This 16-point module interfaces binary field devices such as limit switches, proximity sensors, and pushbuttons directly to the central processing unit backplane. Operating at a nominal voltage of 24 VAC or 24 VDC, it processes digital status updates into %I memory locations. The hardware supports positive or negative logic wiring configurations through a single isolated input group sharing a common terminal return.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHardware Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cfigure class=\"table\"\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eParameter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecification\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIC693MDL241\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGE Fanuc \/ Emerson\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOrigin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUnited States\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.68 kg (1.50 lbs)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e13.0 cm x 4.0 cm x 11.5 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOperating Temp\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0 to 60 deg C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePower Consumption\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e80 mA at 5 VDC (backplane bus); 125 mA at 24 VDC (isolated bus\/external)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInput Channels\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16 discrete points (single isolated group)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNominal Voltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e24 VAC \/ 24 VDC (50\/60 Hz)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOperating Voltage Range\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0 to 30 VAC \/ 0 to 30 VDC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOn-State Voltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e11.5 to 30.0 VAC \/ VDC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOff-State Voltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.0 to 4.0 VAC \/ VDC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOn-State Current\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.2 mA minimum at 11.5 VDC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOff-State Current\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.0 mA maximum\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInput Impedance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.2 kohm typical\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eResponse Time\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOn: 12 ms maximum; Off: 28 ms maximum\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eField-to-Logic Isolation\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1500 VAC \/ 2121 VDC for 1 minute\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBackplane Bus Architecture and Network Determinism\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe IC693MDL241 routes input data across the proprietary Series 90-30 parallel backplane bus. High-speed optocouplers isolate internal logic traces from field-side voltage transients up to 1500 VAC RMS, preserving backplane bus communication velocity and preventing ground loops. The module backplane logic updates the CPU input table deterministically every scan cycle. When evaluating I\/O density scaling inside 5-slot or 10-slot Series 90-30 baseplates, system designers must account for the dual current draw profile: 80 mA from the internal 5 VDC bus and 125 mA from the isolated 24 VDC bus or external supply. Onboard firmware flash compatibility permits continuous operation across all CPU firmware revisions without requiring module register remapping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQ: Can the IC693MDL241 handle mixed AC and DC input signals simultaneously on the same module?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: No. Because all 16 channels share a single common return terminal, all connected inputs must share the same power source type and voltage reference (either 24 VAC or 24 VDC).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQ: What happens to backplane current draw when all 16 input points are energized?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: When all inputs transition to logic 1, current draw reaches its maximum specification of 80 mA on the 5 VDC backplane rail and 125 mA on the isolated 24 VDC bus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQ: Is hot-swapping supported for the IC693MDL241 inside a Series 90-30 baseplate?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: No. Removing or inserting the module while the baseplate is powered can corrupt backplane bus communications and damage internal logic components. Always disconnect system power prior to removal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eField Installation Guidelines\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower Down Requirements: Verify that the main CPU baseplate power supply and field circuit power are turned off before inserting or removing the module.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWiring and Terminal Block Termination: Connect field wiring to the removable 20-terminal block. Wire positive or negative logic leads to terminals 2 through 17, and connect the common return to terminal 1 or 20.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShielding and Grounding: Maintain separate wire routing for high-voltage power lines and low-voltage input signals. Ensure the baseplate ground strap terminates to the main enclosure earth ground to mitigate electromagnetic interference.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMechanical Latching: Align the module circuit card with the baseplate card guide slots. Press the module firmly into the backplane connector until the top and bottom retaining clips snap securely into place.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GE Fanuc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44573730537571,"sku":"IC693MDL241","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0583\/5246\/8067\/files\/41._a2f64b1b-2e36-43d9-87fb-951fc4f227a9.jpg?v=1789021839","url":"https:\/\/www.autocontrolglobal.com\/products\/ge-fanuc-ic693mdl241-series-90-30-discrete-input-module","provider":"AutoControl Global","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
