Product Introduction

The GE IC693MDL655F is a 32-point DC input module designed for use with the GE Series 90-30 Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) systems. This module provides both positive and negative logic input capability, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial automation tasks requiring digital input signal detection from field devices.

The module is engineered to receive 24 VDC input signals, sourced from field sensors like pushbuttons, limit switches, proximity sensors, and more. It has 32 discrete inputs split into two isolated groups of 16 points each. Each group has its own common, enhancing flexibility and electrical isolation within system configurations.

As part of the GE Fanuc 90-30 family, the IC693MDL655F is commonly used in applications where reliability, versatility, and compact input modules are essential. The F-suffix indicates a newer hardware revision ensuring enhanced compatibility and support for modern industrial environments.
