Description

The IC693MDL741 is a 16-point discrete output module designed for the General Electric Series 90-30 Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) platform. This module provides 12/24 VDC negative logic output capability, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial control applications. It features 16 output channels organized into two isolated groups of eight points each, allowing for flexible wiring configurations in control panels.

Features

• 16 discrete output points arranged in two groups of eight.
• Negative logic (sinking) configuration: sinks current from loads to the user common or negative power bus.
• Compatible with 12/24 VDC field devices including solenoids, motor starters, and indicators.
• Integrated LED status indicators for each of the 16 output points.
• Color-coded blue insert for easy identification as a low-voltage module.
• Designed for installation in any I/O slot of a Series 90-30 baseplate.

Technical Specifications

Applications

• Packaging and material handling systems.
• Water and waste management pump and valve control.
• Manufacturing process automation for injection molding and food processing.
• Building infrastructure, including HVAC and elevator control systems.

Installation Guidelines

• Ensure the PLC system power is disconnected before installing or removing the module from the baseplate.
• The module is designed for standard Series 90-30 baseplate slots; ensure it is seated firmly and the locking tabs are engaged.
• Field devices must be powered by an external user-supplied DC power source.
• Use appropriate wire gauges for the 0.5 A per point load capacity.
• Ensure proper grounding practices are followed to minimize EMI interference in the control cabinet.
• The module does not contain internal fuses; ensure external circuit protection is provided for the field devices.

FAQ

What is the logic type of the IC693MDL741?

This module uses negative logic (sinking), meaning it sinks current from the load to the common or negative power bus.

Does this module provide power to the field devices?

No, the module does not supply power to the field devices. The user must provide an external 12/24 VDC power supply for the connected loads.

How are the status LEDs organized?

The module features 16 green LEDs located on the front, arranged in two rows of eight, corresponding to points 1 through 16.
