GE Fanuc IC698PSA100E | RX7i 120/240V AC Power Supply

GE Fanuc IC698PSA100E PACSystems RX7i Power Supply Module

Product Overview

The IC698PSA100E is a high-capacity power supply module engineered specifically for the GE Fanuc PACSystems RX7i controller series. Occupying the dedicated Slot 0 (the leftmost slot) of the RX7i rack, this module provides the essential regulated DC power required for the CPU and all associated I/O modules. It is designed for maximum versatility, accepting both AC and DC input voltages to suit various global industrial standards. With a robust 20A output capacity, it ensures stable system performance even in fully populated rack configurations across demanding automation environments.

Core Technical Advantages

This power module is built for efficiency and thermal stability, boasting an 85% energy conversion efficiency that minimizes heat generation within the control cabinet. It features a wide input voltage range, supporting 85 to 264 VAC or 100 to 150 VDC, making it resilient to fluctuations in industrial power grids. The module delivers multiple regulated output voltages, including +5 VDC, +12 VDC, and -12 VDC, providing comprehensive power support for the backplane logic and communication circuits. Designed for extreme reliability, it maintains peak performance across an extended operating temperature range of -25°C to +60°C.

Technical Specifications

Installation & Engineering Guide

Installation of the power supply must be performed in Slot 0 of the PACSystems RX7i rack. Before applying power, ensure the input voltage matches the nominal ratings of 120/240 VAC or 125 VDC to prevent hardware damage. The module features 125W of input power capacity, which is sufficient to drive high-performance CPU modules and a wide range of discrete and analog I/O. Proper ventilation should be maintained around the rack to leverage the module's high operating temperature threshold. It is also recommended to use dedicated grounding to minimize electrical noise interference with the backplane communication signals.

Engineering Advantages

The PACSystems RX7i architecture is known for its high-speed VME-based backplane. This power module is essential for maintaining that high-performance standard, providing clean and consistent DC outputs to the rack. Despite its heavy-duty current delivery, the module features a optimized design with a shipping weight of approximately 0.8 kg, ensuring it does not add unnecessary mechanical stress to the rack assembly. By consolidating high-efficiency power delivery and versatile input options into a single slot, the module simplifies system design and reduces the footprint required for large-scale industrial controllers in power generation and heavy manufacturing.

Technical FAQs

Q1: Can this power supply be installed in any slot?
A1: No, this module is specifically keyed and designed for Slot 0 (the leftmost position) in the RX7i rack. It cannot be placed in standard I/O slots.

Q2: Does it support both AC and DC inputs simultaneously?
A2: While the module is compatible with both 120/240 VAC and 125 VDC power sources, only one type of input should be connected and used as the primary power source at any given time.

Q3: Is a Certificate of Origin (COO) available for this module?
A3: Yes, we provide official documentation, including a Certificate of Origin, for all our GE Fanuc components to support international trade and compliance requirements.
