Description
Product Overview
The GE IC693MDR390C is a mixed I/O module designed for GE Fanuc Series 90-30 PLCs, integrating 8 discrete 24V DC inputs and 8 relay outputs in a single compact housing. It supports AC/DC loads (5–250V AC/5–30V DC) with 2A switching capacity per channel, making it ideal for industrial automation systems requiring both signal monitoring and high-power actuation. With 1,500V RMS isolation between field and logic sides, the module ensures robust performance in high-noise environments. Key features include LED status indicators, tool-free installation, and Class 1 Div 2 certification for hazardous areas 312.

Main Features and Advantages
Dual-Function Integration: Combines 8 digital inputs for monitoring switches, sensors, or proximity devices with 8 relay outputs for controlling solenoids, motors, or alarms. This reduces module count and simplifies wiring in space-constrained systems 312.
Wide Voltage Compatibility: Supports 24V DC inputs and AC/DC outputs, eliminating the need for separate modules in hybrid AC/DC environments. Outputs handle up to 2A per channel, enabling direct connection to high-power loads 512.
Hazardous Environment Compliance: With Class 1 Div 2 certification, the module is suitable for use in explosive atmospheres (e.g., oil refineries, chemical plants), ensuring compliance with safety standards 12.
Industrial-Grade Reliability: Built with IP20-rated protection against dust and accidental contact, the module operates reliably in extreme temperatures (-40°C to +85°C storage) 12. 1,500V RMS isolation safeguards against voltage spikes and electromagnetic interference.
User-Friendly Design: Tool-less hinged doors and color-coded terminal blocks simplify wiring, while LED indicators provide real-time status feedback. The module supports hot-swap capability with compatible CPUs, minimizing downtime 512.
Cost-Effective Scalability: Compatible with Series 90-30 baseplates and CPUs (e.g., IC693CPU374), the IC693MDR390C allows seamless expansion of control systems without redesign 512.
Application Areas
Hazardous Industrial Settings: Controls explosion-proof valves, motor starters, and alarms in oil/gas processing plants, leveraging its Class 1 Div 2 certification 12.
Manufacturing Automation: Monitors limit switches and actuates pneumatic cylinders in automotive assembly lines, with relay outputs directly driving 2A loads 12.
Process Industries: Integrates with batch processing systems in pharmaceuticals, where inputs monitor level sensors and outputs control sterilization equipment 5.
Power Generation: Manages turbine control relays and breaker coils in thermal plants, ensuring reliable operation under high voltage 12.
