Description
The GE Fanuc IC693MAR590 is a versatile mixed input/output module engineered for the Series 90-30 PLC platform. This module features a high-density design, incorporating 8 AC input channels and 8 mechanical relay output channels within a single compact module. It is specifically designed to interface with discrete field devices such as solenoid valves, contactors, and pilot lights in industrial automation environments, including power generation and mineral processing facilities.
Features
- Integrated 8-point AC input and 8-point relay output configuration.
- Provides 1500 V RMS isolation between field-side and backplane-side circuitry to protect logic components.
- Optical isolation on input channels ensures high noise immunity in electrically noisy environments.
- Mechanical relay outputs support flexible load switching for both AC and DC field devices.
- Optimized for standard Series 90-30 rack-mounting architectures.
Applications
This module is widely utilized in applications requiring a compact footprint for combined discrete control and monitoring. Typical use cases include motor control centers, valve sequencing, and general-purpose discrete signal management in automated manufacturing lines.

Installation Guidelines
- Ensure the PLC rack power is disconnected before installing or removing the module.
- Verify that the module is fully seated in the backplane slot to ensure reliable bus communication.
- Use appropriate shielded cabling for field wiring to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI).
- Ensure that the relay output load does not exceed the 2A maximum current rating to prevent contact degradation.
- Maintain adequate ventilation within the enclosure to keep ambient temperatures within the 0 to 60 deg C range.
- Always follow local electrical codes for grounding and over-current protection for the output circuits.
FAQ
What is the primary function of the IC693MAR590?
The IC693MAR590 acts as a combination I/O interface for Series 90-30 PLCs, allowing the controller to read AC discrete signals and switch external loads via mechanical relays.
Does this module require external power?
Yes, the module requires 5 VDC from the backplane for logic and a 24 VDC supply for the relay coil operation.
