The GE Fanuc IC693MDL641 is a discrete input module designed for use within the 90-30 series PLC system, characterized by its negative logic feature. It operates at a rated voltage of 24 V and requires a DC power supply, drawing 80 mA from a 5V DC source. This lightweight module, weighing approximately 1 kg, incorporates 16 input points configured as a single group, facilitating seamless integration between the programmable logic controller and various input devices such as switches, push buttons, and proximity sensors.

The IC693MDL641 is equipped with a terminal block for connecting external devices and supports two wiring methods. The first, known as the direct method, connects wires from screws on the terminal board directly to field devices. The alternative method utilizes a terminal strip that mounts on the control enclosure of the module, allowing for a more organized connection to the field devices and terminal board. The module features removable terminal boards for easy access during wiring modifications, and the screw terminals provide convenient voltage measurement points for troubleshooting. With its active lifecycle status, the IC693MDL641 is a reliable component for industrial automation applications.
