Description

Product Description

The IC693MDL241 by GE Fanuc is a versatile 16-point discrete input module designed for the Series 90‑30 PLC family. It accepts both 24 VAC and 24 VDC signals, supporting positive or negative logic for DC inputs. Each input is monitored via individual LED indicators, providing clear status feedback for all channels. The module is suitable for installation in any I/O slot of 5- or 10-slot baseplates and offers 1500 V isolation between field and logic sides, ensuring reliable operation in electrically noisy environments.

FAQ

Q: Can this module handle both AC and DC inputs simultaneously?
A: Yes, it is compatible with either AC or DC signals, but each input point should only receive one type at a time.

Q: What logic modes are supported?
A: Positive or negative logic can be selected for DC operation.

Q: How does the module indicate input status?
A: Each of the 16 inputs has a dedicated LED that illuminates when the input is active.

Q: Are there higher density input modules in the Series 90-30 family?
A: The IC693MDL240 offers 32 input points for applications requiring more I/O channels.
