Unlike DC output modules, the IC694MDL350 supports 120/240 VAC operation, making it ideal for facilities with legacy AC-powered equipment. Its design emphasizes noise immunity, reducing the need for external snubbers and ensuring stable performance in electrically noisy environments .
Key to the IC694MDL350’s functionality is its 16 isolated output channels, each capable of handling 2A continuous current with a total module capacity of 5A. This allows it to drive inductive loads like contactors and transformers while maintaining signal integrity. The module features a dip switch on its rear panel for configuring output behavior—either forcing all outputs to a safe “off” state or retaining the last operational state during power disruptions. However, this dip switch requires the module to be physically removed from the backplane for adjustment, ensuring unintended changes do not occur during runtime .
The IC694MDL350 integrates seamlessly with GE’s RX3i controllers (version 3.50 or higher) and supports a range of terminal block types, including box-style, spring-style, and extended variants. These terminal blocks provide secure field wiring connections for AC appliances, with extended shrouds offering additional protection against accidental contact. LED indicators on the front panel display output status and terminal block connectivity, enabling quick diagnostics without system downtime .

Unlike earlier models, the IC694MDL350 incorporates advanced noise-filtering technology, eliminating the need for external snubbers and reducing installation complexity .
Another key advantage is its configurable output behavior. The rear-panel dip switch lets users select between “force off” (resetting all outputs during power loss) or “hold last state” (retaining output status), aligning with safety protocols or process continuity requirements. This feature is critical in industries like oil and gas, where unexpected equipment shutdowns could disrupt operations .
The IC694MDL350’s LED indicators provide real-time feedback on output status and terminal block connectivity. The green “terminal block present” LED confirms proper wiring, while individual channel LEDs signal on/off states. Additionally, prominent red bands on the module door warn of high-voltage hazards, enhancing operator safety in maintenance scenarios .

Installation and Maintenance: GE IC694MDL350
Pre-installation Preparations:
Before installing the IC694MDL350, ensure the RX3i system is powered down and grounded. Verify the CPU version (must be 3.50 or higher) and select the appropriate terminal block (e.g., IC694TBBX32) based on wiring requirements. Configure the output mode dip switch to “force off” or “hold last state” by removing the module from the backplane. Use a 25-pin D-type cable to connect the module to the CPU or expansion racks, ensuring the cable length does not exceed 50 feet .

Maintenance Suggestions:
Regular inspections are crucial for the IC694MDL350’s longevity. Quarterly checks should include verifying terminal block tightness, inspecting for corrosion, and cleaning dust from vents. If replacing modules, power off the system and use anti-static measures to prevent ESD damage. For systems with redundant power supplies, test backup units annually. Faulty modules can be replaced with GE-approved spares, such as refurbished IC694MDL350 units sourced from authorized distributors .
