GE Fanuc IC693MDL916

Part Number: IC693MDL916
The IC693MDL916 is a high-performance, 16-point Isolated Relay Output module designed for the GE Fanuc Series 90-30 control system. This module features 16 Form A relays that provide reliable control for various output loads, segmented into two groups of eight outputs, each with a shared common power output terminal. It supports an isolated relay configuration with a maximum output current of 4 Amperes per point, effectively handling a DC voltage range of 5 to 125 volts and an AC voltage range of 5 to 250 volts at frequencies between 47 and 63 Hz. The module consumes a maximum of 300 mA from the backplane at 5 VDC and operates with a normal response time of 10 milliseconds. For applications involving inductive loads, a suppression circuit activates to enhance the relay's performance and longevity: a 1A, 200V diode is utilized for DC suppression while resistor-capacitor combinations are typical for AC suppression scenarios. The IC693MDL916 serves as a crucial interface between Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) and various external output devices, including interposing relays, contactors, indicator lamps, and BCD displays. This module requires high-density terminal blocks, specifically the IC694TBBx32 or IC694TBSx32 for proper connectivity.
