GE Fanuc IC693MDL340

The IC693MDL340 output module is a high-performance component of the GE Fanuc Series 90-30, designed for industrial automation and control applications. This module operates at a nominal voltage of 120 volts AC, with a versatile output voltage range of 85 to 132 volts AC, and supports frequencies of 50/60 Hz. It offers 16 output points, organized into two isolated groups of eight, each with an independent common, allowing for flexibility in power supply configurations. Each group is equipped with a 3-ampere fuse for circuit protection and features RC snubbers to mitigate transient electrical noise.

The IC693MDL340 can handle a maximum output current of 0.5 amperes per point and up to 3 amperes per group, making it suitable for a variety of loads, including both inductive and incandescent types. Its outputs are capable of delivering high inrush current, accommodating the demands of substantial load applications. The module requires a dedicated AC power supply to operate the connected loads, and functions solely on AC power.

User-friendly indicators include LED signaling lights for each output point, which provide a clear ON/OFF status. The module features an integrated door design that displays circuit wiring information internally while offering circuit identification externally; its left edge is color-coded red to signify its high-voltage operation. The IC693MDL340 is easily installed in any I/O slot of a 5 or 10-slot baseplate within a Series 90-30 PLC system. With a maximum ON response time of 1 ms and an OFF response time of ½ cycle, this module has a power consumption of 315 mA from the backplane's 5V bus when all outputs are active.

Technical specifications include:
- Rated Voltage: 120 volts AC
- Output Voltage Range: 85 to 132 volts AC
- Output Current: 0.5 Amps per point, with a maximum of 3 Amps per group
- Inrush Current: 20 Amps per cycle
- Output Voltage Drop: 1.5 Volts Maximum
- Output Leakage Current: 2 milliamps Maximum at 120 Volts AC.

The IC693MDL340 stands as a reliable choice for applications necessitating versatile and robust AC output capabilities within the GE Fanuc automation framework.
