The GE Fanuc IC694MDL940 serves as the primary IC694MDL940 Relay Output Module utilized to execute physical relay switching of field devices across PACSystems RX3i platforms. The module provides sixteen discrete normally open (Form A) contact outputs arranged in four isolated groups of four channels each, allowing control over external solenoids, motor starters, and indicators.

The IC694MDL940 interfaces directly with the PACSystems RX3i PCI backplane bus, executing high-velocity status transitions without adding communication latency. By packing 16 Form A relay outputs into a single-slot chassis width, the module optimizes rack-space density. It draws nominal operating power directly from the 5 VDC and 24 VDC backplane buses to actuate internal coils. To prevent signal interference, optocouplers provide electrical isolation between the internal RX3i logic circuits and the external high-voltage field wiring.
Q: Does the IC694MDL940 include internal fuses to protect the output channels?
A: No, the module does not have internal fuses. External current-limiting fuses must be wired in series with the field outputs to protect the internal relay contacts from overcurrent and short-circuit faults.
Q: Can this module be hot-swapped under field power?
A: No, hot-swapping the module while the RX3i backplane or external field power is active is not supported and can cause damage to the backplane connectors or trigger unexpected state transitions. Power down both the PLC backplane and external field circuits before insertion or removal.
Q: What is the mechanical and electrical life expectancy of the relay contacts?
A: The relay contact lifespan ranges from 100,000 to 1,000,000 operations, heavily dependent on the operating voltage, load characteristics (inductive versus resistive), and current draw of the connected load.
