Evaluating the IC693MDL753 for Your Automation Needs
When selecting a discrete output module for a Series 90-30 PLC system, the IC693MDL753 offers a specific set of capabilities. This buyer's guide helps you assess whether this 32-point positive logic module fits your application requirements. We focus on its technical specifications, typical use cases, and system integration details.
Key Specifications of the IC693MDL753
The IC693MDL753 provides thirty-two discrete output channels arranged in four groups of eight. Each channel delivers an output voltage range of 10.2 to 28.8 VDC, with a nominal output of 12-24 VDC. The output current rating is 0.5 Amperes per point, with a maximum of 4 Amperes per module and 3 Amperes per group common pin.
The module draws 260 milliamps from the 5 VDC backplane. It features an inrush current of 5.4 Amperes for 20 ms. The on-state voltage drop is 0.3 volts maximum, and the off-state leakage is 1 mA maximum. Both on and off response times are 0.5 ms maximum. Isolation is 1500 volts between field side and logic side, and 250 volts between groups.
Applications in Industrial Control
The IC693MDL753 is suitable for controlling a variety of discrete loads such as solenoids, relays, and indicator lights. Its positive logic configuration means it switches loads on the positive side of the power supply, supplying current to the load. Each group of eight outputs can be used for a different load, providing flexibility in machine control.

In a typical packaging line, the module can control multiple actuators and sensors simultaneously. The 0.5 Amperes per point is adequate for many low-power devices, while the 4 Amperes per module capacity supports moderate aggregate loads. The fast 0.5 ms response time ensures timely actuation in high-speed applications.
Compatibility and Integration
The IC693MDL753 is compatible with GE Fanuc Series 90-30 PLCs. It can be installed in any available slot of the chassis except those designated for the CPU, communication adapter, or specialty modules. The module occupies a single slot and can be used as local or distributed I/O. For wiring, the recommended manufacturer cable assembly is IC693CBL315.
When the PLC's CPU stops, all module outputs are forced into the OFF state. This safety feature prevents unintended actuator movement during system halts. Connections to output circuits are made via two male 24-pin connectors on the front of the module.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the output voltage range of the IC693MDL753?
