Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the output voltage range of the MDL732B?
A1: The module provides 0–10 V DC on each of its eight channels.

Q2: What resolution does the module offer?
A2: It offers 12-bit resolution, corresponding to ~0.0024 V increments.

Q3: Can it drive 4–20 mA devices?
A3: No; for current outputs, use the MDL741 4–20 mA output module.

Q4: What is the maximum drive current per channel?
A4: Each channel can source or sink up to ±10 mA.

Q5: How fast does it respond to output changes?
A5: The typical response time is under 1 ms.

Q6: Is the module isolated?
A6: Yes, it features 1500 V RMS isolation between field outputs and logic.

Q7: What operating temperatures are supported?
A7: The module operates reliably from 0 °C to 60 °C.

Q8: How do I install the module?
A8: Simply snap it into an empty slot in an RX3i rack; no tools required.

Q9: Which backplane does it use?
A9: It connects to the PACSystems RX3i proprietary backplane for power and communication.

Q10: How do I configure the outputs?
A10: Configuration is handled through GE’s Proficy control software or directly via the CPU’s I/O configuration utility.
