FAQ
Q: What input voltage does the IC693MDL730 support?
A: It accepts 12–24 VDC per input channel.
Q: Is the module optically isolated?
A: Yes, each input is isolated from the PLC logic for protection.
Q: Can it detect AC signals?
A: No, this module is DC-only. AC signals require a separate AC input module.
Q: Is this a current product?
A: It is a legacy component; newer PACSystems RX3i DC input modules are recommended for new installations.
