GE IC693374-HW Digital Output Module

  • Compatibility: Exclusively designed for GE Fanuc Series 90-30 PLC systems
  • Output Type: Relay outputs (electromechanical relays for switching AC/DC loads)
  • Number of Output Channels: 8 independent digital output channels
  • Output Voltage Ratings: Supports both AC and DC loads; AC: 120V AC / 240V AC, DC: 24V DC / 48V DC
  • Output Current Rating: Maximum 5A per channel (resistive load); 2A per channel (inductive load)
  • Power Supply: Derives power from the Series 90-30 PLC backplane (5V DC logic power); load power supplied externally
  • Isolation: Channel-to-channel isolation (250V AC rms) and channel-to-backplane isolation (500V AC rms)
  • Operating Temperature Range: 0°C to 60°C (32°F to 140°F)

Detailed content

  • Storage Temperature Range: -40°C to 85°C (-40°F to 185°F)
  • Humidity Resistance: 5% to 95% non-condensing
  • Mounting: Installs into any available slot (except dedicated CPU slots) of the Series 90-30 PLC baseplate
  • Indicator Lights: LED indicators for each output channel (illuminates when the channel is active)

 

Functional Features

 

  • Dual-Voltage Load Support: Works with both AC and DC loads, eliminating the need for separate modules for different load types and reducing system complexity
  • High Current Capacity: Delivers up to 5A per channel (resistive load) to power heavy-duty industrial devices, such as large motors or heaters
  • Robust Isolation: Channel-to-channel and channel-to-backplane isolation prevents electrical interference between loads and the PLC system, protecting sensitive components from voltage spikes
  • Visual Status Monitoring: Individual LED indicators for each output channel allow on-site technicians to quickly verify channel activation status, simplifying troubleshooting and maintenance
  • Industrial-Grade Durability: Constructed to withstand temperature fluctuations, humidity, and vibration common in industrial settings, ensuring continuous operation without performance degradation
  • Seamless PLC Integration: Automatically recognized by the Series 90-30 PLC CPU upon installation; no complex programming or configuration is required to enable output control

 

Application Scenarios

 

  • Manufacturing Automation: Controls on/off operations of assembly line equipment, such as conveyor belt motors, robotic grippers, solenoid valves for pneumatic cylinders, and industrial lights in automotive, electronics, or appliance manufacturing plants
  • Process Control: Activates or deactivates heating elements, pumps, or valves in chemical processing, water treatment, or food and beverage production (e.g., controlling a valve to regulate fluid flow in a mixing tank)
  • Building Automation: Manages HVAC system components (e.g., fan motors, damper actuators), emergency lighting, or access control locks in large industrial facilities or commercial buildings
  • Material Handling: Operates motors for conveyor systems, lift mechanisms, or sorting devices in warehouses, distribution centers, or logistics hubs to control the movement of goods
  • Machine Tool Control: Triggers auxiliary functions in CNC machines, such as coolant pumps, spindle brakes, or tool changers, to support precision machining operations
