PRODUCT INFORMATION
Product Overview
The General Electric IC693MDL742 is a Series 90-30 Digital I/O module. It provides 16 discrete positive logic output points. These outputs are arranged into two isolated groups of eight channels each. Operating voltage spans 12 to 24 VDC (+20%, -15%). Each individual output channel provides up to 1.0 Ampere continuous current.
Each output group handles 4.0 Amperes at 50 degrees Celsius. That rating derates to 3.0 Amperes at 60 degrees Celsius. Built-in electronic short circuit protection monitors each group common signal. When a short circuit occurs, a red F fault LED illuminates. The module draws 130 mA from the backplane power supply.

PRODUCT FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the rated output current of the IC693MDL742 module?
Each point supports 1.0 Ampere maximum. Each group handles 4.0 Amperes at 50 °C and 3.0 Amperes at 60 °C.
How does the Electronic Short Circuit Protection function?
The circuit monitors group common current. When a short circuit occurs, the group turns off and a red F LED lights.
How do you reset the short circuit protection circuit?
Remove external 12 to 24 VDC user field power from the module. Restore power once the fault is cleared.
Where can the IC693MDL742 be installed in a baseplate?
It installs in any vacant I/O slot. It cannot be mounted in dedicated CPU or power supply positions.
What is the market pricing for the IC693MDL742?
Pricing depends on unit condition and availability. Stated figures are indicative market reference pricing only, not a final quotation.
