IC693DVM300 5VDC Input/24VDC Output Digital Valve Driver Module

This module is a 4-channel digital valve driver that can drive loads up to 1.6 amps at 24 VDC. It is designed to mount in a Series 90-30 PLC slot, but it does not connect to the PLC backplane. Instead, it requires external power for both control and output. An example of a suitable external power supply would be the GE Fanuc IC690PWR124. The module operates using TTL-level (5V DC) inputs.
Key Features:

    Output Channels: The module has 4 output channels.
    Output Power: Requires 26 VDC nominal input power for driving outputs.
    Input Voltage: Accepts TTL inputs (5 VDC), but it can handle up to 12 VDC.
    Output Current: Each channel can source 1.6 amps, with a maximum of 6.4 amps for the whole module.
    External Power: Control power and output power are provided externally, so the module doesn't consume power from the PLC backplane.

Output Characteristics:

    Nominal Output Voltage: 24 VDC
    Maximum Output Current: 1.6 amps per channel, 6.4 amps total for the module.
    Output Protection: Each channel is protected by a reversed-biased zener diode to handle free-wheeling inductive current and a 36V transorb for surge and electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection.
    Response Time: The turn-on and turn-off response times are less than 1 microsecond.

Input Characteristics:

    Input Voltage: 5 VDC (TTL-level), with a maximum of 12 VDC.
    Logic 1 Level: Higher than 3.5 VDC
    Logic 0 Level: Lower than 0.7 VDC
    Input Protection: Protected by a 13.3V transorb to handle overvoltage.

Power Supply:

    Auxiliary Outputs: The module provides auxiliary power supplies of +15VDC at 0.3A and -15VDC at 0.2A for external circuits.
    Module Power Requirements: The module requires 26VDC nominal power for operation. The total power consumption of the module is 5.6 watts when all outputs are on.

Fuses:

    Control Power Fuse: 1 Amp fuse for module control power (Buss GDB-1A).
    Output Channel Fuses: Each output channel has a 2 Amp fuse (Littlefuse 239002).

Indicator LEDs:

    DIG CH 1 - 4: These LEDs light up when their corresponding input channel is at a logic "1" level (5V).
    PWR: This LED indicates that 26 VDC nominal power is present at terminals 1 and 2.

Wiring Information:

    Pin 1 & 2: Supply power for the module’s control circuits (+28V.IN and +28V.RET).
    Pins 5-8: TTL-level digital input channels for controlling the valves (DIGITAL.1.IN through DIGITAL.4.IN).
    Pins 10-12: External power supply connections for output channels 1 to 4.
    Pins 13-20: Valve output connections for each channel (VALVE1.OUT through VALVE4.OUT and their respective returns).

Summary:

The IC693DVM300 is a versatile digital valve driver module designed to control valves or similar devices using 5V DC inputs and providing 24V DC outputs. It is capable of driving loads up to 1.6 amps per channel and provides fast switching times, making it ideal for high-speed control applications. The module requires external power and does not draw from the PLC backplane, allowing for greater flexibility in system design.
