Description
Description
The General Electric IC693MDL931 is an 8-point isolated relay output module designed for the Series 90-30 Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) system. This module provides high-flexibility switching for a variety of industrial loads, supporting both AC and DC output voltages. It features 8 isolated relay outputs, configured as 4 normally-closed (NC) and 4 Form C (SPDT) relay circuits, allowing for independent control of diverse field devices such as motor starters, solenoids, and indicators.
Features
- 8-point isolated relay output module for Series 90-30 PLC systems.
- Supports 4 normally-closed and 4 Form C relay circuits.
- High-voltage capability: 5-30 VDC or 5-250 VAC.
- Maximum load capacity of 8 Amps per output (resistive).
- Each relay is electrically isolated with a separate common power terminal.
- Integrated LED status indicators for each point (top row).
- Color-coded red edge on the door insert to signify high-voltage operation.
