Overview

The IC693TCM302 is an automation component from GE. The IC693TCM302 temperature control module that is manufactured by GE Fanuc is part of Series 90-30. The IC693TCM302 module is a thermocouple input module and i.

Application & Technical Notes

As an automation component, the IC693TCM302 is intended for deployment in panel-based control cabinets and machine enclosures where the GE product portfolio equipment is installed. It performs a defined automation function within the control system and is selected to match the installed GE platform.

Key published characteristics include a range 18 to 30 Volts DC rating, an operating temperature range of 0 to 55 degrees Celsius (32 to 131 degrees Fahrenheit). These values should be confirmed against the current manufacturer datasheet before final selection, as options and suffixes vary by configuration.

Maintenance & Diagnostics

Respect the published operating temperature window (0 to 55 degrees Celsius (32 to 131 degrees Fahrenheit)); do not exceed it during commissioning or in enclosed panels without airflow. For storage and transit, keep the unit within -40 to 85 degrees Celsius (-40 to 185 degrees Fahrenheit). Inspect terminals and connectors for corrosion or looseness, and confirm the module seats correctly in its carrier. Always de-energise the circuit and follow lock-out/tag-out before handling; refer to the official instruction bulletin for service procedures.

Sourcing & Procurement

When sourcing the IC693TCM302, distinguish three supply tiers: (1) genuine GE stock from an authorised distributor; (2) compatible equivalents or surplus/NOS (new-old-stock) from third parties; (3) alternative parts offering equivalent function. Genuine supply carries the full warranty and traceability; compatible or alternative items may be cheaper but should be validated for form, fit, firmware and certification before use in a live system. PLCXpert publishes this page as an independent reference and does not sell the part — verify every claim with the manufacturer or your distributor.

Confirm mechanical and electrical compatibility with your GE product portfolio installation and the intended function. Lead times and pricing vary by region and lifecycle status; obtain a current quote from an authorised channel rather than relying on stale listings.
