Product Overview
The GE IC693MDL310 is a high-performance 120 VAC discrete output module designed for use within the GE Fanuc Series 90-30 Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) system. This module features 8 output points, each capable of switching AC loads at a nominal voltage of 120 VAC. Engineered for industrial-grade performance, the IC693MDL310 is ideal for applications that require reliable, high-speed AC switching, such as activating solenoids, relays, indicators, or motor starters.
Each output is isolated and controlled individually, and the module provides full status feedback to the CPU, allowing precise control and diagnostics. The robust build quality and electrical isolation make it highly reliable in factory automation, process control, and infrastructure systems.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
What voltage does the IC693MDL310 module support?
It supports 120 VAC nominal, with a voltage range of 85 to 132 VAC at 47–63 Hz. -
Can the outputs handle inductive loads like relays or solenoids?
Yes, the Triac output design allows switching of inductive loads with appropriate snubbing. -
Is there output channel isolation on this module?
The outputs are isolated from the logic circuit but not isolated individually from each other. -
Can the IC693MDL310 be used with DC loads?
No. This module is strictly for AC loads. Use a DC output module like IC693MDL740 for DC switching. -
What is the maximum output current per point?
Each output channel supports up to 0.5 A. -
How do I connect field devices to the output points?
Through the removable terminal block provided on the front of the module. -
What happens if the load exceeds the current limit?
Overloading may cause the Triac to fail or the output to latch off. Always follow rated specifications. -
How can I check if an output is ON or OFF?
Each channel has an LED indicator that lights up when the output is ON. -
Is this module hot-swappable?
No, you must power down the PLC system before inserting or removing the module. -
What PLC platform is it compatible with?
It is designed for GE Fanuc Series 90-30 PLC systems.
