GE Fanuc IC693MDL930 Series 90-30 Isolated Relay Output Module
The GE Fanuc IC693MDL930 is an 8-point isolated relay output module for Series 90-30 and RX3i PLCs. It provides eight independent N.O. contacts rated at 4A each, supporting both AC and DC field voltages. This module is engineered for high-current switching of motor starters and solenoids with superior channel-to-channel isolation.
The GE Fanuc IC693MDL930 acts as a high-capacity discrete output solution for the Series 90-30 Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) platform, providing reliable switching for diverse industrial loads. This module integrates eight independent, normally open (Form A) relay circuits that offer complete electrical isolation between channels. By employing individual isolation, the module allows engineers to control multiple circuits operating at different voltage levels and phases through a single hardware interface. This flexibility significantly simplifies the wiring of complex control panels while reducing the need for interposing relays.
The hardware excels in managing various field devices, including heavy-duty motor starters, solenoid valves, and status indicators. Because each relay contact supports a robust 4-amp resistive load, the module handles substantial power requirements without compromising the integrity of the PLC backplane. Furthermore, the IC693MDL930 maintains high safety standards by providing 1500V isolation between the field-side wiring and the sensitive logic-side electronics. To assist with rapid troubleshooting and system diagnostics, the module features front-facing LED indicators that display the real-time ON/OFF status of every individual output point.
Designed for long-term durability in rugged industrial environments, the module operates efficiently within a temperature range of 0°C to 60°C. It draws minimal current from the backplane bus, utilizing only 6 mA from the 5V supply and 70 mA from the 24V relay power bus. Since the module is compatible with both legacy Series 90-30 systems and modern Emerson PACSystems RX3i architectures, it serves as an ideal component for both system expansions and direct hardware replacements. This cross-platform compatibility ensures that facilities can modernize their control infrastructure without a complete overhaul of their existing I/O modules.

PLC and Control Network Integration
The VersaMax series utilizes modular backplane bus communication velocity and deterministic synchronization to manage distributed I/O blocks. Moreover, firmware flash compatibility within the host CPU allows for systematic updates across the network, thereby ensuring that hardware configurations remain consistent with logic execution cycles. In addition, I/O density scaling is supported through the flexible mounting interface, which enables the system to expand without exceeding the timing constraints of the host bus. Finally, Profinet and EtherNet/IP deterministic network integration requirements are managed upstream via communication modules, while the IC200TBM002 serves as the physical termination point for local field signals.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does the IC200TBM002 provide electrical isolation between terminals?A: The IC200TBM002 features 18 internally-bussed terminals. It is electrically isolated from the I/O carrier interface; however, within the block itself, the terminals are bussed together to provide a common electrical potential.Q: What is the maximum wire gauge supported by the terminal block?A: The terminal block accommodates solid or stranded wires ranging from AWG #22 to AWG #14. It also supports the connection of two wires per terminal, provided the combined gauge does not exceed AWG #18.
Field Installation Guidelines
The module should be installed using the integrated mounting tabs on the top edge or secured via panel-mounting holes to ensure mechanical stability in high-vibration environments.
Ensure all field wiring is stripped to the appropriate length according to IEC standards before insertion into the box-style terminals to prevent short circuits.
When utilizing the terminal block for power distribution, ensure that the cumulative current across the 18-point bus does not exceed the 8 Amp rating.
Verify proper seating within the insert-slots of the I/O carrier to ensure the mechanical and electrical integrity of the VersaMax I/O assembly.

Backplane Communication and I/O Density Scaling
The IC694MDL240 occupies a single slot within the PACSystems RX3i I/O rack while providing 16 discrete AC input channels. This channel density enables consolidation of field contact signals including pushbuttons, limit switches, auxiliary contacts, and proximity switches. Data transfer between the module and the controller occurs through the RX3i backplane interface, eliminating separate communication wiring for individual input channels.The module draws 90 mA from the backplane supply and can be installed in any compatible RX3i slot supported by available system I/O capacity. Channel status is reported through dedicated front-panel LEDs, allowing local verification of field signal presence during commissioning and troubleshooting.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does the IC694MDL240 support hot insertion or hot removal?
A: The supplied documentation does not specify hot-swap capability. Module insertion and removal should follow the RX3i system maintenance procedures and applicable controller power-state requirements.Q: What field devices can be connected to the input channels?
A: The module is intended for AC discrete input signals generated by devices such as push-button switches, limit switches, relay contacts, and AC-powered proximity sensors operating within the specified voltage range.Q: What isolation protection is provided between field wiring and module electronics?
A: The module provides optical isolation rated at 250 VAC continuous voltage and 1500 VAC for a 1-minute test interval.
Field Installation Guidelines
