Description
GE IC693MDL752D Product Specification
Product Overview
The GE IC693MDL752D is a 16-point discrete input module designed for GE’s Series 90-30 PLC systems. It serves as a critical link between field devices—such as sensors, limit switches, and pushbuttons—and the PLC’s central processing unit (CPU). The module converts physical signals from these devices into digital data that the CPU can process, enabling the automation system to monitor and respond to real-world conditions.
The GE IC693MDL752D operates with 24 VDC input signals, a standard in industrial settings, making it compatible with most low-voltage sensors and switches. It fits seamlessly into Series 90-30 racks like the IC693CHS391M (10-slot) and IC693CHS398H (16-slot), working alongside CPUs such as the IC693CPU350. This integration ensures smooth communication within the PLC system, with data transmitted quickly to support timely decision-making in automated processes.
Built to withstand harsh industrial environments, the GE IC693MDL752D functions reliably in temperatures from 0°C to 60°C and humidity from 5% to 95% (non-condensing). Its rugged design includes optical isolation between field inputs and the PLC backplane, protecting the system from voltage spikes and electrical noise. Front-panel LEDs indicate the status of each input channel, making it easy to identify issues like a faulty sensor or broken wire. Whether in factories, packaging lines, or material handling systems, the GE IC693MDL752D provides consistent, accurate signal conversion for efficient automation control.

Main Features and Advantages
16-point input capacity: The GE IC693MDL752D offers 16 channels, enough to connect multiple sensors or switches in a single module. This reduces the number of modules needed in the rack, saving space and simplifying wiring in control cabinets.
Optical isolation: Each input channel is optically isolated from the PLC backplane. This isolation blocks electrical noise and voltage spikes from field devices, preventing damage to the CPU and ensuring accurate signal reading—critical in factories with heavy machinery that generates interference.
24 VDC compatibility: The module works with 24 VDC inputs, the most common voltage for industrial sensors. This means it can connect directly to proximity sensors, photoelectric switches, and limit switches without extra converters, cutting down on setup time and costs.
Rugged design: The GE IC693MDL752D handles tough conditions. It operates in temperatures from 0°C to 60°C and resists humidity, dust, and vibration. This durability ensures reliable performance in food processing plants, outdoor pump stations, and other harsh settings.
Clear status indicators: Front-panel LEDs light up when an input signal is detected. This lets technicians quickly see which sensors are active or if a channel is faulty, reducing troubleshooting time. For example, a dark LED on a conveyor sensor channel can immediately point to a broken wire or dead sensor.

Installation and Maintenance
Pre-installation preparations: Before installing the GE IC693MDL752D, turn off power to the Series 90-30 rack (such as IC693CHS391M). Check that the rack is properly grounded to avoid static damage. Use an anti-static wristband when handling the module. Align the module with an empty slot in the rack, then slide it in until it clicks into place. Connect field wiring to the terminal block, using 24 VDC power for the input devices. Ensure wires are tightly secured to prevent loose connections.
Maintenance suggestions: Inspect the GE IC693MDL752D monthly. Check that all LEDs work correctly—each should light up when its connected sensor is active. Clean dust from the module with compressed air to keep it cool. Every three months, tighten terminal block screws to prevent wiring issues. If a channel stops working, disconnect the field wire and test the sensor with a multimeter. If the sensor works, reinsert the module to ensure a good backplane connection.
Application Areas
In manufacturing: The GE IC693MDL752D monitors sensors on assembly lines. For example, it reads signals from photoelectric switches that detect when a part arrives at a robotic workstation. The module sends this data to the CPU, which then tells the robot to start welding or fastening—keeping the line moving smoothly.
In packaging: It connects to limit switches on packaging machines. These switches detect when a carton is in position, and the module sends this signal to the PLC. The PLC then triggers the sealing mechanism, ensuring packages are closed properly.
In material handling: The GE IC693MDL752D reads proximity sensors on conveyor belts. It detects when a pallet reaches a stop position, telling the PLC to halt the belt and signal a forklift operator to move the pallet—preventing jams and improving efficiency.
In water treatment: It monitors float switches in water tanks. When the tank is full, the switch sends a signal to the module, which tells the PLC to turn off the fill pump—preventing overflow and saving water.
