This module has Two (2) groups of output channel where each group having Eight (8) channels each. Additionally, One (1) common terminal is provided per group providing isolation.
The IC693MDL340 is typically used to energize electrical loads such as relay coils, pilot lamps and other electrical devices with low current rating. It is used to implement output commands as a result of the processing of the downloaded user logic to the CPU. It has maximum output current of 3 A per group and minimum load current of 50 mA.
Other output characteristics of this module includes a maximum inrush current of 20 A for one cycle and minimum load current of 50 mA. It has an output voltage drop of 1.5 VAV and maximum output leakage current of 2 mA at 120 VAC nominal voltage. Each output channel has maximum On transition delay of 1 ms and Off signal delay of ½ cycle. This module has power consumption of 315 mA with all output channels energized.
The IC693MDL340 is provided with individual status indicator for each output channel. It depicts the operational state of each channel of this output module. It also provided with Fuse indicator LED which energizes when the internal fuse is blown.
The GE Fanuc IC693MDL340 module is an output module manufactured as part of the GE Intelligent Platforms/GE Fanuc Series 90-30 product line. It has a 120 Volts AC voltage rating and 0.5 Amps of current rating and it provides 16 output points in 2 separate groups, and each group has 8 points with individual common per group. The IC693MDL340 module allows each group to be used with an independent phase of the AC power supply. Both commons can also be powered using the same supply. Each group has a 3-Amps fuse for protection, as well as an RC snubber for the outputs for protecting them against the power line transient electrical noise.
The GE Fanuc IC693MDL340 module features an 85 to 132 Volts AC output voltage range, 50 to 60 Hertz frequency, and 0.5 Amps of maximum output current per point. Each group allows for an all-out current for each group of 3 Amps. The IC693MDL340 module offers an inrush current of high degree, which makes the outputs suitable for controlling different loads, both incandescent and inductive. The operators of this module must provide an AC power supply to the module to help it operate loads connected to the outputs. The IC693MDL340 module can only run on an AC source of power. It comes with LED indicators on top of the device, which show the ON and OFF status for each of the output points. The LEDs are arranged in 2 rows of 8 green LEDs and with a red LED between the 2 lines.

Maintenance Tips
-
Regular Cleaning: Dust and debris can accumulate inside the unit, potentially affecting performance. Periodically clean the module using compressed air or a soft brush to remove any buildup.
-
Check Output Connections: Ensure that all output connections are secure and free from corrosion. Loose or corroded connections can lead to erratic behavior or failure of connected devices.
-
Inspect for Overheating: Verify that the module operates within its specified temperature range. Overheating can cause component degradation and potential failure. Ensure adequate ventilation around the module.
