GE IC694MDL930C Relay Output Module – Series 90-30 PLC Discrete Output
Imagine a critical production line suddenly losing control of its actuators, solenoid valves, and motor starters — not because of a mechanical failure, but because a single relay output module has failed. Without a reliable discrete output interface, the entire PLC control loop collapses: conveyors stop, safety interlocks go blind, and unplanned downtime costs mount by the minute. In high-stakes industrial environments, the output module is not a peripheral — it is the final command authority between your controller and the physical world.
The GE IC694MDL930C is a 16-point relay output module engineered for the GE Series 90-30 programmable logic controller platform — one of the most widely deployed mid-range PLC families in global manufacturing. Within the IC694 I/O module lineup, the MDL930C occupies a critical position: it delivers isolated relay contacts capable of switching both AC and DC loads, making it the preferred choice for mixed-voltage field wiring scenarios where solid-state outputs are insufficient. Trusted by system integrators and OEMs across automotive, food & beverage, water treatment, and discrete manufacturing sectors worldwide, this module represents GE’s commitment to robust, field-proven automation hardware.

Key Features & Benefits
- AC/DC Mixed-Load Capability: Relay contacts switch both AC and DC field devices from a single module, eliminating the need for separate output cards for mixed-voltage panels.
- 16 Independent Output Points: High channel density reduces rack space requirements and lowers per-point hardware cost in large I/O systems.
- Optical Isolation: Protects the PLC backplane and CPU from field-side voltage transients, inductive kickback, and ground loops — critical in noisy industrial environments.
- Drop-in Series 90-30 Compatibility: Installs directly into any IC693 or IC694 baseplate slot without firmware changes, enabling fast maintenance replacement with zero reprogramming.
- Proven Field Reliability: The MDL930 relay output family has accumulated decades of operational hours across global installations, with a well-documented maintenance and troubleshooting ecosystem.
- LED Status Indicators: Per-point output status LEDs enable rapid visual diagnostics without test equipment during commissioning and fault-finding.
Industry & Equipment Applications
- Automotive Manufacturing: Controlling welding gun solenoids, conveyor motor starters, and fixture clamp actuators in body-in-white and powertrain assembly lines.
- Food & Beverage Processing: Switching pneumatic valve banks, agitator drives, and CIP (clean-in-place) pump contactors in hygienic process environments.
- Water & Wastewater Treatment: Operating pump station motor starters, valve actuators, and chemical dosing systems under continuous-duty cycles.
- Discrete Manufacturing & Assembly: Controlling pick-and-place actuators, part ejectors, and indicator lamps in high-cycle automated assembly cells.
- Building Automation & HVAC: Switching fan coil units, damper actuators, and lighting contactors in legacy GE-based BAS installations.
- Oil & Gas Upstream/Midstream: Controlling wellhead valve actuators and compressor auxiliary systems in hazardous-area panel builds (verify area classification requirements).
