Overview and Functional Role
The GE IC693MDL741C is a robust discrete output module for PLC systems. Originally from GE Fanuc, this module now falls under Emerson Automation’s portfolio. It provides sixteen dedicated output channels for controlling field devices. Consequently, it acts as a critical interface between your logic controller and industrial actuators.
Electrical Specifications and Channel Configuration
This module efficiently switches 12/24 VDC loads with negative logic operation. Furthermore, it organizes its sixteen channels into two isolated groups of eight. Each output point can handle a steady current of 0.5 Amperes. Moreover, each common terminal supports a combined current of up to 2 Amperes for its channel group.

Design for Safety and Reliability
The module provides substantial 1500V isolation between the logic and field sides. This design protects the sensitive PLC backplane from potential field-side voltage transients. Additionally, the 500V isolation between output groups enhances wiring flexibility and safety. For protecting the DC power supply itself, a device like the RMS-TSG-TZ-C static trip unit can offer essential circuit protection.
Application and Integration Value
The GE IC693MDL741C is ideal for controlling valves, relays, and indicators in 90-30 systems. Its clear grouping simplifies wiring for common power configurations. Choosing this genuine module guarantees mechanical fit and electrical compatibility with your rack. Ultimately, it delivers a proven and reliable solution for industrial automation output needs.
