Product Overview

The GE Fanuc IC694MDL742 DC Output Module is a 16-point discrete output card for PACSystems RX3i racks. It provides transistor-based output switching for 12/24 VDC field devices and is commonly used for controlling relays, solenoids, indicators, and other DC loads in automation panels.

The module is grouped for structured wiring and includes onboard protection and clear status indication to support safe operation and faster troubleshooting. It can be installed in any compatible RX3i slot and supports replacement practices that minimize downtime when used with the appropriate system insertion/removal mode.
