Description
GE IC693MDL940L Product Specification
Product Overview
The GE IC693MDL940L is a discrete output module designed for GE’s Series 90-30 PLC systems. It serves as a key link between the PLC’s central processing unit (CPU) and external devices like motors, valves, and relays. The module converts digital signals from the CPU into electrical outputs that can control these devices, making it essential for automation in industrial settings.
The GE IC693MDL940L features 16 output channels, each capable of handling 24 VDC. This allows it to control multiple devices at once, which is useful in complex systems. It works seamlessly with Series 90-30 CPUs such as the IC693CPU350 and fits into racks like the IC693CHS391M.
The GE IC693MDL940L is built to last in tough industrial environments. It operates in temperatures from 0°C to 60°C and can handle humidity between 5% and 95% without condensation. Its compact size (110 mm × 80 mm × 40 mm) and light weight (0.4 kg) make it easy to install in control cabinets. Front-panel lights show if each channel is working, helping technicians spot issues fast. Whether in factories, power plants, or water treatment facilities, the GE IC693MDL940L provides reliable control for industrial devices.

Main Features and Advantages
16 channels: The GE IC693MDL940L has 16 output channels. This means it can control up to 16 devices at once, like 16 small motors or 16 valves. This reduces the need for extra modules, saving space in the control cabinet.
Reliable output: Each channel of the GE IC693MDL940L can handle 0.5 A at 24 VDC. This is enough to power most industrial devices. The module also has built-in protection—if a channel gets overloaded, it shuts down to avoid damage, which helps keep the system safe.
Easy to install: The GE IC693MDL940L slides into any slot in a Series 90-30 rack. It connects to the rack’s backplane, so no extra wiring is needed for communication with the CPU. This makes setup quick and simple.
Tough design: The GE IC693MDL940L works in hot and humid conditions. It can handle temperatures up to 60°C and humidity up to 95% without condensation. This makes it good for factories, power plants, and outdoor installations.
Clear status lights: Front-panel lights on the GE IC693MDL940L show if each channel is on or off. If a channel has a problem, the light stays off, making it easy for technicians to find and fix issues fast.

Installation and Maintenance
Pre-installation preparations: Before installing the GE IC693MDL940L, turn off power to the Series 90-30 rack. Make sure the rack is grounded to avoid electrical issues. Check that the rack is compatible—most Series 90-30 racks like the IC693CHS391M work. Align the module with an empty slot in the rack. Slide it in until it clicks into place. Connect the external devices to the module’s terminal block using 14–22 AWG wires.
Maintenance suggestions: Check the GE IC693MDL940L monthly. Look at the front-panel lights to make sure all channels are working as they should. Clean dust off the module with compressed air every three months to keep it cool. Every year, check the terminal block connections to make sure they’re tight—loose wires can cause devices to stop working. If a channel stops working, turn off power, remove the module, and reinsert it to fix loose connections.
Application Areas
In manufacturing: Factories use the GE IC693MDL940L to control conveyor belts and robotic arms. For example, in a car assembly line, the module might turn on a robotic welder when a car part is in place, then turn it off once welding is done.
In power plants: The GE IC693MDL940L controls valves in turbine systems. It opens and closes valves based on signals from the CPU, helping regulate steam flow and keep the turbine running smoothly.
In water treatment: The module controls pumps and chemical dosing valves. It turns on a pump when water levels are low and shuts it off when levels are high, ensuring treatment processes work as they should.
In food processing: The GE IC693MDL940L controls packaging machines. It starts a sealing machine when a food container is in position, then stops it once sealing is complete, keeping the packaging line moving efficiently.
