Description
GE IC693MDL940H Series 90-30 Digital Output Module
Product Overview
The GE IC693MDL940H is a high-performance digital output module designed for GE’s Series 90-30 PLC system, serving as a critical interface for controlling external devices in industrial automation. It converts digital signals from the PLC’s CPU into electrical outputs, enabling the operation of relays, solenoids, motors, and other discrete devices. As part of the Series 90-30 ecosystem, the IC693MDL940H integrates seamlessly with controllers like the IC693CPU374 and power supplies such as the IC693PWR330, forming a reliable control network.
With 16 channels, the GE IC693MDL940H supports 24V DC outputs, delivering up to 1.5A per channel (with a 4A maximum per group of 8 channels). This makes it suitable for driving medium-load devices, such as conveyor belt motors or valve actuators. The module features 1500V AC isolation between channels and logic circuits, protecting against electrical noise and ground loops common in factory environments. Its rugged design allows operation in temperatures from 0°C to 60°C, ensuring durability in harsh settings like automotive plants or chemical facilities.
The IC693MDL940H fits into standard Series 90-30 racks, such as the IC693CHS397, and includes LED indicators for each channel to show output status, simplifying troubleshooting. Whether used in small production lines or large-scale industrial systems, this module ensures precise and reliable control of external equipment, contributing to efficient and safe operations.

Main features and advantages
High channel density: The IC693MDL940H offers 16 channels in a compact form, allowing control of multiple devices—like relays, solenoids, and small motors—from a single module. This reduces the number of modules needed in control racks, saving space in crowded cabinets.
Robust output capabilities: Each channel of the IC693MDL940H delivers up to 1.5A of current, with a maximum of 4A per group of 8 channels. This makes it suitable for driving medium-load devices, such as conveyor belt motors or valve actuators, without the need for external amplifiers.
Electrical isolation: The module features 1500V AC isolation between channels and logic circuits, protecting against electrical noise and ground loops. This is critical in industrial environments with heavy machinery, where voltage spikes could disrupt operation.
Durable industrial design: Built to withstand temperatures from 0°C to 60°C and resist dust and vibrations, the IC693MDL940H operates reliably in harsh settings. It does not require special enclosures, reducing installation costs.
Clear status monitoring: LED indicators on the front panel show the output status of each channel (on/off), making it easy to troubleshoot issues like loose connections or failed devices without opening the control cabinet.
Series 90-30 compatibility: The IC693MDL940H integrates seamlessly with all Series 90-30 modules, including CPUs, power supplies, and input modules. This compatibility allows users to upgrade existing systems or build new ones without replacing other components, saving time and money.

Installation and maintenance
Pre-installation preparations: Power off the Series 90-30 rack (such as the IC693CHS397) before installing the IC693MDL940H. Check that the rack has an open slot and that the power supply (e.g., IC693PWR330) can provide sufficient 24V DC power. Gather tools such as a screwdriver and anti-static wristband to avoid damaging the module. Inspect the module’s connectors for dirt or damage, and ensure wiring cables are rated for 24V DC applications.
Maintenance suggestions: Inspect the IC693MDL940H monthly. Check for loose wiring connections and wipe dust from the front panel with a dry cloth to keep LED indicators visible. Monitor the LEDs during operation—if a channel’s LED is off when it should be on, check the wiring or the connected device for faults. If the module fails, replace it with a new IC693MDL940H following proper shutdown procedures to avoid damaging other components in the rack.
Application fields
The GE IC693MDL940H is widely used in industries requiring precise control of external devices:
In automotive manufacturing, it controls robotic welders, conveyor belt motors, and paint sprayer valves. The module receives signals from the CPU (e.g., IC693CPU374) to start or stop these devices, ensuring synchronized operation in assembly lines.
In water treatment plants, the IC693MDL940H actuates solenoid valves and pump motors based on data from level sensors. It opens valves to release treated water or triggers alarms if levels exceed safe limits, maintaining compliance with regulatory standards.
In food processing facilities, it controls mixing motors, packaging machines, and conveyor systems. Its 16 channels allow simultaneous operation of multiple devices, such as sealing machines and label applicators, ensuring efficient production of packaged goods.
In small-scale manufacturing, it manages equipment like drills, presses, and cutters. The module’s ability to handle 1.5A per channel makes it suitable for driving these tools, while its durability ensures reliable performance in dusty factory environments.
