GE FANUC IC693MDL731 , 12/24 Volt DC Negative Logic 2 Amp

Output Module

Product Description

The GE Fanuc IC693MDL731 is a 12/24 volt DC Negative Logic 2 Amp Output module. Part of the Series 90-30 Programmable Logic Controller system, this module is equipped with 8 output points. These points share a single power output terminal. As the IC693MDL731 sinks current from the loads to the user common or negative power bus, the module has negative logic characteristics. Its output characteristics enable pairing with certain load devices that the user supplies. For example, it is possible to operate this module with various types of solenoids and motor starters as well as indicators. To do so, these devices need to be hooked up between the module’s output and the positive power bus. The user can then provide an external power supply to operate the devices.

Like many similar units in the 90-30 family, the IC693MDL731 has an LED block. There are 16 indicators, arranged in two separate rows – A1 and B1. Each has 8 LEDs but this module only uses A1 as it only has 8 output points. A blow fuse indicator LED is also present. This glows red whenever any fuse in the module is blown. There are two fuses in the unit, each of them a 5 amp fuse. One protects outputs A1 to A4 while the other fuse protects A5 to A8. These fuses are connected electrically to a single shared common. The user may install this 2 Amp Output module the baseplate of a Series 90-30 system. There is a blue-colored strip on the end of the insert close to the door of the IC693MDL731. This indicates that the unit is low-voltage.

About IC693MDL731

The IC693MDL731 module is a discrete output module manufactured by GE Fanuc. The IC693MDL731 module features 8 circuit outputs and it is a 12 to 24 Volts DC rated discrete output module. The module comes with DC power and the output voltage range is 12 to 24 Volts DC. The unit comes with 2.0 Amps of load current per point and it features 2 milliseconds response time when turning ON or OFF. The IC693MDL731 module features the transistor output type while the polarity is rated as negative. The component features 8 points per common and the connector type is a terminal block with 20 screws per module. The internal power is 55 milliamps at 5 Volts DC. The input voltage range is rated at 24 Volts DC while the on-state voltage is 15 Volts DC minimum. The component features an off-state voltage of 6 Volts DC maximum while the on-state current is 4.5 milliamps minimum.

The GE Fanuc IC693MDL731 module should always be mounted safely and the installers should ensure that it is istalled in the proper protective enclosure. Moreover, the unit should make use of the application program in order to run properly, and the installers should also ensure proper grounding. The ground conductors should always be connected in a tree fashion, with the branches routed to the central earth ground points. Moreover, the ground conductors should be as short and as large in size as possible. The IC693MDL731 module features an aluminum PLC baseplate which is used for module shield grounding. The CPUs in the PLC with external port connections must have a separate shield ground connection to ensure the proper shielding of the ports.
