Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
Q: Can the IC693MDL340 be used to control inductive loads like motors?
A: Yes, but for inductive loads, external protection such as snubber circuits or surge suppressors is recommended. -
Q: What kind of wiring terminals does the module have?
A: It uses screw-clamp terminal blocks for secure and easy field wiring. -
Q: Is there built-in fuse protection for each output point?
A: No, the module does not include internal fuses; external protection is advised. -
Q: Can the outputs be mixed between 120V and 240V?
A: Yes, but each isolated group should be wired consistently to avoid cross-voltage issues. -
Q: Does the module support output status diagnostics?
A: Yes, it includes individual LEDs per channel to show output status. -
Q: Can this module be hot-swapped?
A: No, it is not hot-swappable. Power must be turned off during installation or removal. -
Q: What happens if the output load exceeds the current rating?
A: Overloads can damage the output channel. Always observe maximum current limits. -
Q: Is this module compatible with all Series 90-30 CPUs?
A: Yes, it is compatible with all CPUs and baseplates within the Series 90-30 family. -
Q: Can this module be used outdoors?
A: Only in enclosed, weather-protected control panels. It is not weatherproof. -
Q: How do I configure this module in the PLC software?
A: Use GE’s Proficy Machine Edition or Logic Developer-PLC to configure the I/O mapping.
