Description
GE IC693MDL340D Series 90-30 Digital Output Module
Product Overview
The GE IC693MDL340D is a digital output module designed for GE’s Series 90-30 PLC system. It serves as a critical link between the PLC controller and industrial devices. It converts digital signals from the controller into electrical outputs. These outputs control devices such as relays, solenoid valves, and contactors. This functionality makes it essential for automation processes in manufacturing, energy, and water treatment sectors.
The GE IC693MDL340D features 16 channels. Each channel provides 24V DC output. Each channel can deliver up to 0.5A of current. This capacity allows it to handle multiple small to medium-sized devices. Examples include activating conveyor belt motors or opening/closing valves in a chemical plant.
As part of the Series 90-30 platform, the GE IC693MDL340D integrates seamlessly with other modules. These modules include the IC693CPU374 controller, IC693PWR330 power supply, and IC693CHS397 rack. It operates in temperatures ranging from 0°C to 60°C. It resists dust and vibrations common in factory settings. Its compact design fits easily into standard control cabinets, making it suitable for both new installations and system upgrades.

Main features and advantages
16-channel capacity: The IC693MDL340D has 16 channels. Each channel can control a separate device. This allows it to manage multiple components in a single system. Examples include controlling 10 conveyor belts and 6 sorting gates in a distribution center. It reduces the need for extra modules, saving space in the control cabinet.
24V DC output: The module provides 24V DC output. This is a standard voltage for industrial devices. It works with most relays, solenoids, and small motors. Users do not need to add voltage converters. This simplifies system design and reduces costs.
High current per channel: Each channel of the IC693MDL340D delivers up to 0.5A. This is enough to power devices like solenoid valves and small contactors. Groups of channels can handle up to 4A, allowing for coordinated control of multiple devices without overloading.
Industrial durability: The IC693MDL340D operates in temperatures from 0°C to 60°C. It resists dust and vibrations. It does not require special enclosures in most factory settings. This durability ensures reliable operation in harsh environments, such as near welding machines or in hot production areas.
Isolation protection: The module has 1500V AC isolation between channels and logic circuits. This protects the PLC system from electrical noise and voltage spikes. It prevents damage from devices like motors, which can generate interference. This protection extends the life of the CPU and other sensitive components.
Series 90-30 compatibility: The IC693MDL340D fits into all Series 90-30 racks. It works with all Series 90-30 CPUs, power supplies, and input modules. This compatibility allows users to expand existing systems by adding the IC693MDL340D without replacing other parts.
Easy troubleshooting: LED indicators on the front panel show the status of each channel. A lit LED means the channel is active. A dark LED means it is off. This allows technicians to quickly check if an output is working. It helps identify issues like a loose wire or a failed device.

Installation and maintenance
Pre-installation preparations: Turn off power to the Series 90-30 rack. Ensure the rack (such as the IC693CHS397) has an open slot for the IC693MDL340D. Check that the power supply (like the IC693PWR330) provides 24V DC. Gather tools such as a screwdriver and anti-static wristband. Inspect the module for damage. Ensure connectors are clean and free of debris.
Maintenance suggestions: Inspect the IC693MDL340D monthly. Check for loose connections. Wipe dust from the front panel with a dry cloth. Verify that LED indicators match the expected output status. If a channel fails, check the connected device first. If the device works, the IC693MDL340D may need replacement. Replace the module by turning off power, removing the old module, and inserting the new IC693MDL340D. Turn power back on and test the outputs.
