Product Overview
When a Series 90-30 rack loses its discrete output capability, production lines stall. The IC693MDL760A from GE Fanuc (now under Emerson ownership) is a single-slot module that restores five independent 24 VDC solenoid outputs to your control system. It was engineered for demanding industrial duty, and it remains a practical spare for plants still running the Series 90-30 platform.
This revision A unit is discontinued (End of Sale, last verified 2026-09). That makes sourcing genuine stock a priority rather than a convenience. Oil AutoTech specializes in fast-dispatch spares for oil, gas and industrial automation, so you can keep critical loops running while planning a longer-term migration.
Technical Specifications
Five DC outputs form the core of this module. Each point handles 0.5 A at 30 VDC, giving you enough drive strength for typical solenoid pilot valves, indicator lamps and small relays. The rated voltage is 24 VDC, with an output voltage range of 18 to 30 VDC — a useful tolerance band for real-world supply variation in field cabinets.
Backplane current consumption is just 75 mA from the 5 V bus. That low draw matters when you are populating a rack with mixed I/O and need to stay within the power budget. The module occupies a single slot, so it fits without forcing you to expand the chassis.

Where This Module Fits
Discrete solenoid output modules sit between the controller and the final control element. In oil and gas terminals, the IC693MDL760A often drives valve pilot solenoids on skids where a compact five-point block is exactly the right granularity. In water treatment and packaging lines, the same module handles actuator coils and status lamps.
Because the output range extends to 30 VDC, the module tolerates the voltage sag and surge common on 24 VDC distribution in older plants. That headroom reduces nuisance dropouts and keeps solenoid response crisp.
Replacement and Upgrade Guidance
If you are maintaining a Series 90-30 installation, treat this module as a strategic spare. Keep at least one on the shelf for each rack that depends on solenoid outputs. When a point fails, swapping the single-slot module takes minutes, while sourcing a replacement can take days if you wait until the failure happens.
For engineers evaluating a migration path, the five-point architecture and 0.5 A per-point rating define the functional envelope any replacement must meet. Document your actual solenoid inrush current before selecting an alternative, because inrush can exceed steady-state ratings.
