GE Fanuc IC693MDL310 Series 90-30 Output Module

Configured for discrete AC switching in Series 90-30 PLC platforms, the GE Fanuc IC693MDL310 (IC693MDL310 Output Module) provides direct physical/electrical execution.

Hardware Specifications

GE Fanuc Technical Characteristics

• Backplane Bus Communication Velocity: Transfers digital output bit states directly across the Series 90-30 backplane bus, maintaining microsecond-level register updates without scan-cycle synchronization delays.
• I/O Density Scaling: Integrates 12 discrete 120 VAC output circuits split into two isolated 6-point banks into a single slot format to maximize panel control density.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can the IC693MDL310 output module be inserted or removed while the Series 90-30 rack is powered? A: No. The IC693MDL310 does not support hot-swapping; backplane logic power must be isolated prior to removing or inserting the module to prevent CPU fault trips or hardware damage.

Q: How are the 12 AC output points electrically isolated from one another on the IC693MDL310? A: The 12 outputs are divided into two independent isolated groups containing 6 output points each, allowing operation across distinct power phases or separate field circuits.

Q: What is the continuous current rating for each output point on the IC693MDL310? A: Each individual output point is rated for a maximum continuous current of 0.5 A at 120 VAC.

Field Installation Guidelines

1. Isolate primary system line power and external field power loops supplying the module terminal block prior to installation or wiring.
2. Align the module housing with the target rack slot guide rails and press firmly until the top and bottom backplane connectors fully seat.
3. Route field load conductors separately from low-voltage communication lines to minimize high-frequency electromagnetic noise coupling.
4. Verify that field fuse protection is rated appropriately for 0.5 A continuous current per channel to prevent conductor overload during short-circuit events.
