The IC693MDL742D serves as a 16-point discrete output module within the GE Series 90-30 PLC platform. This unit delivers 12/24 VDC positive logic switching for industrial control applications. Consequently, engineers deploy this module to drive solenoids, relays, and motor starters in automated systems.
Output Configuration and ESCP Protection
This module provides 16 sourcing outputs organized into two isolated groups of eight channels each. Each group operates independently with dedicated electronic short circuit protection (ESCP). Therefore, a fault in one group does not affect the other bank’s operation.
The IC693MDL742D eliminates traditional fuses through its electronic protection design. When a short circuit occurs, the affected group shuts down and a red “F” LED illuminates. Operators simply remove the field supply to reset the protection circuit.

Physical Design and Diagnostics
Green LEDs labeled A1–A8 and B1–B8 indicate each output’s ON/OFF status. The module’s hinged door contains wiring information on its inner surface. Additionally, the blue color strip identifies this unit as a low-voltage module. Technicians can install this unit in any I/O slot of a 5-slot or 10-slot Series 90-30 baseplate.
