GE IC697PWR710 Series 90-70 Power Supply Modules

GE IC697PWR710 Power Supply Module

Configured for power distribution in Series 90-70 PLC backplanes, the GE IC697PWR710 (IC697PWR710 Power Supply Module) provides direct electrical execution of DC voltage regulation and supply management.

Hardware Specifications

Industrial Control and Power Management

The IC697PWR710 regulates backplane bus communication velocity by ensuring stable current delivery to all rack-mounted modules. The unit incorporates active power factor correction, which optimizes energy utilization and minimizes harmonics. Its internal circuitry maintains firmware flash compatibility by providing clean, regulated power during CPU-intensive processes. Furthermore, the module enforces strict I/O density scaling limits by preventing voltage sagging under high-load conditions, effectively protecting the rack infrastructure from transient spikes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What is the purpose of the 21 ms ride-through time?

A: The ride-through capability maintains stable output voltage for 21 ms upon loss of AC input, allowing the system to bridge short power interruptions without triggering a CPU fault or rack reset.

Q: How do you handle the functional earth ground connection?

A: You must connect the dedicated ground terminal on the module to the functional earth bus using at least 3.3 mm² (AWG #12) copper wire. This connection minimizes electromagnetic interference and ensures the internal noise filters operate correctly.

Q: Can this module be installed in any rack slot?

A: No, you must install the module exclusively in the leftmost slot of the IC697 rack or VME integrator rack to ensure proper alignment with the backplane power pins.

Field Installation Guidelines

1. Physical Positioning: Slide the module into the leftmost slot of the rack. Ensure the rear connectors seat firmly into the backplane receptacles before tightening the front panel retaining screws.
2. Wiring Standards: Utilize 3.3 mm² (AWG #12) conductors for the functional earth ground to meet noise immunity requirements. Route AC/DC input lines through conduits separated from low-voltage signal cables.
3. Input Verification: Confirm that the supply source falls within the 90-264 VAC (47-63 Hz) or 100-150 VDC range before applying power. Incorrect voltage levels may activate the internal overcurrent or overvoltage protection circuitry.
4. Thermal Management: Maintain at least 5 cm of clearance above and below the module to facilitate air circulation. Do not obstruct the airflow paths, as the module relies on convection cooling to maintain operational integrity.
