Overview

The IC694MDL730 is an Output module from GE. It is part of GE's industrial automation product portfolio.

Application & Technical Notes

As an output module, the IC694MDL730 is intended for deployment in panel-based control cabinets and machine enclosures where the GE product portfolio equipment is installed. It drives actuators, relays, valves and indicators from controller commands, acting as the actuation layer between logic and the machine.

Key published characteristics include a Range 12-24V DC +20%, -15% rating. These values should be confirmed against the current manufacturer datasheet before final selection, as options and suffixes vary by configuration.

Maintenance & Diagnostics

Verify field wiring, shielding and grounding at installation; check terminal torque and confirm signal types match the configured range. Periodically inspect for loose terminations, induced noise and channel-level diagnostics reported by the controller. 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 IC694MDL730, 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 the module matches your GE product portfolio rack, the required channel count, signal type and voltage, and the firmware/configuration of the controller. 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 GE Fanuc Automation IC694MDL730 output module has one group of 8 outputs. it operates with a voltage of 12 to 24 Volts DC.

Description

NoteThe IC694MDL730 output module is an output module that is one of the I/O modules from the RX3i series manufactured by GE Fanuc Automation. This output module comes with 8 outputs that share 1 common power output. Unlike other output modules, this one comes with special features that enable it to source the current to the loads through the common or the positive power bus. The GE Fanuc Automation IC694MDL730 output module is compatible with different devices such as motor starters and indicators, among others. It comes with individual LEDs that show the individual status of each input. It also comes with a protective feature that consists of two 5-Amp fuses that protect the whole group of outputs. The GE Fanuc Automation IC694MDL730 output module operates with a rated voltage of 12 to 24 Volts DC and an output voltage range of 12 to 24 Volts DC. The isolation voltage between the field and the logic side is of 1500 Volts. The output current is 2 Amps per point. The fuse temperature affects the current that is used by the module, and at 60 degrees Celsius, the current will be 2 Amps while at 50 degrees Celsius, the current is 4 Amps. Depending on the temperature that is used, the module might need to be derated. The GE Fanuc Automation IC694MDL730 output module comes with an inrush current of 9.4 Amps for 10 milliseconds, and an output voltage drop of 1.2 Volts Maximum. The response time is 2 milliseconds maximum and the module has a power consumption rating of 55 milliamps, including all the outputs.
