PRODUCT INFORMATION
Product Overview
The General Electric IC693MDL732 is a Series 90-30 Digital I/O module designed for discrete control tasks. This unit provides eight positive logic output points for driving DC field loads. It draws 50 milliamps from the 5 VDC backplane bus when all outputs are active. The module operates with rated load voltages ranging between 12 and 24 Volts DC.
Each output point handles a maximum continuous load current of 0.5 Amps. The peak output current rating per common terminal reaches 2 Amps. Status LEDs mounted on the top cover indicate the state of each circuit. The hardware exhibits an on and off response time of 2 milliseconds. Internal fuses are not included within the IC693MDL732 circuit design.
