wiring and maintenance, the IC610MDL179 incorporates solid-state switching with individual logic-side circuit indicators to display operational status. Each group of 4 circuits is internally protected by a soldered 5-amp fuse. The module integrates seamlessly into legacy GE Series One PLC racks, delivering precise response times and robust isolation for discrete control applications.

Features

• 8 discrete AC output circuits divided into 2 isolated groups of 4 channels
• Operating voltage range of 80 to 264V AC at 47 to 63Hz
• Maximum continuous current rating of 1A per point
• Logic-side circuit indicators for real-time status monitoring
• Built-in protection featuring dual 5A internal soldered fuses (one per 4-circuit group)
• Removable terminal board design for fast installation and easy field wiring replacement
• Solid-state switching providing rapid 1ms OFF-to-ON and 9ms ON-to-OFF response times

Applications

• Controlling industrial motor starters up to size No. 3
• Switching AC relay and contactor coils
• Operating pneumatic and hydraulic solenoid valves
• Driving panel status indicator lights and horns
• Legacy GE Series One automation system upgrades and maintenance replacements

Technical Specifications

Connections / Interfaces

Field wiring connects via the integrated removable terminal board on the front of the module. Terminals 0 through 3 correspond to the first group of 4 outputs, and terminals 4 through 7 correspond to the second group of 4 outputs. Hot connections for the AC power supply are tied together internally for each group, while user loads are wired in series between the module output terminals and the neutral return.

Installation Guidelines

• Ensure all rack power is disconnected before installing or removing the module.
• Verify that external user-supplied power sources feeding the load circuits are properly fused and rated within the 80 to 264V AC operating window.
• Ensure the removable terminal board is securely seated and retention screws are tightened to maintain reliable electrical contact.
• Observe derating guidelines when operating multiple circuits simultaneously at elevated ambient temperatures to prevent thermal overload.
