GE Fanuc IC693MDL340 Product Documentation
1. Product Description
The GE Fanuc IC693MDL340 is a 4-channel analog input module designed for GE Fanuc’s 90-30 series PLC systems. It converts analog signals from sensors (e.g., thermocouples, RTDs, voltage/current transmitters) into digital data for PLC processing. The IC693MDL340 supports voltage (0–10V DC) and current (4–20mA) inputs, with 12-bit resolution and galvanic isolation to protect against electrical noise. Its modular design and plug-and-play compatibility make it ideal for industrial automation, process control, and monitoring applications.

6. Selection Recommendations
- Input Type: Choose the IC693MDL340 if your application requires both voltage and current inputs (configurable per channel).
- 通道数需求: For more channels, pair with the IC693MDL350 (8-channel analog input module).
- 兼容性检查: Ensure compatibility with your PLC’s firmware version (e.g., Series E or later).
7. Precautions
- 接线: Use shielded cables for analog signals to minimize noise interference.
- 电压限制: Do not exceed 10V DC for voltage inputs or 20mA for current inputs.
- 校准: Perform periodic calibration using GE Fanuc’s Proficy software to maintain accuracy.
- 静电防护: Ground the module and use antistatic equipment during installation.
