Description

The General Electric IC693MDL752 is a 32-point discrete output module designed for the Series 90-30 Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) system. This module features negative logic (sinking) outputs, allowing it to interface with a variety of DC loads. It is highly versatile, supporting two distinct modes of operation: TTL mode for 5 VDC applications and 12/24 VDC mode for standard industrial control applications. The outputs are organized into four isolated groups of eight, providing flexibility to mix voltage requirements within a single module.

Features

• 32 discrete sinking (negative logic) outputs.
• Dual-mode operation: TTL (5 VDC) and 12/24 VDC.
• Four isolated groups of eight outputs (A, B, C, D) with independent commons.
• Internal pull-up resistors provided for each point to support TTL logic levels.
• LED status indicators for each of the 32 output points.
• Opto-coupler isolation between field and logic sides.
• All outputs are forced OFF when the CPU is in stop mode.

Applications

• Packaging and bottling line control.
• Material handling and conveyor system tracking.
• Metal and plastics processing equipment.
• Robotic work cell interfacing (e.g., FANUC robots).
• Industrial process equipment and boiler management.
• Elevator and lift control systems.

Technical Specifications

Connections

The module utilizes two 24-pin male connectors on the front panel for I/O wiring:

• Connector 1 (Right): Channels 1-16 (Groups A and B).
• Connector 2 (Left): Channels 17-32 (Groups C and D).
• Connector Type: Fujitsu FCN-365P024-AU or compatible (e.g., IC693CBL327/328).

Installation Guidelines

• Power Down: Always turn off power to the PLC rack before installing or removing the module to prevent electrical damage.
• Mounting: The module can be inserted into any available I/O slot in a GE Series 90-30 baseplate.
• Grounding: Ensure proper grounding of the PLC rack to minimize electrical noise, especially when mixing TTL and inductive loads.
• Wiring: For high-current applications (3-4 amperes), connect both common pins provided for each group.
• Environment: Keep the module away from high-EMI sources to ensure stable operation of the opto-isolated circuits.

FAQs

What is the IC693MDL752?

The GE IC693MDL752 is a 32-point, 5/24 VDC negative logic (sinking) output module for the GE Fanuc Series 90-30 PLC system.

How are the outputs organized?

The 32 outputs are divided into 4 independent groups of 8 points each. Each group has its own common terminal.

Can this module switch AC voltages?

No. This module is designed exclusively for DC voltage applications. Applying AC voltage will cause permanent damage to the solid-state components.

Is the module hot-swappable?

No. You must power down the Series 90-30 PLC rack before removing or inserting the module.
