GE Fanuc IC694MDL241 PACSystems RX3i Discrete Input Module
The GE Fanuc IC694MDL241A, also cataloged as the IC694MDL241 discrete input module, operates as a dedicated hardware component for sensing 24 VAC or 24 VDC field signals within PACSystems RX3i platforms. Configured with 16 input points sharing a single common terminal, it accepts positive or negative sourcing/sinking DC field wiring as well as 50/60 Hz AC voltage inputs from pushbuttons, limit switches, and proximity sensors.

PACSystems RX3i Deterministic Backplane & I/O Scaling
The IC694MDL241 A module routes field state transitions directly into the PACSystems RX3i backplane input status table (%I) via optical isolation barriers. High-density channel scaling packs 16 software-configurable AC/DC points into a single universal backplane slot. Backplane bus communication velocity guarantees rapid register updates to the CPU, while firmware compatibility ensures hot-swappable module replacement without interrupting system backplane power or degrading rack-wide determinism.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can the IC694MDL241 accept positive and negative logic wiring arrangements?
A: Yes, when operating in DC mode, the module supports both positive logic (sourcing) and negative logic (sinking) field configurations using its shared common input terminal.
Q: Does the IC694MDL241 input module support hot-insertion into an active RX3i baseplate?
A: Yes, the module fully supports Hot Insertion and Removal (RIUP) on PACSystems RX3i universal backplanes, allowing module maintenance without powering down the chassis or stopping the CPU.
Q: How does the module indicate active signal status across its individual input channels?
A: The front panel features 16 green status LEDs that illuminate when the input voltage threshold exceeds 11.5 VAC or 11.5 VDC, indicating an active logic 1 state.
Field Installation Guidelines
Mount the IC694MDL241 into any available RX3i universal baseplate slot by sliding the card along the guide rails until the backplane connectors lock securely. Terminal wiring attaches using an IC694TBB032 box-style or IC694TBS032 spring-clamp terminal block. Route low-voltage 24 VAC/VDC input lines separately from motor control leads or high-voltage AC cables by maintaining at least 300 mm spacing to prevent electromagnetic interference. Standard signal wire shields must be terminated directly to the frame ground bar near the panel entry point. Verify enclosure airflow prevents heat retention, keeping operating environment temperatures between 0 and 60 deg C.
