Product Introduction & Supply Chain Strategy
The GE Fanuc IC693MDL742 is a 16-point solid-state output module designed for Series 90-30 PLCs. Delivering 12/24 V DC positive logic (sourcing) switching at up to 1.0 A per point, it is equipped with Electronic Short Circuit Protection (ESCP). If an external field short or overcurrent occurs, the module automatically trips the affected output channel without blowing physical fuses or damaging internal silicon components.
Securing the IC693MDL742 as New Surplus provides crucial supply-chain resilience for operations maintaining Series 90-30 infrastructure. Sourcing factory-fresh, uninstalled original inventory eliminates the elevated risks of switching transistor thermal fatigue, optical isolation degradation, and terminal contact wear common in second-hand cards, preserving automation uptime without requiring costly control cabinet retrofits.
Installation & Configuration Guide
Stage 1: Pre-Installation (Prep & Safety)
- Execute Lock-Out/Tag-Out (LOTO) procedures on the main PLC rack power supply and external 12/24 V DC field power supplies.
- Put on an anti-static grounded wrist strap to protect internal solid-state driver ICs and optocouplers from ESD damage.
- Verify that the field supply voltage (12–24 V DC) and total load current per group do not exceed module ratings.
Stage 2: Removal
- De-energize the PLC baseplate rack.
- Open the front door flap, loosen the top/bottom securing screws, and swing the hinged 20-terminal connector block away from the module.
- Squeeze the release levers at the top and bottom of the module card and slide it straight forward out of the baseplate slot.
Stage 3: Installation (Seat & Wire)
- Align the rear card edge of the replacement IC693MDL742 with the guide rails of any available I/O slot in a Series 90-30 baseplate.
- Press firmly on the top and bottom face of the module housing until both retaining latches click locked.
- Attach the wired 20-terminal block to the front of the new module and tighten the top/bottom securing screws.
Stage 4: Power-On & Testing
- Reapply main power to the PLC rack and field load supply.
- Check that the “MODULE OK” status LED lights solid green.
- Force output channels via Proficy Machine Edition or run PLC system logic to confirm field load actuation and check status LED arrays (A1–A8 and B1–B8).

Firmware/Software Versions & Upgrade Notes
- Software Configuration: Configured using Proficy Machine Edition (PME), VersaPro, or Logicmaster 90. Allocate 16 bits in the
%Qdiscrete output memory table for the designated slot position. - ESCP Operation: When an overload or short circuit occurs on an output channel, the ESCP circuit turns off that specific output. Once the fault condition is removed, cycling the output point
%Qbit OFF and back ON resets the electronic protection. - Slot Compatibility: Can be installed in any available I/O slot of an IC693 Main, Expansion, or Remote baseplate.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is this IC693MDL742 output module brand new or pulled from a used system?
This product is a Brand New Surplus unit. It is not used, not pulled from a decommissioned plant, and not refurbished. All modules undergo complete quality testing to verify original OEM performance.
What is the advantage of the IC693MDL742 over the IC693MDL732?
The provides 16 output channels rated at 1.0 A per point with Electronic Short Circuit Protection (ESCP), whereas the IC693MDL732 provides only 8 channels rated at 0.5 A per point without ESCP.
How does Electronic Short Circuit Protection (ESCP) work on this module?
ESCP monitors current flow on each output channel. If current exceeds safe operational thresholds due to a shorted field device or wiring fault, the module electronically shuts off that individual point to protect the internal output transistor.
What is the difference between positive logic (sourcing) and negative logic (sinking)?
In positive logic (sourcing) modules like the , the output channel switches +12/24 V DC power directly to the load. In negative logic (sinking) modules, the channel connects the field load to 0 V DC (ground).
Do I need to remove field wiring when replacing an existing ?
No. The module uses a removable 20-terminal block. You can unbolt the wired terminal assembly from the old module and attach it directly to the replacement unit without disturbing individual field wires.
What warranty coverage is included with this New Surplus output card?
This module includes a full 1-year functional warranty. If any operational defect or hardware failure occurs during normal use within 12 months, we will immediately supply a replacement unit from our active buffer inventory.
