General Electric IC693MDL653 Positive/Negative Logic Input Module

The GE IC693MDL653 is a 32-point Positive/Negative Logic Input Module designed for use with GE Fanuc’s Series 90-30 PLC systems. It is a versatile input module that allows field devices to send digital signals to the controller in both positive (sourcing) and negative (sinking) logic formats, offering flexibility in system design and field wiring.

This module is widely used in industrial automation applications where digital input signals (e.g., from switches, sensors, and push buttons) need to be reliably monitored. With its dual logic support and high input density, the IC693MDL653 is particularly effective in environments that demand compact yet robust digital signal interfacing.
