GE Fanuc IC694MDL390

The IC694MDL390 is a high-performance isolated output module designed for use within the GE Fanuc RX3i PACSystem. This module provides five isolated outputs, each capable of handling up to 2 amps at 120/240 VAC, making it suitable for a variety of applications. It serves as a replacement for the IC697MDL341 discrete output module from the Series 90-70 PLCs, offering improved versatility with its isolated outputs that are not connected internally; this allows for the utilization of different phases of AC supply or powering from a common source. The module requires user-supplied AC power, as it is not compatible with DC power. Each output is safeguarded by individual 3 amp fuses, and an integrated RC snubber mitigates electrical noise that may arise on the line. The IC694MDL390 supports a broad range of incandescent and inductive loads, providing operational flexibility for industrial applications. It features five status-monitoring LEDs to indicate output activity and will illuminate a red LED in the event of a fuse failure. Additionally, safety is enhanced by high-voltage red bands on the label. Designed for installation in any I/O slot of an RX3i system, the module should be configured as an 8-point output module, referencing the five least significant bits in software applications. Technical specifications include a frequency of 50/60 Hz, an output voltage range of 85 to 264 VAC, a power consumption of 110 mA from the 5V backplane bus when all outputs are energized, and a maximum inrush current of 25 amps for one cycle. Minimum load current is 100 mA, with load current limitations dependent on ambient temperature as detailed in the manual.
