GE Fanuc IC693MDL648 Discrete Input Module | 16 Point 60 VDC

Product Overview

IC693MDL648 is a GE Fanuc Discrete Input Module from the 90-30 Series. This 16-point module accepts 0 to 60 VDC signals. It captures field inputs from limit switches, push buttons, and proximity sensors.

Technical Specifications

Installation Guide

Wire field devices to the 20-screw terminal block. Apply input voltages between 34 and 60 VDC to guarantee an ON state. Keep input voltage below 60 VDC to prevent damage. Mount the module in any 90-30 series rack slot. Allow adequate airflow around the module for 0°C to 60°C operation.

Engineering Advantages

The IC693MDL648 delivers 1 ms response time for high-speed discrete applications. Each input draws only 4.2 mA, minimizing load on field power supplies. The module supports up to 5 expansion buses, accommodating large I/O configurations. Reliable operation from 0°C to 60°C suits factory floor environments.

FAQs

Q1: What happens if input voltage drops below 34 VDC?
A1: The module may not register an ON state. Operation between 0 and 34 VDC is undefined and unreliable.

Q2: Can this module accept AC voltage?
A2: No. The IC693MDL648 accepts DC voltage only (0 to 60 VDC). Use an AC input module for AC signals.

Q3: Is this module compatible with newer PACSystems RX3i?
A3: No. The 90-30 series uses a different backplane. This module requires a 90-30 series baseplate.
