Product Overview

The GE Fanuc IC694MDL241 functions as a high-density discrete input interface for the PACSystems RX3i platform. This module converts signals from field devices into logic levels that the CPU processes. It supports both 24 VAC and 24 VDC inputs, making it a versatile choice for mixed-signal industrial environments. We provide this unit as a 100% brand new, original factory component to ensure maximum uptime for your automation architecture.

Technical Specifications

Engineering Advantages

Dual-Voltage Support
The hardware logic accepts both AC and DC signals, eliminating the need for separate modules when a cabinet contains diverse field sensors or switches.

Space-Efficient Design
The 16-point density maximizes I/O capacity within a single RX3i backplane slot, reducing the overall footprint of the control system.

High-Speed Signal Processing
Internal filtering circuitry rejects electrical noise and contact bounce, ensuring the CPU receives clean and stable data in harsh industrial environments.

Simple Maintenance
A front-facing LED array provides real-time status indication for each input point, enabling fast troubleshooting during commissioning or fault conditions.

FAQs

Does this module require a specific terminal block?
Yes. The IC694MDL241 requires a 20-terminal block for field wiring. This must be ordered separately or reused from an existing RX3i rack.

Can the module handle 50 Hz and 60 Hz frequencies simultaneously?
Yes. The module automatically detects and processes AC signals within the 50/60 Hz range without performance impact.

How does the module indicate a logic “high” state?
Individual green LEDs illuminate when the corresponding input channel exceeds the ON threshold (above 15V).

Is this unit compatible with Series 90-30 racks?
No. Although physically similar, the IC694MDL241 must be installed in an RX3i Universal Backplane to utilize its high-speed PCI bus architecture.
