Application & Technical Notes
As an automation component, the IC694MDL260 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.
Specific electrical and mechanical ratings depend on the exact configuration and suffix of the part; the original datasheet should be consulted for the definitive specification.
Maintenance & Diagnostics
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 IC694MDL260, 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.

Specifications
The IC694MDL260 is a PACSystem RX3i Discrete Input module formerly manufactured by GE Fanuc, now under Emerson Automation. This module features Thirty-Two (32) 120 VAC input channels in Four (4) isolated groups of Eight (8) channels each group. It accepts 0-132 VAC input voltage range and input current of 7.0 mA at rated voltage. This module has backplane current draw of 220 mA.
Description
| Note | The IC694MDL260 is a PACSystem RX3i compatible module. It is specifically a high-density discrete input module that support positive logic wiring. It comes with Thirty-Two (32) input channels composed of Four (4) input groups of Eight (8) channels each. Each group are individually group however, each group uses same common reference therefore, failure of the common reference will render the group unusable with other groups operating normally. Like any other discrete input module, the IC694MDL260 accommodates field devices with On and Off operating modes only, sometimes referred to as Binary or Digital. Compatible devices that may be interface to this module includes all types of switches, proximity sensors and auxiliary contacts of contactors, overload relays and similar devices. The IC694MDL260 input channels operate at input Voltage range of 0-132 VAC, 47-63 Hz with nominal voltage of 120 VAC. With group isolation, each group can be operated with different voltage frequencies and voltage levels, within the acceptable range of the module specified by the On state voltage range of 70-132 VAC and Off-state Voltage range of 0-20 VAC. Additionally, this module has minimum On-state current of 5 mA and maximum Off-state current of 2.5 mA. The IC694MDL260 discrete input module has group to group continuous isolation rating of 264 VAC and 1500 VAC isolation rating for One (1) minute. It has capable of detecting terminal block presence and reports this to the RX3i host controller. The module draws an input current of 220 mA @ 5VDC bus voltage when all inputs are activated. The IC694MDL260 input module is manufactured by GE Fanuc and it operates with a voltage of 120 Volts. The input module has 32 input points and it is compatible with the RX3i PacSystem PLC system. The current rating of the IC694MDL260 module is 7 milliamps and its operating frequency range is 50 to 60 Hertz. The IC694MDL260 input module needs a terminal block for operation for both standard bases and expansion bases. The 32 input points of the module are arranged in 4 groups of 8 with 4 isolated input points in each group. All 4 input groups are isolated, but the inputs are all made for supporting common connections. The IC694MDL260 input module has a DIP switch on the rear side that can also be used to change the input filter time when it is in the leftmost position. The field to backplane isolation of the module is 264 Volts AC, and the maximum isolation voltage is 1500 volts AC for 1 minute. The input filter time of the module ranges between 20 milliseconds and 2540 milliseconds in 20 milliseconds increment time. The on-state input voltage of the module ranges between 70 and 132 Volts AC, and the off-state voltage ranges between 0 and 20 Volts AC. The on/off response time reaches 840 milliseconds maximum. The IC694MDL260 input module should be operated at a temperature range between 0 and 50 degrees Celsius. During the system operation process, the input filter time can be modified by using a controller with the assigned memory. The new setting is equal to the new time value divided by 20. |
