Product Introduction
The GE IC693MDL742 is a 16-point 12/24VDC positive logic output module for the Series 90-30 PLC system. It drives solenoids, relays, and indicator lamps with up to 1A per point.
This module is a standard choice for output control in machine tools, packaging, and material handling applications where reliable 24VDC switching is required.

Troubleshooting Quick Reference
| Symptom | Possible Cause | Relevance to this Part | Quick Check Method | Recommendation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Outputs not turning on | No field power or blown fuse | ✅ High | Measure voltage at output common | Check external 24VDC supply and fuses |
| Output stays on | Shorted output or wiring | ✅ High | Disconnect load and test | Check for shorts in field wiring |
| Module overheating | Overcurrent on multiple points | ✅ Medium | Monitor current draw per group | Reduce load or add external relays |
| No response from PLC | Backplane fault | ✅ Medium | Swap with known good module | Replace IC693MDL742 |
| Intermittent outputs | Loose terminal screws | ✅ Medium | Tighten all connections | Inspect and retorque terminals |
Use external fuses on each output group for best protection.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is the IC693MDL742 new original? Yes. New Original / New Surplus with complete traceability and functional testing.
What is the maximum current per point? 1.0 Amp continuous per output point. Observe group limits to prevent overheating.
Does it support 12VDC or 24VDC loads? Yes. The module works with both 12VDC and 24VDC loads within the 10.2–30 VDC range.
Is this positive or negative logic? Positive logic. The output turns on when the PLC logic bit is 1.
Can I hot-swap this module? No. Power down the rack before removing or installing modules.
How are the outputs grouped? Outputs are typically grouped in sets of 4 or 8. Check the module label and wiring diagram for exact configuration.
What warranty applies? 1-year warranty on proper operation. Always verify total backplane power consumption when adding modules to your rack.
