GE IC697MDL940 is discrete output module, it has 16 point and relay output
The main functions and purposes of this IC697MDL940 which is 16-point relay output module are summarized as below:
Load switching capability: Suitable for controlling low to medium power loads, such as relays, contactors and indicator lights. The rated resistance load for each output point is:
2 A (120/240 VAC or 24 VDC)
0.2 A (125 VDC)
Integrated power supply and protection: The module provides power to the relay coils internally. Each output point has an independent fuse and is equipped with an RC absorption circuit (to suppress electromagnetic interference).
Status indication: The top of the module is equipped with LED indicator lights, which are used to display the on-off status of each output point on the logic side (PLC side), facilitating on-site monitoring.
Easy wiring and maintenance: On-site wiring uses detachable terminal boards; the module has a mechanical key position design to ensure that only the same type of module can be inserted during on-site replacement, avoiding incorrect installation.
Flexible configuration: No need to use jumpers or DIP switches. The I/O address and other parameters can be configured by the user through the programming software. The configuration method supports MS-DOS or Windows (Windows 95/NT) programming software, and is carried out through Ethernet TCP/IP or SNP port. The programming device is compatible with IBM XT/AT/PS/2 or similar PCs.

How many types of this module in GE PLC systems
The module models of different series vary. The mainstream ones include the following:
- RX3i Series (Current mainstream)
IC695RLY002: 16-point relay output, 2A per point, 4 common terminals (each group of 4 points), supports AC/DC loads.
IC695RLY003: 16-point relay output, with channel diagnostic function (detects open circuits, short circuits), suitable for high-reliability scenarios.
- VersaMax Series (Distributed I/O)
IC200MDL940: 16-point relay output, 2A per point, 4 groups of common terminals, spring clip terminals, suitable for compact installation.
IC200MDL941: 16-point relay output, 2A per point, with overvoltage protection, compatible with a wider temperature range (-20~60℃).
- 90-30 Series (Classic, gradually discontinued but still widely used)
IC693MDL931: 16-point relay output, 2A per point, LED status indication, can directly drive contactors, solenoid valves.
IC693MDL932: 16-point relay output, each point has an independent common terminal (16 independent circuits), suitable for mixed loads of different voltage levels.
- RX7i Series (Large/Redundant System)
IC697RLY002: 16-point relay output, 2A per point, 4 groups of common terminals, supports hot swapping (requires backplane).
Application Case Illustration
The product is widely used in both light industry and heavy industry. Let's list some real events that everyone can recognize in daily life to illustrate this.
Case 1: Automotive component spraying production line (RX3i + IC695RLY002)
Scene: Control 12 peripheral devices (electromagnetic valves, fans, alarm lights) for the spraying robots.
Module function:
Drives 12 220V AC solenoid valves (for controlling the on/off of the paint)
Control the contactors of two exhaust fans
Output 2-channel alarm indicator lights (material shortage/fault)
Advantages: Relay output directly drives AC loads without the need for intermediate relays, saving cabinet space; each group consists of 4 points with a common terminal, facilitating group control of different voltages (such as a mixture of 220V AC and 24V DC).
Case 2: Intelligent Building Lighting Control System (VersaMax + IC200MDL940)
Scenario: Lighting control for the public areas on 16 floors of the office building.
Module Function:
Each output point controls an AC contactor (to drive the lighting circuit of the entire floor)
Combined with the schedule (automatically turns on from 8:00 to 18:00 on weekdays) and the feedback from the light sensor
Advantages: The module is small in size and can be installed distributively beside the floor distribution box, reducing wiring costs; the relay has mechanical isolation, avoiding interference to the PLC when inductive loads start and stop.
