Product Introduction
The GE IC693MDL741 is a 24VDC Negative Logic Output Module, designed to interface field output devices such as relays, contactors, indicator lamps, and solenoids with GE’s Series 90-30 Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) systems. This module functions by providing a current sink to the load, meaning it supplies a ground connection for the external DC power source to complete the circuit.
With a high-density 16-point output configuration, the IC693MDL741 is ideal for applications where compactness, reliability, and precision are required. It’s built to deliver dependable performance in a variety of discrete control processes in industries such as manufacturing, energy, water treatment, and transportation. Each output is electronically protected and isolated, making it suitable for industrial-grade environments.
