GE IC693MDL240 Discrete Input Module – Series 90-30 PLC
Imagine a production line suddenly going blind — sensors firing, field signals changing, but the PLC receiving nothing. Without a reliable discrete input module, the controller cannot read the state of limit switches, proximity sensors, push buttons, or safety interlocks. The result: unplanned downtime, unsafe conditions, and costly production losses. The GE IC693MDL240 is the critical bridge between the physical world and your control logic, ensuring every field signal is captured accurately and in real time.
The IC693MDL240 is a 16-point, 24VDC discrete input module designed for the GE Series 90-30 PLC platform — one of the most widely deployed mid-range programmable logic controller families in North American and global industrial automation. Within the Series 90-30 ecosystem, the IC693MDL240 occupies the core position for high-density digital input applications, offering a balance of channel count, voltage compatibility, and noise immunity that makes it the default choice for machine builders and system integrators worldwide.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the IC693MDL240 compatible with the GE RX3i (IC695) platform?
A: No. The IC693MDL240 is designed specifically for the Series 90-30 (IC693) backplane architecture. It is not directly compatible with the RX3i (IC695) platform, which uses a different backplane and module form factor.
Q: Can I use the IC693MDL240 with 120VAC field devices?
A: No. The IC693MDL240 is rated for 24VDC inputs only. For 120VAC discrete inputs, GE offers alternative modules such as the IC693MDL230. Please contact us to confirm the correct part for your application.
