As part of GE’s PACSystems RX3i series, the GE IC694MDL940 combines robust reliability with flexible voltage handling, ensuring seamless integration into critical industrial processes .
Each of the GE IC694MDL940’s 16 output channels supports a wide voltage range (5–30V DC or 5–250V AC), allowing it to drive diverse loads without additional circuitry. The module’s 2A per-channel current capacity and 4A per-common terminal rating make it suitable for mid-to-high-power applications, such as conveyor belt motors in manufacturing or valve actuators in oil refineries. Its non-isolated design simplifies wiring, while status LEDs for each channel provide real-time feedback on output activity, streamlining troubleshooting .
Built to withstand extreme conditions, the GE IC694MDL940 operates reliably between 0°C and 60°C and resists electrical noise and vibration. Its compact form factor (176 mm × 35 mm × 99 mm) and lightweight construction (1.0 kg) facilitate easy installation in space-constrained control panels. The module’s compatibility with the RX3i backplane ensures plug-and-play integration with other GE I/O modules, enabling scalable control systems for industries ranging from power generation to water treatment .
