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
