Description
GE IC693MDL645E Product Specification
Product Overview
The GE IC693MDL645E is a 16-point discrete output module designed for GE’s Series 90-30 PLC systems. It acts as a bridge between the PLC’s central processing unit (CPU) and external devices, converting digital signals from the CPU into electrical outputs that control relays, solenoids, motors, and other industrial equipment. This module is a key part of automation systems, ensuring that commands from the PLC are reliably executed in real time.
The GE IC693MDL645E supports 24 VDC output voltage, with each channel capable of delivering up to 0.5 amps of current. It is compatible with Series 90-30 CPUs such as the IC693CPU350 and fits into racks like the IC693CHS391M (10-slot) and IC693CHS398H (16-slot). The module’s design includes isolation between channels, which prevents electrical interference from affecting other parts of the system. This isolation is critical in noisy industrial environments where multiple devices operate simultaneously.
The GE IC693MDL645E is built to handle tough conditions. It operates in temperatures ranging from 0°C to 60°C and can withstand humidity levels between 5% and 95% without condensation. Its compact size (110 mm × 80 mm × 40 mm) and lightweight structure (0.4 kg) make it easy to install in control cabinets with limited space. Front-panel LEDs show the status of each output channel, letting technicians quickly see if a channel is active or if there’s a fault. Whether in factories, power plants, or water treatment facilities, the GE IC693MDL645E provides reliable control for industrial equipment.

Main Features and Advantages
High output capacity: Each channel of the GE IC693MDL645E can deliver 0.5 A, which is enough to power most industrial relays and small motors. The total current limit of 4 A ensures that the module can handle multiple devices operating at the same time without overloading. This makes it suitable for controlling complex setups like conveyor systems with multiple motors.
Channel isolation: The GE IC693MDL645E has 250 VAC isolation between each output channel and the system logic. This stops electrical noise from one channel affecting others. For example, if a motor connected to one channel creates a voltage spike, the isolation prevents this spike from disrupting signals in other channels. This is important in factories with many electrical devices.
Durable design: The GE IC693MDL645E is built to work in harsh industrial settings. It can handle temperatures from 0°C to 60°C, which is typical in factories and power plants. It also resists dust and moisture, so it keeps working even in dirty or humid environments. This durability reduces the need for frequent replacements.
Easy integration: The GE IC693MDL645E fits into any Series 90-30 rack without extra wiring. It works seamlessly with Series 90-30 CPUs like the IC693CPU350, so it can be added to existing systems without major changes. This saves time and money during installation.
Clear status monitoring: Front-panel LEDs on the GE IC693MDL645E light up when a channel is active. If there’s a problem, like an overload, the LED for that channel turns off or flickers. This lets technicians quickly find issues without using special tools, reducing downtime.

Installation and Maintenance
Pre-installation preparations: Before installing the GE IC693MDL645E, turn off power to the Series 90-30 rack. Make sure the rack is properly grounded to prevent static electricity damage. Check that the rack (such as the IC693CHS391M) has an empty slot. Align the module with the slot and slide it in until it clicks into place. Ensure the backplane connector is fully seated to guarantee good electrical contact.
Maintenance suggestions: Check the GE IC693MDL645E monthly. Look at the front-panel LEDs to make sure all active channels are lit. Clean dust from the module with compressed air to keep it cool. Every three months, check the wiring connections to external devices. Loose wires can cause the module to work improperly. If a channel stops working, turn off the power, remove the module, and reinsert it to fix possible loose connections. Replace the module if it still fails to operate.
Application Areas
In manufacturing: Factories use the GE IC693MDL645E to control robotic arms on assembly lines. The module receives signals from the PLC, which tells it to activate specific channels. These channels then power the motors that move the robotic arms, ensuring precise movements for tasks like welding or painting.
In power plants: The GE IC693MDL645E controls valves in turbine systems. It opens or closes valves based on commands from the PLC, which monitors pressure and temperature. This helps keep the turbine running smoothly and prevents damage from high pressure.
In water treatment: The module operates pumps and valve actuators in treatment plants. It turns pumps on when water levels rise and off when levels drop, based on signals from level sensors. This ensures that water is moved through filters and treatment stages efficiently.
In food processing: The GE IC693MDL645E controls conveyor belts and packaging machines. It starts or stops the belts to match the speed of filling machines, reducing waste and ensuring packages are filled correctly.
