I/O modules

Core Functionality and Application

The GE IC693MDL752 negative logic output module connects actuators and indicators to the Series 90-30 PLC system. This 12-channel discrete output module uses negative logic (sourcing) for applications requiring high-side switching . It controls solenoid valves, motor starters, indicator lamps, and relay coils directly. Additionally, the module provides short-circuit protection and thermal shutdown for reliable field operation .

Technical Specifications

The following table details the core technical parameters for the GE IC693MDL752:

Output Logic and Wiring

The GE IC693MDL752 employs negative logic where the output terminal connects to the positive supply rail when active. This sourcing output configuration simplifies wiring with devices that have a common ground. Each channel provides 0.5 A continuous current, which suits small solenoid valves and indicator lamps . Users should observe the module’s temperature derating for currents above 4 A .

Design and Protection Features

The GE IC693MDL752 features optical isolation that protects the PLC backplane from field surges . Integrated short-circuit protection prevents damage to the module and connected devices . Thermal shutdown reduces the output current automatically when operating temperatures exceed safe limits . LED indicators on the front panel clearly show each channel’s active state . Additionally, the module supports hot insertion for replacement without system shutdown .

System Compatibility

The GE IC693MDL752 works with all Series 90-30 CPU models and power supplies . It integrates seamlessly with positive logic input modules for complete control loops . Users must pair this output module with a compatible terminal block . This module’s sourcing outputs suit applications with grounded loads and common-return configurations .
