Product Overview
Downtime on a Series 90-30 line rarely waits for a procurement cycle. The IC693MDL760B is a 16-point, 24 VDC positive logic sourcing discrete output module from the GE Fanuc / GE Intelligent Platforms Series 90-30 family, now owned by Emerson. It drives field devices directly from the backplane, so a single failed card can stall an entire control loop.
This module splits its 16 outputs into two groups of eight. Each point sources up to 0.5 A at 30 VDC, and the output voltage range spans 18 to 30 VDC. On response time is 12 ms maximum — practical for relay, solenoid, and indicator duty where millisecond latency is not the constraint.
Technical Specifications
| Specification | Value |
|---|---|
| Output Points | 16, 24 VDC positive logic sourcing, two groups of eight |
| Output Voltage Range | 18 to 30 VDC |
| Output Current | 0.5 A per point at 30 VDC |
| On Response Time | 12 ms maximum |
| Backplane Current | 75 mA maximum from 5 V bus, all outputs energized |
| Operating Temperature | 0 to +60°C ambient |
| Storage Temperature | -40 to +85°C |
| Relative Humidity | 5 to 95% non-condensing |
| Protection Rating | IP20 |
| Dimensions (H×W×D) | 124 × 30 × 114 mm, single-slot |
The 75 mA backplane draw is measured with all outputs energized — the worst-case figure for power budgeting. The 124 × 30 × 114 mm single-slot housing keeps rack space predictable when you are mapping a replacement into an existing chassis.
Where This Module Fits
Sourcing outputs suit applications where the module supplies positive voltage to the load. Typical duty includes pilot solenoids, panel indicators, and small contactor coils on oil and gas skids, pump stations, and packaged process equipment.
Because each group of eight shares a common configuration, you can split a machine into two independent output banks — useful when one half of a line runs while the other is isolated for service. The 18 to 30 VDC range tolerates normal supply sag on 24 VDC systems without dropping outputs.
Installation and Setup
Mount the module in a Series 90-30 rack slot and confirm the backplane seating before energizing. Verify that field wiring matches the sourcing configuration: the module provides positive voltage, so loads return to the common. Keep the 0.5 A per-point limit in mind when grouping high-inrush loads such as solenoid valves.
IP20 protection means the card belongs inside a clean enclosure. Respect the 0 to +60°C ambient limit and maintain 5 to 95% non-condensing humidity. Forced airflow or adequate panel spacing helps where cabinets run warm.
Lifecycle and Sourcing
This module is listed as legacy/obsolete in aftermarket channels, and the official Emerson EOS date is not verified. That makes availability, not specification, the real constraint. Please verify current lifecycle status and availability with Oil AutoTech before ordering.
