Description
The IC693MDL646 is a 16-point discrete input module designed for the GE Fanuc Series 90-30 PLC platform. This module provides a reliable interface for monitoring binary field devices, such as push buttons, limit switches, proximity sensors, and auxiliary contacts. It supports both positive and negative logic wiring configurations, offering flexibility for various control circuit requirements. The module is engineered for use in both local and remote I/O baseplates within the 90-30 system architecture.
Features
- 16 discrete input channels grouped with a single common terminal.
- Supports both Positive and Negative logic wiring configurations.
- Compatible with 24 VDC nominal field devices (0-30 VDC range).
- Integrated status LEDs for individual channel monitoring and module health.
- 1500 VDC isolation between the field side and the logic side.
- Designed for installation in any I/O slot of a 5 or 10-slot Series 90-30 baseplate.
