GE IC693MDL731 Series 90-30 16-Channel Digital Output Module
Product Overview
The GE IC693MDL731 is a 16-channel 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 indicator lights. This functionality makes it essential for automation systems in manufacturing, energy, and water treatment industries.
The GE IC693MDL731 operates with 24V DC power. It provides 16 independent channels. Each channel can switch up to 0.5A of current. This allows it to handle a range of devices from small indicators to medium-sized valves. The module is designed to fit into Series 90-30 racks such as the IC693CHS397. It works seamlessly with controllers like the IC693CPU374 and power supplies like the IC693PWR330.
Built for industrial environments, the GE IC693MDL731 functions in temperatures from 0°C to 60°C. It resists dust, vibrations, and electrical noise. This ensures reliable performance in harsh settings such as factory floors or outdoor control cabinets. LED indicators on the front panel show the status of each channel. This makes it easy to troubleshoot issues like loose connections or device failures.

Main features and advantages
16-channel capacity: The IC693MDL731 has 16 independent channels. This allows it to control up to 16 devices at once. Examples include 8 relays and 8 indicator lights in a packaging line. This reduces the number of modules needed in the rack. It saves space and lowers costs.
24V DC compatibility: The module operates on 24V DC. This is a standard voltage in industrial settings. It works with most sensors, relays, and small motors. There is no need for voltage converters. This simplifies wiring and integration.
Rugged industrial design: The IC693MDL731 is built to handle harsh conditions. It operates in temperatures from 0°C to 60°C. It resists dust, vibrations, and electrical noise. It performs reliably in factory floors, outdoor cabinets, and other tough environments. It does not require special enclosures in most cases.
Diagnostic indicators: LED lights on the front panel show the status of each channel. A lit LED means the channel is active (outputting power). A dark LED means it is inactive. This makes it easy to troubleshoot. Technicians can quickly see if a channel is working or if there is a problem with the connected device.
Series 90-30 compatibility: The IC693MDL731 fits into all Series 90-30 racks. It works with controllers like the IC693CPU374 and power supplies like the IC693PWR330. This compatibility allows users to upgrade existing systems. They can add more output channels without replacing other components. This saves time and money.
Overcurrent protection: Each channel has built-in overcurrent protection. It shuts down if the current exceeds 0.5A. This protects the module and connected devices from damage. Examples include short circuits in wiring or faulty motors. It reduces the risk of system failures and repair costs.
Fast response time: The IC693MDL731 switches outputs quickly. It responds to signals from the controller in milliseconds. This is important for time-sensitive applications. Examples include stopping a conveyor belt when a sensor detects a jam or activating a safety valve in an emergency.

Installation and maintenance
Pre-installation preparations: Power off the Series 90-30 rack. Ensure the rack is compatible. Examples include the IC693CHS397. Check for an open slot in the rack. Gather tools such as a screwdriver and anti-static wristband. Inspect the IC693MDL731 for physical damage. Check that connectors are clean and undamaged. Verify the power supply (e.g., IC693PWR330) provides 24V DC. Ensure the supply can handle the total current of all connected devices (up to 8A for the module).
Maintenance suggestions: Inspect the IC693MDL731 monthly. Check for loose connections in the rack and wiring to devices. Wipe dust from the front panel with a dry cloth. This keeps the LED indicators visible. Monitor the LEDs during operation. A channel that should be active but has a dark LED may indicate a problem. Check the wiring or the connected device. If a channel fails, power off the rack before replacing the module. This prevents damage to other components.
