IC693MDL940J | General Electric Output Module

Description 

The IC693MDL940J is a 16‑point relay output module from General Electric’s Series 90‑30 (also compatible with PACSystems RX3i). Featuring normally‑open (N.O.) relay outputs with 2 A pilot-duty switching per channel (up to 4 A per common bus), it supports both 24 V DC and 120/240 V AC loads (operating over 5–30 V DC or 5–250 V AC @ 50–60 Hz).

Information About IC693MDL940J

The IC693MDL940J is part of GE’s Series 90-30 family of programmable logic controller (PLC) modules, designed to provide reliable AC and DC control output in industrial automation environments. This module offers 16 relay output points, each capable of handling both 5–30 VDC and 5–250 VAC loads at 50/60 Hz, making it highly versatile for mixed-voltage control applications. Outputs are organized in four isolated groups of four channels, with a maximum output current of 2 amps per point and 4 amps per common, allowing control of solenoids, lamps, motor starters, and other field devices. The module includes LED indicators for each point, supports both Series 90-30 and RX3i systems, and is designed with 1500 VAC electrical isolation between logic and field sides for safety.

Key Features:

• 16-Point Relay Output: Provides 16 individually controlled relay outputs suitable for both AC and DC loads.
• Mixed-Voltage Compatibility: Supports output voltages from 5–30 VDC and 5–250 VAC, allowing flexibility in controlling a variety of field devices.
• High Output Current Capacity: Handles up to 2 amps per channel and 4 amps per group common, enabling pilot-duty operation of heavy loads.
• Isolated Output Groups: Four groups of four outputs each provide internal isolation, improving circuit segmentation and noise immunity.
• Fast Switching Response: Typical ON and OFF response time of 15 ms for consistent and responsive control.
• Built-In LED Indicators: Green LEDs for each channel provide real-time status visibility for maintenance and diagnostics.
• Backplane Integration: Mounts directly into GE Series 90-30 racks, compatible with PACSystems RX3i via appropriate carriers.
• Electrical Isolation: 1500 VAC isolation between logic side and outputs protects internal circuits from field-side transients.
• Industrial Durability: Engineered for rugged performance in typical factory-floor environments with resistance to vibration, dust, and temperature changes.

The IC693MDL940J combines flexible voltage control, relay-based isolation, and high-output reliability in a single module. Its integration with GE’s proven Series 90-30 platform makes it a practical and efficient solution for output control in discrete automation systems, particularly where both AC and DC loads coexist.
