Product Introduction
The GE IC693MDL640 is a 32-point Positive Logic Input Module designed for use in the GE Series 90-30 Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) systems. It is engineered to interface field input devices such as push buttons, limit switches, and other discrete sensors that operate on positive logic principles. With high-density input capability and robust noise immunity, the IC693MDL640 module ensures reliable signal processing in a wide range of industrial automation applications.
This input module receives 24 VDC signals and translates them into logic signals the PLC can process. Each input point is optically isolated, ensuring system integrity even under electrically noisy environments. The IC693MDL640 is particularly well-suited for manufacturing processes, machinery control systems, and facility automation where compact design and reliable input acquisition are essential.
