GE IC693MDL640 Product Specification
Product Overview
The GE IC693MDL640 is a high-reliability 16-point digital output module designed for GE’s 90-30 Series Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) platform. Engineered to deliver precise control in industrial automation systems, this module serves as a critical interface between the PLC and field devices, enabling reliable switching of inductive or resistive loads. The GE IC693MDL640 is built to withstand harsh industrial environments, making it ideal for applications in manufacturing, power generation, and oil & gas where consistent performance is non-negotiable.
As part of the 90-30 Series, the GE IC693MDL640 integrates seamlessly with other 90-30 modules (e.g., CPUs, power supplies, input modules) to form a scalable control system. It features 16 isolated output channels, each capable of switching 24 VDC at 2 A, with built-in surge protection to mitigate electrical disturbances. The module’s compact design (101.6 mm × 114.3 mm × 127 mm) and lightweight construction (0.9 kg) facilitate easy installation in standard 19″ racks, while its wide operating temperature range (-40°C to +60°C) ensures durability in demanding settings.
In automation architectures, the GE IC693MDL640 acts as a bridge between the PLC’s control logic and field actuators (e.g., valves, motors, indicators). Its LED status indicators provide real-time feedback on channel activity, simplifying diagnostics and maintenance. By combining robust hardware with flexible configuration via GE’s VersaPro software, the module empowers engineers to optimize process control, reduce downtime, and enhance system efficiency.

Main Features and Advantages
High-Density Output Capability: The GE IC693MDL640 supports 16 isolated output channels, allowing efficient control of multiple field devices from a single module. This high density reduces rack space requirements and simplifies wiring in complex systems.
Robust Electrical Design: Each output channel features surge protection (1 kV transient withstand) and short-circuit protection, ensuring reliability even in environments with electrical noise or power fluctuations. The sink (NPN) configuration is compatible with a wide range of industrial actuators.
Real-Time Diagnostics: Front-panel LED indicators for each channel provide instant visibility into output status (on/off), enabling quick fault detection. The module also supports diagnostic feedback via the PLC, allowing remote monitoring of channel health.
Wide Environmental Tolerance: Built to withstand extreme temperatures and humidity, the GE IC693MDL640 operates reliably in harsh industrial settings, eliminating the need for additional environmental conditioning. Its rugged construction meets CE and UL standards for industrial durability.
Seamless System Integration: As part of the 90-30 Series, the module connects directly to the PLC’s backplane, enabling high-speed data transfer and hot-swappable replacement without powering down the system. This feature minimizes downtime during maintenance or upgrades.

Before installing the GE IC693MDL640, ensure the following:
- Verify the power supply matches 24 VDC ±10% and that the PLC rack is properly grounded to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD).
- Use GE’s VersaPro software to configure output parameters (e.g., fail-safe state, response time) based on application requirements.
- Mount the module on a DIN rail or rack, leaving at least 25 mm of clearance for airflow and heat dissipation.
Maintenance Recommendations:
- Routine Inspections: Monthly checks of front-panel LEDs to confirm normal operation (green for active, off for inactive). Replace any channel showing consistent red indicators, which may signal a fault.
- Electrical Testing: Annual verification of output voltage and current using a multimeter to ensure compliance with specifications.
- Environmental Monitoring: Regularly clean dust from the module’s vents in dusty environments to prevent overheating. Monitor ambient temperature to ensure it stays within -40°C to +60°C.
