GE IC693MDL930E | Relay Output Module 12 Channel

The GE IC693MDL930E switches AC or DC loads through mechanical relay contacts. This relay output module serves the GE Fanuc Series 90-30 PLC platform. You can control motors, solenoids, valves, and indicator lights directly. The unit provides 12 isolated outputs with both normally open and normally closed contacts.

This relay output module weighs 0.32 kg for secure rack mounting. The unit occupies a single slot in a Series 90-30 chassis. Its width reaches 43 mm for standard I/O density. You can insert the GE IC693MDL930E alongside any 90-30 CPU or I/O modules.

Interface and Wiring Connections

A 24-position removable screw terminal block handles all field wiring. This terminal block accepts wire sizes from 0.2 to 2.5 mm². You will find three terminals per output (common, NO, NC). Each output features a yellow LED indicator for visual status confirmation. The front label shows clear channel numbering from 1 to 12.

Energy Storage and Internal Circuitry

The GE IC693MDL930E stores no significant electrical energy for output holding. Twelve mechanical relays retain their last state only when powered. The module does not contain any battery or supercapacitor for memory. Instead, the PLC CPU maintains all output states during normal operation. Small suppression diodes protect the relay coils from back EMF.

Component Layout and Construction

Twelve Omron G2R-series relays mount directly on the circuit board. Each relay includes an internal LED for coil status indication. You will find 24 resistors, 12 diodes, and 12 relays on the board. The GE IC693MDL930E includes no user-serviceable fuses on the outputs. A plastic cover protects the relay mechanisms from dust and debris.

Operational Use and System Integration

Transitioning to this module adds high-current switching to your 90-30 system. You can directly power small motors, contactors, or solenoid valves. The module works with both AC and DC loads without configuration changes. Use the GE IC693MDL930E for conveyor controls, packaging machines, or panel lighting. For best results, use external suppression devices for highly inductive loads.
