General Electric IC693MDL733 Negative Logic Output Module

The GE IC693MDL733 is a 24VDC Negative Logic Output Module from the GE Fanuc Series 90-30 family, engineered for reliable and efficient output control in industrial automation systems. It features 8 output points configured for negative logic (sinking) operation, meaning it provides a return path to ground for connected loads. This module is typically used in control systems that interface with field devices requiring a sinking output configuration.

Designed with industrial robustness in mind, the IC693MDL733 offers electrical isolation between the field side and the logic side, protecting the controller from potential faults in the field. Each output is equipped with LED status indicators for easy visual diagnostics. With its compatibility across a wide range of GE Fanuc PLC systems, it serves as a versatile and dependable output module for many control applications.
