GE IC693MDL752

  • Product Introduction: This is a 16-channel 24VDC transistor (NPN sourcing) output module for the GE Fanuc 90-30 PLC platform. It provides high-density digital output capability with fast switching speeds, making it ideal for applications requiring rapid output cycling such as solenoid control, LED indicators, and small relay driving. Each channel can sink up to 500mA, and the module is divided into two isolated groups of 8 channels.

  • Working Principle:
    • The CPU writes to the output register via Genius Bus. The module’s opto-isolators activate the NPN Darlington transistors for each active channel. The transistor sinks current from the load to ground (0V). The load must have its own positive supply (5-30VDC) connected to the load side. The LED indicates when the output is active.
  • Installation Requirements:
    • Mount in IC693CHS or IC693ACC chassis
    • Connect load positive supply to load terminal, load other side to module output
    • Use 18-22 AWG wire
    • For inductive loads, add external flyback diode across the load
    • Keep output cables away from AC power lines (>30cm)
  • Usage Precautions:
    • Load voltage must be 5-30VDC — do not connect AC loads directly
    • Do not exceed 500mA per channel — use external relay for higher loads
    • Add flyback diode for all inductive loads (solenoids, relays, motors)
    • Do not leave outputs floating — always connect a defined load or pull-up
    • Do not hot-swap
