GE IC694MDL660 Product Specification
Product Overview
The GE IC694MDL660 is a high-performance 16-point discrete output module engineered for GE’s Series 90-40 PLC platform, designed to interface with field actuators, valves, and motors in industrial automation, manufacturing, and process control applications. As a key component of the Series 90-40 distributed architecture, this module converts digital commands from the PLC controller into 24 VDC output signals, enabling precise control of external devices in mission-critical systems.
Integrated into the Series 90-40 system, the GE IC694MDL660 features two isolated groups of 8 outputs each, providing 250 VAC/VDC isolation between groups to protect against electrical surges and electromagnetic interference (EMI) in high-noise industrial environments such as factory floors and power plants. Each output channel delivers up to 0.5 A of current, making it suitable for driving solenoid valves, small motors, and indicator lights.
The GE IC694MDL660’s compact design (115 mm × 220 mm × 125 mm) and rugged construction—including a conformal coating and IP20-rated enclosure—ensure reliable operation in temperatures ranging from 0°C to 60°C, with resistance to vibration (10–2000 Hz, 10 G rms) and humidity (5–95% non-condensing). Front-panel LEDs provide real-time status monitoring for individual channels, simplifying troubleshooting, while compatibility with GE’s Proficy software allows easy configuration of output behavior (e.g., fail-safe states) to match application needs. Its hot-swappable design minimizes downtime during maintenance, a critical advantage in continuous-process industries like automotive manufacturing and chemical processing.

Main Features and Advantages
Rugged Isolation and Noise Immunity:
The GE IC694MDL660’s dual isolated groups prevent electrical interference between channels, critical in environments with motors, welders, or high-voltage equipment. Its 2500 Vrms isolation rating safeguards against voltage spikes from transient events like lightning strikes or equipment startup, reducing the risk of signal corruption and ensuring stable operation in noisy industrial settings.

High-current output capability:
Each channel of the GE IC694MDL660 delivers up to 0.5 A, enabling direct control of devices such as solenoid valves, relay coils, and small DC motors without external amplifiers. This eliminates the need for intermediate components, simplifying system design and reducing points of failure in applications like conveyor belt control or packaging machine actuation.

Real-time diagnostics:
Front-panel LEDs (one per channel) provide instant visual feedback of output status—illuminating green when active—allowing technicians to quickly identify faults such as open circuits or overcurrent conditions. The module’s built-in overcurrent protection triggers within 10 ms of a fault, preventing damage to outputs and connected devices, while faults can be reset remotely via the PLC or GE’s Proficy software.

Seamless integration:
The GE IC694MDL660 interfaces directly with GE IC694CPU331 (Series 90-40 CPU) and GE IC694CHS442 (10-slot rack), enabling plug-and-play compatibility in distributed control systems. Its support for the Series 90-40 backplane protocol ensures high-speed data exchange (up to 5 Mbps) with the controller, supporting real-time control in time-sensitive applications like automotive assembly lines.

Flexible configuration:
The module supports both sourcing and sinking output modes, allowing compatibility with diverse field devices—from NPN to PNP sensors—without hardware modifications. Engineers can configure fail-safe behavior (e.g., outputs default to “off” or “last state” during power loss) via Proficy software, tailoring the system to safety requirements in industries like pharmaceuticals or food processing.

Installation and Maintenance
Pre-installation preparations: Before installing GE IC694MDL660, verify the control rack or DIN rail is properly grounded to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD). Use an ESD wrist strap during handling to protect sensitive components. Mount the module in a GE IC694CHS442 rack or on a 35 mm DIN rail with at least 30 mm clearance for airflow, securing it with M3 screws (torque: 0.5 N·m). Connect 24 VDC external power to the terminal block, ensuring correct polarity, and link the module to the PLC backplane via the rack’s internal connectors.
Maintenance suggestions: Perform monthly visual inspections of GE IC694MDL660 front-panel LEDs to confirm normal operation—active channels should display steady green. Clean dust from ventilation slots using compressed air to maintain cooling efficiency. Quarterly, use a multimeter to verify output voltage (24 VDC ±5%) and check terminal connections for corrosion, especially in humid environments. Annually, update firmware via Proficy software to access bug fixes and enhance compatibility with newer Series 90-40 components. Test output functionality by simulating PLC commands to ensure reliable actuation of connected devices.
