Description

Product Description

The IC693MDL653 from GE Fanuc is a 32-point discrete input module designed for the Series 90‑30 PLC family. Supporting both positive (sourcing) and negative (sinking) logic, this module delivers flexible DC input integration for a variety of 24 V field devices.

Its architecture features four isolated groups of eight inputs, each with two shared commons, providing partial isolation and enhanced noise immunity. Field connections are made via a 50‑pin high-density Honda-style connector, with optional pre-wired GE cables for simplified installation. The module does not include individual input status LEDs and can be mounted in any slot of a 5-slot or 10-slot Series 90‑30 baseplate.
