Technical Features & Benefits
At the core of the GE IC693MDL740J is a double bank of sixteen sourcing outputs arranged into two groups of eight channels each. This segmentation aids both physical wiring layout and logical grouping in PLC applications. Each channel can deliver up to 0.5 A of current, which is adequate for energizing standard control devices such as DC coils in relays or small contactors.
Nominal operation between 12 V and 24 V DC allows the module to align with common industrial control voltages, while the tolerance range (+20%, –15%) provides headroom to absorb line fluctuations without false triggering.
Per-channel LED indicators are invaluable during commissioning and maintenance. They provide instantaneous feedback on the energized state of each output, helping technicians visually verify expected operation without the need for separate diagnostic tools. This feature also assists in isolating wiring faults or load failures quickly.
Although the module draws power from the 5 V logic bus on the PLC backplane, the external 12–24 V field supply is furnished by the user and routed to loads through the card’s outputs. External fusing is recommended at the field supply side to protect against overcurrent faults, aligning with electrical safety practices common in industrial installations.
Moreover, the sourcing configuration simplifies load connection: loads are wired between the output point and the negative return, and the module supplies positive voltage when commanded by the PLC logic. The positive logic behavior matches typical PLC programming conventions, making it easier for control engineers to maintain and modify logic sequences over time.
