Product Introduction
The GE IC200MDL632D is a robust and reliable Discrete Input Module from the VersaMax series by General Electric (GE). Designed specifically for 120V AC input applications, it provides 16 input points organized in two isolated groups of eight. Each input can independently detect the presence of a discrete signal and report its status back to the PLC.
Part of the highly modular and space-efficient VersaMax I/O system, this module excels in factory automation and industrial environments where AC signal acquisition is required. It supports positive logic, and each point is equipped with LED indicators for real-time status monitoring. The IC200MDL632D ensures easy installation, durable performance, and seamless integration into a GE automation system.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
What type of input signals does the IC200MDL632D accept?
→ It accepts standard 120V AC signals, typically from switches, relays, or sensors. -
Is the module compatible with 24V DC signals?
→ No, this module is designed for 120V AC only. Use a DC input module for 24V DC applications. -
Can this module be used in hazardous environments?
→ It can be used in industrial environments, but for hazardous areas, ensure proper enclosure and certifications. -
Are the input points individually isolated?
→ No, they are grouped into two sets of eight, each group being isolated from the other and from logic. -
Is external power required?
→ The input devices must supply the 120V AC signal. The module itself draws power from the backplane. -
How do I know if an input is active?
→ A dedicated LED for each input will illuminate when the point is ON. -
Can I mix different voltage signals on this module?
→ No, all inputs must conform to the 120V AC range. -
What’s the input delay for signal processing?
→ 45 ms for both ON and OFF transitions. -
How many modules can be installed on one VersaMax rack?
→ This depends on power and I/O limits, but up to 8–10 is typical in a standard configuration. -
What happens if an input exceeds the voltage rating?
→ It may damage the input circuitry. Always ensure inputs are within the 74–132V AC range.
