PRODUCT INFORMATION
Product Overview
The General Electric IC693MDL240 is a 120 VAC discrete input module for the Series 90-30 PLC system. This unit provides sixteen reactive input points arranged in a single group sharing one common power terminal. Each input point operates over a voltage range of 0 to 132 VAC at 50/60 Hz. The module draws 90 mA from the 5 VDC bus on the host baseplate backplane.
Field inputs interface with pushbuttons, limit switches, and electronic proximity switches operating on external alternating current. The module provides optical isolation of 1500 VAC RMS between field wiring and logic side backplane circuits. Two horizontal rows containing sixteen green status LEDs indicate individual channel on and off conditions. A hinged front door includes an insert displaying terminal connection schematics and circuit identification labeling.
