Description
GE Fanuc 369-HI-R-M-0-E-0 High-Voltage Digital Input Module for Industrial Automation
The GE Fanuc 369-HI-R-M-0-E-0 is a 16-channel high-voltage digital input module designed for GE’s PACSystems RX3i and Series 90-30 PLC platforms, specializing in rugged industrial environments. Engineered for reliability, the module supports 120–250 VAC/DC inputs—ideal for monitoring high-voltage switches, circuit breakers, and legacy equipment in power generation, oil & gas, and heavy manufacturing.
1. Product Overview
The 369-HI-R-M-0-E-0 converts high-voltage signals from field devices (e.g., motors, pumps) into digital data for PLC processing. Its 2,500 VAC optical isolation and -40°C to +70°C operating range (via E suffix) ensure stability in extreme temperatures and noisy industrial settings. With LED status indicators for each channel, the module simplifies troubleshooting and reduces downtime in mission-critical systems.
