Summary
GE Fanuc is pleased to announce the introduction of the
Series 90-30 Solenoid Valve Output Module, IC693MDL760. This module provides a
single tightly integrated package for pneumatic control, combining traditional
DC switching circuitry, solenoid-controlled valves and the valve manifold into a
single 90-30 I/O module. The integration of these components into a single
module saves valuable space and installation time in a host of applications.
Features / Specifications
The IC693MDL760 output module provides eleven pneumatic
outputs and five 24VDC sourcing outputs. For each pneumatic output, the module
contains an internal 3-way solenoid-actuated valve and an associated output
fitting, which is located on the front panel. When an output is turned ON, its
internal valve connects a user-supplied pressure source (100 psi maximum) to the
output fitting. When the output is turned OFF, the valve’s output port is
vented to atmosphere inside the module.
The five 24VDC outputs can each drive up to a maximum
0.5A, with a limit of 2.0A total for all five points. Field wiring is connected
to these outputs via a 10-pin connector located on the front panel. The user
must provide 24VDC to this connector to power the positive logic outputs, which
source current to the field connections. This group of five discrete outputs is
electrically isolated from the PLC backplane; however, the outputs are not
individually isolated from each other.
The module is accessed from the logic program as a
standard 16-point output module. When using VersaPro version 2.0 (or later
version) programming software, it should be configured by its catalog number.
When using programming software other than VersaPro version 2.0 (or later
version), the module must be configured as a 16-point generic output module.
The IC693MDL760 also provides connection for an optional
"Forcing Pendent" for use in system maintenance. This pendent is a
small hand-held unit containing eleven switches, one for each valve. Each switch
is labeled to allow the user to easily establish a correlation between any given
switch and its corresponding valve. The pendent is attached to the Solenoid
Valve Output Module via the 12-pin connector, labeled "Pendent," on
the module’s front panel.
- With solenoid power applied (to the DC Outputs
connector), the user may turn the solenoids ON and OFF with the pendent
switches.
- The pendent is intended to allow maintenance personnel
to operate the valves during shut down periods when the main power to PLC
system has been turned off.
