- The BIU sends one byte of output commands to the module.
- A protected FET stage sources current to each field load.
- A persistent overload switches the affected point off and returns a circuit fault.
GE Fanuc IC670MDL730 24 VDC ESCP Output Module
An eight-point 24 VDC sourcing output module with electronic short-circuit and overcurrent protection.
Model Profile
GE Fanuc IC670MDL730 is an eight-point 24 VDC positive-logic output module with electronic short-circuit protection. It sources current to field loads and monitors each output for overcurrent or short-circuit conditions.
When a fault is detected, the affected point is switched off and a diagnostic is reported to the bus interface unit. Separate green state LEDs and yellow fault LEDs help distinguish a commanded output from a channel that has been disabled by protection.
The module is intended for 18–30 VDC field supplies and loads up to 2 A per point, subject to an 8 A module total. Compatibility with the installed BIU revision must be checked because the point-level diagnostics require supported interface firmware.

Protected Output Sequence
Protection Coordination
- Keep steady current below 2 A per point and 8 A for the module.
- Use the required BIU revision so channel diagnostics are handled correctly.
- Clear a latched circuit fault only after the field wiring or load problem has been removed.
Technical Questions
Why does an IC670MDL730 output stay off even after the command returns ON?
A channel fault can latch the point off; remove the overload or short circuit and then clear the fault.
Can IC670MDL730 deliver 2 A on all eight outputs simultaneously?
No. The module total is limited to 8 A even though each point is rated up to 2 A.
Which Genius BIU revision is required for IC670MDL730?
Use IC670GBI002 revision 2.10 or later for the specified compatibility.
What do the yellow LEDs on IC670MDL730 indicate?
They identify point-level overcurrent or short-circuit faults, separate from the green output-state LEDs.
Can IC670MDL730 drive a sinking-input field device?
It is a positive-logic sourcing output, so the connected load must be wired for sourced current.
What buyer data is needed for IC670MDL730?
Provide load current, inrush, supply voltage, BIU model/revision and module-total duty.
