Description

The General Electric IC693MDL940 is a 16-point relay output module designed for the Series 90-30 Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) system. This module provides 16 normally-open (N.O.) relay circuits, allowing for the control of a wide range of user-supplied AC or DC load devices. It is an essential component for interfacing the PLC with field devices such as motor starters, solenoids, and indicators.

Features

• 16 normally-open relay outputs arranged in four groups of four points each.
• Output switching capacity of 2 Amps per point.
• Supports a wide range of operating voltages: 5 to 30 VDC and 5 to 250 VAC (50/60 Hz).
• LED status indicators for each of the 16 points, located on the front panel for easy diagnostics.
• Color-coded red left edge on the door insert to signify a high-voltage module.
• Compatible with any I/O slot in a 5 or 10-slot baseplate within the Series 90-30 system.

Applications

• Injection Molding Machines: Robot I/O and auxiliary control for systems like Cincinnati Milacron Roboshot.
• Material Handling: Activation of starters and solenoids for conveyors, sorters, and palletizers.
• Packaging Machinery: Triggering actuators for bottling and wrapping processes.
• Water & Wastewater: Operation of gate valves and pumps.
• HVAC Systems: Management of fans, dampers, and heaters.

Technical Specifications

Installation Guidelines

• Power Down: Always disconnect power from the PLC baseplate before inserting or removing the module.
• Slot Compatibility: This module can be installed in any I/O slot of a 5 or 10-slot baseplate.
• Wiring: Field devices must be powered by an external user-supplied source. Ensure proper grouping to maintain isolation between different voltage types.
• Handling: Use standard ESD precautions when handling the module to prevent damage to internal logic components.
• Identification: Use the hinged door insert to record circuit identification information for easier maintenance.

FAQs

What is the GE IC693MDL940?

The GE Fanuc IC693MDL940 is a 16-point, 2-amp normally-open relay output module for the Series 90-30 PLC family.

How are the output points organized?

The 16 relay outputs are divided into 4 independent groups, with 4 channels per group. Each group shares a common power terminal.

Can I mix different voltages on the same module?

Yes, you may use different voltage types on the same module, provided that they are kept in separate isolated groups.

Does this module include internal fuses?

No, there are no internal fuses on the IC693MDL940 module. External fusing is recommended based on the specific load requirements.
