Product Introduction
The GE IC693PWR321 Standard Power Supply is a key component of the GE Fanuc Series 90-30 PLC platform. With a power rating of 30 watts, it provides reliable power distribution for industrial automation systems. This module supports both AC (85-264 VAC) and DC (100-300 VDC) inputs, making it versatile for various plant environments.
Technical Specifications Breakdown
Based on the manufacturer's data, the IC693PWR321 delivers three output circuits: 5 VDC (15W max), 24 VDC Relay (15W max), and 24 VDC Isolated (20W max). It features an inrush current of 4 A peak for 250 ms maximum. Input power requirement is 90 VA for AC and 50 W for DC. The holdup time is 20 ms minimum. Communication is via an RS-485 serial port with a 9-pin sub-D connector. The unit fits into the leftmost slot of the baseplate.
Industry Applications
The IC693PWR321 is commonly used in manufacturing lines, process control, and material handling systems where Series 90-30 PLCs are deployed. Its dual voltage input capability ensures stable operation even with fluctuating power sources. For example, in a conveyor control system, the power supply maintains consistent 5 VDC logic voltage and 24 VDC for relay outputs, reducing downtime.
Installation & Setup Guidance
Install the GE IC693PWR321 in the leftmost slot of the baseplate. Ensure input voltage is within 85-264 VAC or 100-300 VDC. Connect the input terminals according to the wiring diagram. The internal fuse (GE part 44A724627-109) can be replaced with Bussman 215-002 or Littlefuse 239-002. The RS-485 port connects to a CPU or peripheral device. For systems requiring external power, use the isolated 24 VDC output.
Selection Guide & Purchasing Advice
When selecting the IC693PWR321, verify compatibility with your Series 90-30 CPU model. Although discontinued, UBEST Automation offers genuine New Surplus or Refurbished units. Check inventory for revisions with enhanced diagnostics features. For applications needing continuous operation, consider spare units to minimize downtime.
