Overview
Fanuc IC693MDL753C is a discrete output module engineered for the Series 90-30 Programmable Logic Controller platform. This 12/24 volt DC, 0.5A positive logic output module is designed for the Series 90-30 PLC and is equipped with 32 discrete outputs. The module features opto-couplers that provide backplane isolation between the field side and logic side. It is a reliable interface module for controlling industrial equipment and field devices in manufacturing and process automation environments.
Key Features
- 32 discrete outputs arranged in four separate isolated groups of eight, with each group having its own dedicated common
- Sourcing-type outputs that switch loads on the positive side of the power supply with capability to switch loads from +12 through +24 VDC and source current to a maximum of 0.5 amps per point
- Two male 24-pin connectors on the front module; output groups A and B use the right connector, while groups C and D use the left connector
- Output current rating of 0.5 Amperes per point with 4 Amperes maximum per group and 3 Amperes maximum per common pin
- 250 Volts isolation and 100 Volts optical isolation between field side and logic side
- Positive logic control—high voltage = ON state; low voltage = OFF state
