Product Overview

The GE IC693MDL940F provides 16 isolated relay output points for the Series 90-30 Programmable Logic Controller platform. This module interfaces between PLC logic and external field devices, enabling the system to switch high-current loads or provide dry contact signals. It supports both AC and DC power sources, making it an ideal solution for mixed-voltage industrial environments. We supply this module as 100% Brand New and Original factory stock.

Technical Specifications

Engineering Advantages

Universal Load Compatibility

The relay-based design allows the module to switch a wide range of electrical loads without external interposing relays. This direct-drive capability simplifies wiring for solenoids, motor starters, alarms, and pilot lights.

High Power Density

The IC693MDL940F integrates 16 independent 2A relay outputs into a single-slot module. This high-density architecture maximizes PLC backplane utilization while minimizing cabinet space requirements.

Fault Isolation

The relay contacts provide true galvanic isolation between the PLC logic circuitry and external field wiring. This isolation protects the controller backplane from voltage spikes, transient surges, and wiring faults originating from field devices.

Quick Troubleshooting

Sixteen dedicated front-panel LED indicators display the real-time status of each output point. Maintenance technicians can rapidly verify output commands without using additional diagnostic tools.

FAQs

Can I mix AC and DC voltages on this module?

Yes. The module separates the 16 outputs into two isolated groups of 8 points, each with its own common terminal. This design allows one group to switch 120 VAC loads while the second group handles 24 VDC devices.

What is the minimum load required for these relays?

Relay outputs generally require a small minimum current, typically around 10 mA at 5 VDC, to maintain proper contact integrity through mechanical wiping action. For ultra-low-power applications, a transistor output module may be more suitable.

Is the IC693MDL940F compatible with all Series 90-30 baseplates?

Yes. The module installs into any standard I/O slot on Series 90-30 local, expansion, or remote baseplates, including both 5-slot and 10-slot configurations.

Are the internal relays replaceable?

No. The relays are permanently soldered to the internal circuit board to maximize vibration resistance and long-term reliability. If relay wear occurs, replacing the entire module is the recommended maintenance practice.
