The GE IC693MDL646 reliably interfaces field-level digital signals with your Series 90-30 PLC. This 16-channel discrete input module accepts a wide 0-30 VDC range for maximum compatibility. Consequently, it efficiently monitors the status of switches, sensors, and relay contacts in industrial environments.
Core Electrical Characteristics and Wiring
This module features sixteen individually isolated input channels organized in one group with a single common. Moreover, it supports both positive and negative logic wiring configurations for design flexibility. Therefore, engineers can easily integrate various PNP (sourcing) or NPN (sinking) field devices. The module draws 7 mA per channel when an input is in the active “On” state.

Integration and Application Benefits
Installing this module provides a cost-effective solution for gathering multiple digital status signals. Furthermore, the high 1500V isolation protects the sensitive PLC backplane from field-side voltage transients. This module is ideal for monitoring pushbuttons, limit switches, and proximity sensors on machinery. For comprehensive system protection, these inputs can be wired to monitor the status of safety devices like the RMS-TSG-TZ-C Static Trip.
