Selection Guide
Use the following criteria to confirm the IC693MDL730F is the right module for your application, or to select an appropriate alternative:
- Output type needed: Sourcing (positive logic) DC → IC693MDL730F ✓; Sinking (negative logic) → IC693MDL724; Relay → IC693MDL740/741/742
- Point count: 8 points → IC693MDL730F; 16 points → IC693MDL731; 32 points → IC693MDL732
- Voltage range: 12/24VDC → IC693MDL730F; 120VAC → IC693MDL752; 240VAC → IC693MDL753
- Current per point: Up to 0.5A → IC693MDL730F; higher current loads → relay output modules
- Slot availability: Single-slot module — confirm rack has an available slot
- Revision: Suffix “F” is the latest production revision; earlier revisions (A–E) are functionally compatible

Replacement & Compatibility FAQ
Q: Is IC693MDL730 the same as IC693MDL730F?
A: Yes — the suffix “F” denotes the production revision. Both are functionally identical and pin-compatible. The “F” revision is the latest and preferred for new installations.
Q: Can I use IC693MDL730F in a Series 90-70 rack?
A: No. The IC693 series is exclusively for Series 90-30 racks. Series 90-70 uses IC697-series modules.
Q: What is the difference between positive logic and negative logic output?
A: Positive logic (sourcing) outputs supply current to the load. Negative logic (sinking) outputs provide a return path. The IC693MDL730F is positive logic — ensure your field devices are wired accordingly.
Q: Can IC693MDL731 replace IC693MDL730F?
A: The IC693MDL731 is a 16-point module occupying the same single slot. It is rack and CPU compatible, but your program will need to account for the additional 8 output points.
Q: Do you provide a warranty?
A: Yes. New units carry the manufacturer warranty. Refurbished units include a 90-day Konmask operational warranty. Contact us for details.
