Description
Product Overview: GE IC693MDL930F Discrete Output Module
The GE IC693MDL930F is a discrete output module designed for the GE Fanuc Series 90-30 programmable logic controller (PLC) platform. It serves as a critical link between automation systems and field devices. Its primary role is to convert digital control signals from the PLC’s central processing unit (CPU) into electrical outputs. These outputs actuate devices such as solenoid valves, relays, and small motors.
The GE IC693MDL930F features 16 output points. Each point operates on 120V AC power. This makes it suitable for controlling high-voltage industrial equipment common in factories and processing plants. The module connects directly to the Series 90-30 baseplate. It receives power and communication signals from the baseplate. This integration ensures seamless data flow between the CPU and the devices it controls.
In automation architectures, the GE IC693MDL930F is valued for its reliability and versatility. It can handle the switching demands of multiple devices simultaneously. This reduces the need for additional modules in mid-sized systems. Its design allows it to function in harsh industrial environments. These environments often include dust, vibration, and temperature fluctuations. The GE IC693MDL930F ensures that control signals are delivered consistently. This consistency helps maintain steady production and minimizes downtime caused by output failures.

Main features and advantages
Output capacity: The GE IC693MDL930F offers 16 discrete output points. Each point can control a separate device, such as a valve or a small motor. This capacity fits mid-sized automation systems. It reduces the need for multiple output modules. Systems with many actuators can be built with fewer components. This simplifies wiring and lowers overall costs.
120V AC compatibility: The GE IC693MDL930F operates on 120V AC power. This is a standard voltage in many industrial settings. It works with common high-voltage devices without extra transformers. This compatibility makes it easy to integrate into existing systems. It also reduces the risk of voltage-related damage to equipment.
LED indicators: Each output point on the GE IC693MDL930F has an LED light. The light turns on when the point is active. This lets technicians quickly check which outputs are working. Troubleshooting is faster. They can see if a problem is with the module, the wiring, or the connected device. This reduces time spent on diagnostics.
Rugged design: The GE IC693MDL930F is built to handle tough conditions. It operates in temperatures from 0°C to 60°C. This covers most factory floors and processing areas. It resists dust and minor vibrations. This ensures consistent performance even in less controlled environments. The module’s durability means it needs replacement less often. This saves maintenance time and money.
Series 90-30 integration: The GE IC693MDL930F is part of the Series 90-30 platform. It works seamlessly with other modules in the series. These include CPUs, input modules, and communication modules. This integration makes system expansion easy. Users can add more outputs or new functions without replacing the entire control system. It also ensures reliable communication between components.

Installation and maintenance
Pre-installation preparations: Before installing the GE IC693MDL930F, check the baseplate. A suitable baseplate is the GE IC693CHS397. Ensure the baseplate is securely mounted in the control cabinet. Make sure there is a free slot for the module. Check the power supply. The GE IC693PWR322 is a compatible option. It must provide stable 120V AC power. Clean the module’s connectors and the baseplate’s slot. Use a dry cloth to remove dust or debris. This prevents poor electrical connections. Poor connections can cause output failures or intermittent operation.
Maintenance suggestions: Inspect the GE IC693MDL930F regularly. Check for dust buildup, especially in dusty environments. Use compressed air to clean the module gently every three months. This prevents overheating. Check the LED indicators during operation. A lit LED shows the output is active. If an LED does not light when expected, check the wiring connections. Loose wires can cause signal loss. Tighten any loose connections. Avoid exposing the GE IC693MDL930F to extreme moisture or corrosive chemicals. These can damage the module’s internal components over time. Replace the module if outputs fail repeatedly despite proper maintenance.
Application fields

In automotive plants, it triggers robotic welders to start or stop based on signals from the PLC. The module’s 16 outputs handle multiple tasks in a single workcell. This simplifies control system design. It ensures that each step in the production process happens at the right time.
Packaging machinery: Packaging systems rely on the GE IC693MDL930F to operate sealing machines and label applicators. The module turns on heaters for sealing plastic packages. It activates motors that feed labels onto boxes. Its 120V AC compatibility works with the high-voltage components common in packaging equipment. The LED indicators let technicians quickly diagnose issues. This keeps packaging lines running with minimal downtime.
Material handling: Warehouses and distribution centers use the GE IC693MDL930F to control conveyor systems and lift mechanisms. The module activates motors that move pallets or boxes. It triggers brakes to stop conveyors when items reach their destination. Its rugged design handles the dust and vibrations common in these environments. The 16 outputs allow control of multiple conveyors or lifts from a single module. This reduces the number of components needed in the system.
