About the IC220MDL940
IC220MDL940 is a VersaPoint Discrete Output Module manufactured by GE Fanuc Automation. There is no protection or nominal current consumption of US on this module. The current consumption from Local Bus UL is 187 mA (maximum). There are 4 points on this unit, and the load current per point is 3.0A. The output voltage is 5-253 VAC. This module has an active lifecycle status and a 2 and 3 wire connection style.
IC22MDL940 requires one terminal strip (IC220TBK085), as well as a Relay Isolation Set (IC220ACC201 and IC220TBK206) if switching voltages are not available in the segment. The datasheet number for this module is GFK-2131, and the module ID is BD hex (189 decimal). It must connect to an electrically isolated relay contact. The total current of the terminal is 12A, because the nominal current at the output is 3A, and there are 4 actuators. The communications power UL is 7.5V and the power consumption from the local bus is 0.17W/1.4W. The housing dimensions are 48.8 mm (1.921 in) x 120 mm (4.724 in) x 71.5 mm (2.795 in).
Keep the module protected from high humidity. When working on the terminals and wiring the module, ensure that the supply voltage is switched off and that it cannot be switched on again. Grounded, single phase AC circuits are required when using the discrete output module to switch AC circuits. Load protection methods on the module include the diode, the series connection, the suppressor diode, the varistor, the R/C combination, and the R/C combination with a diode. There are various advantages and disadvantages to each of these load protection methods. Refer to the user manual for this information, as well as diagrams illustrating each protection method.
