GE IC693MDL340B Output Module

This GE IC693MDL340B module controls AC loads from PLC outputs. It switches 120V AC power to solenoids, contactors, and indicators. This output module belongs to the Series 90-30 product family.

Technical Specifications

The GE IC693MDL340B measures 140 mm in length. Its width reaches 32 mm with a height of 110 mm. This output module weighs approximately 0.31 kilograms. A single PCB assembly holds all output switching and isolation components.

Design and Energy Storage

This unit stores minimal energy in small snubber components. Each channel uses a triac for zero-cross switching. The module includes built-in snubber circuits for inductive loads. Surface-mount technology boosts reliability in industrial environments. Furthermore, this output module has LED indicators for each channel’s status.

Installation and Connectivity

You can mount this module into any Series 90-30 rack slot. It connects to field loads via a removable terminal block. A separate external fuse protects the module from overloads. Consequently, you complete the installation within a few minutes. Finally, color-coded labels identify each output channel clearly.

Performance and Load Control

This unit consumes only 3 watts during normal operation. Its zero-cross switching minimizes electrical noise on AC lines. Thus, you get reliable control for solenoid valves and motor contactors. Each output withstands continuous short circuits with external fusing. The module also includes transient suppression for inductive load switching.

Typical Applications

Use this output module for controlling conveyor motor starters. It also excels at energizing pilot lights and alarms. Many plants select this unit for HVAC damper actuator control. The compact module design saves valuable rack space effectively. Finally, removable terminal blocks allow quick module replacement without rewiring.
