Product Description
The GE IC693MDL648C is a 48VDC discrete input module designed for the GE Series 90-30 PLC family. It offers 16 input points configured into a single group with a common power input. This module supports both positive and negative logic, making it flexible for various industrial automation environments. Each input is optically isolated and utilizes a fast 1 ms ON/OFF response time, ideal for high-speed control systems requiring precise timing.
The input indicators are organized in two rows of green LEDs, labeled A1-A8 and B1-B8, providing clear visual status of each channel. The module is typically installed in 5-slot or 10-slot baseplates and supports a wide array of field devices such as pushbuttons, limit switches, and proximity sensors.
