IC697PWR724 GE Fanuc 90-70 24VDC Power Module 90W New

Product Overview

The GE Fanuc IC697PWR724 is a 90-Watt rack-mounted power supply module engineered for Series 90-70 programmable logic controllers and VME-compatible integrated racks. Operating on a nominal 24 VDC input, this module weighs approximately 1.75 kg (3.86 lbs) and mounts directly onto the leftmost slot of the chassis via a 48-pin backplane connector. It delivers highly regulated triple DC output rails to support local processing logic or dual-rack expansions via interconnection cabling, provided the combined system draw remains within safe load limitations.

Core Technical Advantages

• Dual-Rack Power Flexibility: Capably drives a single-rack configuration or distributes multi-rail DC outputs across two interconnected racks simultaneously via cable.
• High-Current Output Density: Delivers clean, logic-level sequencing power across three separate voltage lines (5V, 12V, and -12V) to easily sustain intensive industrial I/O architectures.
• Industrial Power Protection: Equipped with active overvoltage and overcurrent safeguards, alongside a 22-Joule inrush energy threshold, to completely protect internal electronics from hazardous line surges.

Technical Specifications

Installation & Engineering Guide

• Slot Placement: Firmly slide the 1.75 kg unit into the leftmost slot of the Series 90-70 or VME rack. Ensure the 48-pin backplane connector engages fully with the receiver before securing all terminal mounting hardware.
• Dual-Rack Expansion: When powering a secondary chassis, bridge the systems using the designated interface cable. Calculate the continuous draw of both racks to verify the combined total stays strictly beneath the 90-Watt power budget.
• Thermal Constraints: Monitor the surrounding environment to keep ambient temperatures within the 0 to 60 °C window. If field conditions breach 60 °C, system capacity derating must be applied to maintain baseline operational safety.

Technical FAQs

Q1: What are the specific current output limits for the DC power rails?
A1: The module outputs 5 VDC at 26 A, 12 VDC at 4 A, and –12 VDC at 2 A, provided the concurrent combined load does not cross the 90-Watt threshold.

Q2: How does the IC697PWR724 manage momentary field voltage drops?
A2: It provides an integrated 10-millisecond ride-through time at 20 VDC input, keeping system log sequencing and processor logic running steadily during quick brownouts.

Q3: Can this 24 VDC module accept unstable industrial inputs safely?
A3: Yes. It works reliably across a broad input voltage range of 18 to 32 VDC, dynamically smoothing out typical battery bank shifts and raw generator fluctuations.
