Product Overview

The IC694MDL916-BA is a mixed I/O module for the PACSystems RX3i platform, combining both 8 digital inputs and 8 digital outputs in a single-slot configuration. Rated for 24 VDC, this module is ideal for high-current applications, offering 2.0 Amperes per output channel. It can directly drive solenoids, contactors, and high-wattage indicators, eliminating the need for interposing relays. Supplied in 100% Brand New condition, this module maximizes space in systems with limited backplane slots.

Technical Specifications

Key Features

• Optimized Slot Utilization: Combines 8 inputs and 8 outputs into a single slot, reducing the need for additional modules and saving backplane space.

• High-Current Drive Capability: Each output can drive up to 2A, allowing direct control of solenoids, contactors, and other inductive loads, minimizing hardware complexity.

• Simplified Spares Management: The mixed I/O design reduces the number of spare parts required for systems with a small number of I/O points.

• Signal Isolation: 250 VAC isolation between field channels and backplane ensures protection from electrical surges.

• Direct 24V Interface: Interfaces directly with standard 24V industrial sensors and actuators, offering a wide 18-30 VDC operating range.

FAQs

What type of terminal block does this module use?
The IC694MDL916-BA typically uses a 20-terminal front-mounted block (e.g., IC694TBB032 or IC694TBS032). Verify the wiring diagram to ensure correct terminal assignments for input and output commons.

Can I mix different voltages for the inputs and outputs?
No. The module requires a 24V DC nominal power supply for both inputs and outputs. It does not support AC voltages.

What does the "-BA" suffix signify?
The "-BA" suffix indicates an updated hardware revision with optimized circuitry and manufacturing standards, while ensuring full compatibility with earlier IC694MDL916 versions.

Does this module support hot-swapping?
While the RX3i platform supports Hot Insertion for I/O modules, always follow proper safety procedures to prevent unintended machine movement when replacing a live module.
