6. Selection Recommendations
- Compatibility: Ensure compatibility with GE Fanuc Series 90-30/70 PLC racks.
- Environment: Choose the module for applications with voltage fluctuations (24V DC ±10%) or high EMI.
- Scalability: Pair with GE’s analog modules (e.g., IMASI03) for hybrid control systems.
7. Precautions
- Installation: Follow ESD protection protocols; torque connectors to 0.5 N·m.
- Voltage Check: Verify input voltage matches the module rating (24V DC).
- Maintenance: Clean dust annually using compressed air; replace modules every 10 years (per GE’s lifecycle guidelines).
