Product Overview

The GE IC695MDL765CA serves as a high-performance discrete output interface for the PACSystems RX3i platform. This module provides 16 output points designed to drive 24VDC field loads, such as solenoids, motor starters, and indicator lights. It utilizes sourcing logic (positive logic), where the module supplies power to the connected device. We provide this unit as 100% Brand New and original equipment, ensuring the highest level of component integrity for your control architecture.

Technical Specifications

Engineering Advantages

Electronic Short-Circuit Protection
The IC695MDL765CA features built-in protection that automatically detects and shuts down individual points in the event of an external short circuit. This protects the internal circuitry and prevents damage to the backplane.

Smart Diagnostics
The module monitors both “Field Power” and “Point Status.” If a fuse blows or field power drops, the module sends an immediate fault report to the RX3i CPU, enabling rapid troubleshooting via the HMI or engineering workstation.

Thermal Management
Advanced internal components minimize heat dissipation during high-load operations. This design allows for higher density in control cabinets without requiring specialized cooling hardware.

Configurable Default States
Engineers can program the module to hold the last state or transition to a safe “Off” state if communication with the CPU is lost, providing a critical layer of safety for industrial processes.

FAQs

What is the difference between this “CA” version and older hardware?
The “CA” suffix indicates the latest production revision. It offers full backward compatibility with the IC695MDL765, featuring updated component standards and improved resistance to electromagnetic interference (EMI).

Does this module require an external power supply for the outputs?
Yes, you must provide external 24VDC power to the module’s terminal block to drive the field loads. The backplane only provides power for the module’s internal logic communication.

Can I mix different voltages on the same module?
No, all points within each group must share the same common voltage. However, because the module features two isolated groups, you could technically provide separate 24VDC supplies to each group if electrical isolation is required.

What terminal block is recommended for this module?
This module requires a 36-pin high-density terminal block. Use the IC695TBB032 (extended depth) or IC695TBB132 (spring style) to ensure secure connections and proper wire management.
