When it comes to the robust and reliable GE Series 90-70 PLC systems, the heart of the operation lies in a stable and dependable power source. The GE IC697PWR711M Power Supply Module is that critical component, ensuring your industrial automation processes run smoothly. This module is more than just a simple converter; it's a engineered solution designed for longevity and performance in demanding environments. Let's explore what makes this power supply a trusted choice for maintaining legacy systems.
What is the GE IC697PWR711M?
The GE IC697PWR711M is a 100-watt power supply module specifically manufactured for the GE Fanuc Series 90-70 programmable logic controller (PLC) system. It serves as the primary power source for the PLC rack, converting incoming AC or DC power into the clean, stable DC voltages required by the CPU, I/O modules, and other system components. Its slide-in rack construction allows for easy installation and maintenance, making it a fundamental building block for any 90-70 system setup.
Key Features and Technical Specifications
This power supply is packed with features that ensure reliability and protection for your valuable PLC hardware. Here are the key specifications and capabilities:
Input Voltage Flexibility: It can operate from a wide range of power sources, including 120 VAC, 240 VAC, or 125 VDC, making it versatile for different industrial settings.
Output Power: It provides a total of 100 watts, distributed across three critical voltage rails:
+5 VDC: Up to 20 amps (primarily for logic circuits).
+12 VDC: Up to 2 amps (often for communications and sensors).
-12 VDC: Up to 1 amp (for certain interface circuits).
Built-in Protections: The module includes electronic short-circuit and overcurrent protection to safeguard both the supply itself and the modules in the rack. A jumper is also provided for overvoltage protection devices.
Power Factor Correction (PFC): For AC operations, PFC improves the efficiency of power usage, reducing harmonic distortion and aligning better with utility power.
Installation and Rack Integration
Integration into your system is straightforward. The IC697PWR711M is designed for a slide-in rack mount and plugs directly into a 48-pin connector on the backplane. It must be installed in the leftmost slot of any standard IC697 rack or a compatible VME Integrator’s rack. Once secured, it not only delivers power but also provides essential logic-level sequencing signals to the backplane, ensuring modules power up and down in the correct order.
Dual-Rack Capability for Expanded Systems
One of the standout features of this power supply is its ability to support a two-rack system from a single unit. If the total power consumption of both racks remains within the 100-watt rating, the IC697PWR711M can efficiently power the entire setup. A prewired cable is used to interconnect the primary and secondary racks, simplifying the expansion of your system without the need for a second power supply, which can lead to significant cost savings and a simpler cabinet layout.
Reliability and Protection for Critical Operations
In an industrial environment, power dips and interruptions are a real concern. The IC697PWR711M is built to handle these challenges. Its output is designed to "ride through" a total loss of input power for at least one full input line cycle at full load, preventing nuisance shutdowns from very brief power glitches. Combined with its comprehensive overcurrent and overvoltage protection, this ride-through capability ensures maximum uptime and protects your system from damaging electrical fault conditions.
Conclusion
The GE IC697PWR711M Power Supply Module is a testament to the durable and forward-thinking design of the Series 90-70 family. Its flexible input range, robust power output, dual-rack capability, and integrated protection features make it an indispensable component for keeping legacy automation systems running reliably for years to come. Whether you're maintaining an existing installation or expanding a trusted platform, the IC697PWR711M provides the solid power foundation your operation depends on.
