GE Fanuc IC693MDL241

The IC693MDL241 is a 24-volt AC/DC Positive/Negative Input Module from the Series 90-30 family, engineered by GE Fanuc for robust industrial automation applications. This module comprises one group of 16 input points, all sharing a common power input terminal. It supports either positive or negative logic characteristics in the DC input mode, making it versatile for a variety of user-supplied input devices, including limit switches, push buttons, and electronic proximity switches. The input voltage range accommodates both AC and DC signals from 0 to +30 volts, with a frequency tolerance of 50/60 Hz and a typical input current of 7 mA at rated voltage. Noteworthy specifications include an on-state voltage range of 11.5 to 30 volts, while the off-state ranges from 0 to +4 volts. The module demonstrates a minimum on-state current of 3.2 mA and a maximum off-state current of 1 mA, with typical response times of 12 ms when activated and 28 ms when deactivated. Input activity results in a logic 1 in the input status table (%I). To power field devices, users can supply their own power or utilize the isolated +24 VDC output available from the power supply’s bottom terminals. The IC693MDL241 includes LED indicators for each input point, organized into two horizontal rows—8 green LEDs for inputs 1 to 8 in the top row, and another 8 for inputs 9 to 16 in the bottom row, marked as A1 through A8 and B1 through B8 respectively. Additionally, the module features a hinged door with an insert that separates its internal circuitry from the external interface; the internal side displays circuit wiring information, while the external side allows for circuit identification records. The blue color on the insert’s left edge denotes its classification as a low-voltage module. The IC693MDL241 can be seamlessly integrated into any I/O slot of a 5 or 10-slot baseplate within a Series 90-30 PLC system, ensuring flexibility and ease of installation in various configurations.
