Installation Guidelines
Ensure the PLC baseplate power is disconnected before installing or removing the module.
The module can be installed in any I/O slot of a Series 90-30 baseplate.
Connect the user-supplied pressure source to the fitting located on the bottom of the module.
Connect an external 24 VDC power supply to the DC output connector on the front panel to energize the solenoids.
Use appropriate pneumatic tubing (1/16" or 1/8" barb adapters provided) and ensure all connections are secure to prevent pressure leaks.
Maintain proper grounding practices for the PLC rack to minimize electrical noise interference.
FAQ
What is the primary function of the IC693MDL760?
The IC693MDL760 is a hybrid module that allows the Series 90-30 PLC to directly control pneumatic valves via internal 3-way solenoids while simultaneously providing five discrete 24 VDC outputs for electrical signaling.
Is an external power supply required?
Yes, an external 24 VDC power source must be connected to the front panel connector to provide the necessary power for the internal solenoids and the DC output points.
How are the pneumatic outputs vented?
When an output is turned OFF, the internal valve vents the output port to the atmosphere within the module, allowing for the release of pressure from the connected pneumatic device.
