This input simulator module weighs only 0.18 kg for portable use. The unit measures 45 mm tall by 120 mm wide. Its depth reaches 70 mm including the ribbon cable exit. You can hold the GE IC693ACC300C in one hand while pressing buttons with the other.

Interface and Connection Points

A 50-pin ribbon cable with a female connector plugs into the I/O card. The cable length reaches 0.5 meters for flexible positioning near the rack. You will find 16 momentary push buttons arranged in two rows of eight. Each button has a white label area for marking channel numbers. The housing includes four rubber feet for desk-top stability.

Energy Storage and Internal Circuitry

The GE IC693ACC300C stores no electrical energy whatsoever. It contains no batteries, capacitors, or active electronic components. The module simply connects each button directly to a pin on the ribbon cable. Pressing a button shorts the input pin to a +24 VDC supply pin. The I/O card supplies the 24 VDC through the ribbon cable.

Component Layout and Construction

Sixteen normally open push buttons mount on a small printed circuit board. A 50-pin IDC connector attaches the ribbon cable to the board. You will find no resistors, capacitors, or integrated circuits inside. The GE IC693ACC300C uses gold-plated button contacts for reliable operation. A clear plastic label sheet covers the button tops for channel identification.

Operational Use and System Integration

Transitioning to this tool reduces commissioning time for PLC programs. You can test all 16 input points without connecting any field wiring. The simulator works with IC693MDL240, MDL241, MDL645, and MDL646 input modules. Use the GE IC693ACC300C for offline program testing, training, or troubleshooting. For best results, press and hold multiple buttons simultaneously to simulate complex conditions.
