Description

Product Overview

The GE IC693PWR331 is a high-capacity power supply module designed for GE Fanuc Series 90-30 Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), providing stable DC power distribution for industrial automation systems. It supports a wide input voltage range (2–30V DC) and delivers 30W total output power across three isolated channels: +5V DC (30W max), +24V DC relay power (15W max), and isolated +24V DC (20W max). With 1,500V RMS isolation between input and output, the module ensures robust performance in high-noise environments. Key features include LED status indicators, tool-free installation, and RS485 communication port for remote diagnostics .

Main Features and Advantages

Wide Input Voltage Flexibility: The IC693PWR331 accepts input voltages from 2–30V DC, making it compatible with diverse power sources. It maintains stable outputs even at low input voltages (down to 2V DC) but requires ≥8V DC for startup, ensuring reliable operation in fluctuating power environments .

High-Capacity Outputs: The module provides 30W total output power, with 30W dedicated to +5V DC for power-hungry logic circuits. The isolated +24V DC output can power external devices (e.g., 24V DC input modules), while the +24V DC relay power supports Series 90-30 relay output modules .

Industrial-Grade Reliability: Built with IP20-rated protection against dust and accidental contact, the module operates reliably in extreme temperatures (-40°C to +85°C storage). 1,500V RMS isolation safeguards against voltage spikes and electromagnetic interference, while overvoltage/overcurrent protection ensures component longevity .

User-Friendly Design: The tool-less hinged door simplifies wiring, and color-coded terminal blocks enhance safety during maintenance. The RS485 port enables remote configuration and diagnostics via GE Proficy software, while LED indicators provide real-time status feedback .

Cost-Effective Scalability: Compatible with Series 90-30 baseplates and CPUs (e.g., IC693CPU374), the IC693PWR331 allows seamless expansion of control systems. Its single-group 30W configuration reduces component costs compared to multi-module solutions .

Application Areas

Industrial Automation: Powers PLC logic circuits, I/O modules, and relay-based actuators in manufacturing lines, ensuring stable operation for robotics, conveyor systems, and pneumatic controls.

Process Industries: Supports 24V DC input sensors (e.g., level switches, temperature probes) and relay outputs (e.g., valve solenoids) in pharmaceutical and food processing plants, adhering to hygiene and safety standards.

Power Generation: Provides redundant power for turbine control systems and breaker coils in thermal and renewable energy plants, ensuring continuous operation under high voltage.

Hazardous Environments: While not Class 1 Div 2 certified, the IC693PWR331 is often paired with certified I/O modules (e.g., IC693MDL940L) to form complete control systems for oil/gas and chemical applications .

Installation and Maintenance

Installation Steps:

Hardware Setup: Install the module in the leftmost slot of a Series 90-30 baseplate and secure it with the module clamp. Connect the 2–30V DC input to the top two terminals and ground to the third terminal. Use the bottom terminals for isolated +24V DC connections .
Software Configuration: Use GE Proficy Machine Edition to verify power supply status via the RS485 port. Configure output voltage limits (if needed) and ensure proper addressing .
Safety Checks: Power on the system and confirm LEDs reflect input/output states. Test signal integrity by simulating PLC logic and monitoring voltage stability .

Maintenance Recommendations:

Routine Inspections: Monthly checks include visual inspection of LEDs, cleaning dust, and tightening terminals to 0.3–0.5 N·m torque.
Advanced Maintenance: Annually, use GE diagnostic software to review error logs and replace faulty cables. Avoid placing heat-generating devices adjacent to the IC693PWR331 .
Battery Replacement: The BATT LED indicates the charge status of the backup battery. Replace the battery every 3–5 years to retain PLC memory .
