IC693MDL760A | GE 24 VDC 5-Point Discrete Output Module

Product Overview: IC693MDL760A

The IC693MDL760A is a discrete solenoid output module for the GE Series 90-30 system, revision A. Emerson now owns the GE Fanuc and GE Intelligent Platforms product lines. This module provides five DC outputs for driving solenoid valves and similar discrete loads. Because the IC693MDL760A is discontinued, verify availability before specifying it for new builds.

Key Specifications of the IC693MDL760A

• Outputs: 5 DC outputs
• Rated voltage: 24 VDC
• Output voltage range: 18 to 30 VDC
• Output current: 0.5 A @ 30 VDC per point
• Backplane current: 75 mA from 5 V bus
• Slot width: Single slot

The 0.5 A per point rating at 30 VDC defines the inrush margin for solenoid loads. Consequently, verify each load's steady-state and inrush current against this limit. The 18 to 30 VDC output range also tolerates supply variation in typical 24 VDC industrial power systems.

Evaluating Fit for Your Application

First, confirm that your Series 90-30 rack has a single slot available. Second, check that each solenoid operates within the 18 to 30 VDC output range. Third, total the current draw of all five outputs and compare it to the 0.5 A per point rating. In addition, account for the 75 mA backplane draw from the 5 V bus when sizing the power budget. Because the module drives DC solenoids directly, it suits valve banks, actuator pilots, and similar discrete devices. However, the module does not provide AC switching or isolated outputs. Therefore, applications requiring AC loads or channel-to-channel isolation need a different module. For precise matching, contact AutoDCSTech with your exact requirements.

Installation and Integration Notes

Install the IC693MDL760A in a single Series 90-30 slot and secure it to the backplane. Wire each output to its solenoid according to the terminal assignments in the official GE documentation. Keep output wiring separated from high-noise AC lines to reduce induced interference. This part has been discontinued by the manufacturer. Migrate to PACSystems RX3i (IC695 series); we stock remaining new and refurbished units. In addition, verify that your existing rack firmware and power supply support the module revision.

Maintenance and Lifecycle Considerations

Inspect output terminals periodically for loose connections and corrosion. Solenoid loads can generate inductive kickback, so verify that suppression is present at the load where required. Because the IC693MDL760A is discontinued, plan for spare units or a migration path. Contact AutoDCSTech for engineering-grade support and current stock information.
