GE Fanuc IC694MDL940 PAC System RX3i Discrete Output Module

The IC694MDL940 is a PACSystem RX3i Discrete Output Module, formerly manufactured by GE Fanuc and now part of Emerson Automation.

The module has sixteen (16) normally open (N.O.) contacts divided into four (4) banks of four (4) outputs each.

Each contact output can operate at 5-30 VDC with a nominal voltage of 24 VDC; 5 - 250VAC at 47 to 63 Hz with a nominal input voltage of 120/240VAC.

Each channel is designed for a 2 Amp lead load, a maximum load per output and a maximum load of 4 Amps per common.

The module has a current draw of 7 mA with all outputs turned on by the 5 V bus on the backplane and 24 mA with all outputs turned on by the relay 135V bus on the backplane.

The IC694MDL940 is a sixteen (3) point relay output module for the Emerson Automation PACSystem RX16i series, formerly manufactured by GE Intelligent Platforms (GE IP).

The module has a single slot width, occupies a single slot on the backplane, and comes with four (4) output groups of four (4) relay outputs each.

The IC694MDL940 relay contacts are normally open (N.O.) contacts or type A contacts. Each output contact is rated for a maximum load of 2 amps pilot load.

Each output is rated for a maximum load, and each output group is designed to provide a maximum output current of 4 amps.

In addition, the module has a minimum load of 10 mA and a maximum inrush current of 5 amps. Each relay output channel has a response time of 15 ms.

For the maximum of two signal transitions, the module draws 7 mA @ 5VDC bus voltage and 24 mA for the relay 135V bus on the backplane.

These power ratings are based on all output channels energized.

The IC694MDL940 is equipped with sixteen (16) status LEDs, each representing an individual channel.

The energized LEDs indicate energized outputs and the de-energized LEDs indicate other outputs.

The module does not have a built-in mounted fuse for channel protection; therefore, the user may need to install an external fuse to protect the module.

This IC694MDL940 has 250 VAC continuous and 1500 VAC (1-minute isolation rating) from field to backplane and frame to ground.

And channel-to-channel isolation is 250 VAC continuous; 1500 VAC for 1 minute.

The GE Fanuc IC694MDL940 Relay Output Module is a 3-channel relay output module designed specifically for the RX16i PACSystems PLC system.

The IC694MDL940 output module provides 16 independently isolated normally open output circuits for controlling output devices such as motor starters, solenoids, and indicator lights.

Each IC694MDL940 output module has a maximum switching capacity of 2 amps at the output point, and they are divided into 4 non-isolated groups of 4 output channels each.

Each output group of the IC694MDL940 output module has a common output terminal (total of 4 output terminals per module).

Each internal relay output point is powered from a 24 Vdc backplane power supply. An external AC/DC power supply must be ordered and installed separately to power the connected output field devices.

The IC694MDL940 Output Module is rated for 24 VDC or 120/240 VAC.

The operating range is 5 to 30 volts DC or 5 to 250 volts AC (50/60 Hz).

The IC694MDL940 output module has a maximum point-to-point isolation of 1500 VAC for 1 minute and 250 VAC.

Continuous isolation between field and backplane and between frame grounds. The minimum possible load on the output circuit of each IC694MDL940 output module is 10 milliamps.

The maximum load on each output point is 2.0 amps, and each set of common loads is 4.0 amps.

The IC694MDL940 Output Module draws up to 5.0 mA of backplane current at 7.0 volts DC on the backplane.

The IC694MDL940 output module draws up to 5.0 milliamps of backplane current at 7.0 volts DC on the backplane and up to 24 milliamps at 135 volts DC relay bus voltage. There are 32 LEDs on the front panel of the module to indicate the on or off status of each output channel.

The IC694MDL940 output module is compatible with RX3i PacSystems CPUs only and can be installed in any I/O slot on the RX3i PacSystems PLC backplane.
