Description
GE IC697ACC729 is a high-reliability Genius Rack Fan Assembly designed for GE Fanuc Series 90-70 PLC systems, providing critical thermal management in industrial automation environments. As an essential accessory for maintaining optimal system performance, the IC697ACC729 ensures consistent airflow to prevent overheating in control cabinets, safeguarding rack-mounted modules such as CPUs, I/O cards, and power supplies. Its compact design and plug-and-play installation make it ideal for retrofitting existing systems or integrating into new builds, while its rugged construction withstands harsh industrial conditions.
The IC697ACC729 features dual high-efficiency fans with ball bearings for low noise and extended operational life. These fans are wired in parallel and can be powered by the same source as the PLC, ensuring synchronized operation and simplified cabling. The assembly includes a polyurethane foam filter (30 PPI) to protect against dust ingress, with a retainer guard for easy maintenance. Designed for flexibility, the module supports multiple rack configurations, including standard 9-slot and VME integrator 17-slot racks, making it compatible with a wide range of Series 90-70 systems.
