Description
GE IC693MDL930 Digital Output Module
Product Overview
The GE IC693MDL930 is a 16-channel digital output module designed for GE’s Series 90-30 PLC systems, a key platform in industrial automation. This module converts digital signals from the PLC into electrical outputs. These outputs control devices like relays, solenoids, and indicator lights. It acts as a bridge between the PLC’s processing unit and field equipment, ensuring that commands from the control system are carried out accurately.
As part of the IC693 Series, the GE IC693MDL930 fits into Series 90-30 backplane racks, such as the IC693CHS393. It works with CPUs like the IC693CPU364 to extend the PLC’s ability to control external devices. The module operates on 24 V DC power, a standard in industrial settings, making it easy to integrate with existing systems.
Built for tough environments, the GE IC693MDL930 handles temperatures from 0°C to 60°C and humidity up to 95% (non-condensing). This durability makes it suitable for factories, power plants, and water treatment facilities. Even though GE has stopped producing it, the GE IC693MDL930 remains important for keeping older Series 90-30 systems running. It helps businesses avoid the high cost of replacing entire systems while maintaining reliable operation.

Main features and advantages
16-channel capacity: The IC693MDL930 has 16 independent channels. This allows it to control up to 16 devices at once, such as 16 different solenoid valves in a packaging line. It reduces the need for multiple modules, saving space in the control cabinet.
Isolated channels: Each channel is isolated from the others and the backplane (1500 V AC). This prevents electrical interference from one device affecting others. For example, a voltage spike from a motor won’t disrupt the signal to a nearby indicator light.
Reliable operation: The module handles 24 V DC, a standard voltage in industrial settings. It delivers 0.5 A per channel, enough to power most small to medium field devices. This reliability ensures that devices respond correctly to PLC commands, reducing downtime.
Easy integration: The IC693MDL930 fits into any Series 90-30 backplane rack. It slides into place and locks with a simple mechanism. No special tools are needed for installation, making setup quick.
Durable design: It works in a wide temperature range (0°C to 60°C) and resists humidity. This makes it suitable for harsh environments like food processing plants (with washdowns) or foundries (with dust and heat).
Compatibility with legacy systems: The IC693MDL930 works with all Series 90-30 CPUs and racks. This means businesses can keep using their existing PLC systems without replacing them. It extends the life of the automation setup, saving money.

Installation and maintenance
Pre-installation preparations: Check that the IC693MDL930 is compatible with your Series 90-30 backplane rack (like the IC693CHS393). Ensure there is an empty slot in the rack. Power off the PLC system before installing. Slide the module into the slot until it clicks into place. Connect the output wires from field devices (relays, solenoids) to the module’s terminals. Use the correct wire size (14–18 AWG) and tighten terminal screws to 5 lb-in. Power the system back on and check that the module’s status light is green, showing it is working.
Maintenance suggestions: Inspect the IC693MDL930 regularly. Look for loose wires or dust on the module. Wipe dust off with a dry cloth to prevent overheating. Check the status light during operation. A red light means there is a problem, such as a short circuit in a connected device. Disconnect the faulty device to fix the issue. Store a spare IC693MDL930 in a dry, cool area (10–30°C). This allows quick replacement if the module fails, minimizing downtime.
Application fields
The GE IC693MDL930 is used in industries where controlling multiple devices is key:
