GE Fanuc IC693MDL940M Series 90-30 Relay Output Module
The GE Fanuc IC693MDL940M, also cataloged as the IC693MDL940 Relay Output Module, operates as a dedicated hardware component for switching AC and DC field loads within Series 90-30 PLC platforms. Installed in any standard I/O slot of a 5-slot or 10-slot baseplate, the module provides 16 normally-open relay output channels grouped to control external motor starters, solenoid valves, and indicator lamps.

Backplane Bus Communication Velocity & I/O Density Scaling
The IC693MDL940M processes discrete output commands directly over the parallel backplane bus, maintaining high backplane bus communication velocity during main sweep execution. Electromechanical relays provide complete electrical isolation between internal logic signals and high-voltage field loads. Packing 16 discrete switching channels into a single module chassis optimizes rack space and supports high-efficiency I/O density scaling across complex panel layouts.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the IC693MDL940M relay module hot-swappable during system operation?
A: No, the IC693MDL940M is not hot-swappable. System power to the baseplate and field wiring circuits must be fully disconnected prior to inserting or removing the module to prevent electrical arcing and backplane logic damage.
Q: How are the 16 output channels divided for field wiring connections?
A: The outputs are organized into 4 distinct groups containing 4 relay channels each. Every 4-point group utilizes a dedicated common power terminal to allow independent voltage levels across different load channels.
Q: What power rails does the IC693MDL940M draw from the Series 90-30 backplane?
A: The module draws 7 mA from the internal 5 VDC logic bus to power status logic, alongside 135 mA from the 24 VDC relay bus to energize internal relay coil circuits.
Field Installation Guidelines
- De-energize all primary rack power and field load power sources before installing the module into an I/O slot.
- Install external suppression devices, such as RC snubber networks across AC inductive loads or flyback diodes across DC coils, to prevent contact pitting and extend mechanical contact life.
- Ensure total current passing through any single common terminal does not exceed the maximum rating of 4 A.
- Route field load wiring through the hinged terminal block cover and maintain distinct separation between low-voltage logic signals and AC power lines.
