GE IC693MDL940J Digital Output Module
Product Overview
The GE IC693MDL940J is a 16-channel digital output module designed for GE’s Series 90-30 PLC systems, a key platform in industrial automation. This module converts digital signals from the PLC into electrical outputs. These outputs control external devices like motors, valves, and alarms. It acts as a bridge between the PLC’s processing unit and field equipment, making it essential for automated processes.
As part of the IC693 Series, the GE IC693MDL940J works with Series 90-30 backplane racks such as the IC693CHS393 and CPUs like the IC693CPU364. It fits into the rack’s slot, getting power and sending/receiving data through the backplane. The IC693MDL940J supports 24 V DC outputs. Each channel can handle up to 2 A of current, with a total module current limit of 8 A. This makes it strong enough for most industrial actuators.
Built for tough environments, the GE IC693MDL940J operates in temperatures from 0°C to 60°C and humidity up to 95% (non-condensing). It resists dust and vibrations, working reliably in factories, automotive plants, and food processing facilities. Even though GE no longer makes it, the GE IC693MDL940J remains vital for keeping older Series 90-30 systems running. It avoids the need for full system upgrades, saving time and money.

Main features and advantages
16 channels for versatile control: The IC693MDL940J has 16 channels. This lets it control 16 separate devices at once, like 16 small motors or valves. It reduces the number of modules needed in a system, saving space in control cabinets.
Strong current handling: Each channel handles up to 2 A. This is enough for most industrial devices, from small solenoid valves to conveyor belt motors. The total 8 A limit prevents overloads, keeping the module and connected equipment safe.
Reliable isolation: The module has 1500 V AC isolation between channels and the backplane. This stops electrical noise from nearby machines affecting the module. It also protects the PLC from voltage spikes from devices like motors.
Tough for industrial use: The IC693MDL940J works in hot, cold, or damp places. It handles dust and vibrations, making it good for factories, car plants, and outdoor installations. It keeps working even in harsh conditions, reducing downtime.
Easy to integrate: It fits into Series 90-30 racks without special tools. It works with all Series 90-30 CPUs and backplanes. This makes it simple to add to existing systems or replace old modules. No need to change the whole system.

Installation and maintenance
Pre-installation preparations: Check that the IC693MDL940J fits your Series 90-30 backplane rack (like the IC693CHS393). Make sure there is an empty slot. Turn off the PLC system before installing. Slide the module into the slot until it clicks. Connect wires from the module’s terminals to the devices it will control (motors, valves, etc.). Use 14–22 AWG wires. Tighten terminal screws to 5 lb-in. Turn the system on. Check the module’s green light is on, meaning it works.
Maintenance suggestions: Check the IC693MDL940J regularly. Wipe dust off with a dry cloth to stop overheating. Look at wire connections to make sure they are tight. Loose wires can cause devices to work incorrectly. If a channel stops working, check the connected device first. If the device is fine, turn off the system, take out the module, and put it back in. This fixes loose connections. Keep a spare IC693MDL940J in a dry, cool place (10–30°C) to replace quickly if needed.
Application fields
The GE IC693MDL940J is used in many industries where digital control of devices is needed:
- Automotive manufacturing: In car factories, it controls robotic grippers, conveyor belt motors, and welding machine triggers. The 16 channels let it manage multiple tools in an assembly line, keeping production moving smoothly.
- Food processing: It operates filling valves in bottling lines and sorting gates for packaged food. Its tough design handles washdowns with cleaning chemicals, meeting food safety rules.
- Material handling: In warehouses, it controls conveyor belt starters and sorting diverters. It works with input modules to start or stop belts when sensors detect packages, moving goods efficiently.
- Water treatment: It turns on and off pumps and valves in filtration systems. It responds to input signals from water level sensors, making sure tanks fill or empty as needed. Its isolation protects it from water-related electrical issues.
