This output module drives AC loads in GE Fanuc Series 90-30 programmable logic controller systems. It provides 16 discrete output points for controlling relays, contactors, and indicator lamps. Engineers choose this module for its high inrush current capability and robust isolation features. Its design suits demanding industrial applications such as pump stations and conveyor systems.
Output Architecture and Load Driving Capability
The GE IC693MDL340G offers 16 output points arranged in two isolated groups of eight points each . Each group features an independent common terminal for flexible power source configuration . This isolation allows each group to operate on different AC supply phases or share the same source . The module provides a high inrush current of 20 amps for one cycle . Consequently, it effectively controls inductive loads like motor contactors and incandescent lamps.
Electrical Specifications and Protection Features
The GE IC693MDL340G operates with an output voltage range of 85 to 132 VAC at 50/60 Hz . Each output point delivers a maximum current of 0.5 amps, while each group supports up to 3 amps total . A 3 amp fuse protects each group against overcurrent conditions . Additionally, RC snubbers on each output suppress transient electrical noise from inductive load switching . The module provides 1,500 volts of isolation between field and logic sides .

Status Indication and Diagnostics
The GE IC693MDL340G features LED indicators at the top of the module . Two horizontal rows of green LEDs, labeled A1 through A8 and B1 through B8, show each point’s ON/OFF status . A red LED labeled “F” illuminates when either group fuse blows . The red edge on the insert identifies this as a high-voltage module . Furthermore, the hinged door provides circuit wiring information on its inside surface.
Installation and System Integration
This module installs in any I/O slot of a 5 or 10-slot baseplate in a Series 90-30 PLC system . The user must supply external AC power to operate connected loads . The module draws 315 mA from the 5 V bus on the backplane when all outputs are on . The terminal block accepts wire sizes from 0.5 to 2.5 mm² . Consequently, this module provides a reliable solution for AC load control applications.
