Introduction — Reliable Relay-Based Output Switching for Industrial Control Systems
The GE IC697MDL710 Relay Output Module is a discrete relay output module designed for GE Fanuc Series 90-70 PLC systems. It is built to provide electrically isolated switching of field devices such as solenoids, contactors, relays, alarms, and indicator loads.
Unlike transistor or triac output modules, this relay-based design offers true mechanical isolation, making it suitable for mixed-voltage environments and applications requiring robust load compatibility and signal separation.
