Product Introduction
The GE IC695PSD040 is a power supply module designed for the PACSystem RX3i platform, now managed by Emerson Automation (formerly GE Intelligent Platforms). This module mounts directly to an RX3i universal backplane and delivers reliable power to the system. With an input voltage range of 18–30 VDC for start and 12–30 VDC for run, it handles demanding industrial environments. The IC695PSD040 provides up to 40 Watts of output power, ensuring stable operation for connected modules.
Technical Specifications Breakdown
Key specifications from the product datasheet include:
-
Input Voltage: 18–30 VDC (Start); 12–30 VDC (Run)
-
Maximum Input Power: 60 Watts
-

These specs ensure the GE IC695PSD040 can reliably power an RX3i backplane, with built-in diagnostic LEDs to quickly identify faults.
Industry Applications
The IC695PSD040 is widely used in manufacturing automation, process control, and discrete manufacturing. For example, in a packaging line, this power supply module supports PLC racks controlling conveyors and sensors. Its 24 VDC output can energize relay output modules, simplifying wiring. The ride-through time of 10 ms prevents system resets during minor voltage dips, reducing downtime. Applications requiring high reliability benefit from the overtemperature and overload indicators, allowing proactive maintenance.
Installation & Setup Guidance
Install the GE IC695PSD040 into Slot 0 of the RX3i universal backplane. Only one module per backplane is allowed. Use 14 AWG to 18 AWG wire for terminal connections. The front panel includes an On/Off switch. Up to two IC695PSD040 units can be daisy-chained, but this does not increase output capacity. Ensure total power demand does not exceed the module's 40W limit; otherwise, distribute loads across separate backplanes. Note: Power supply redundancy and increased capacity modes are not supported.
Maintenance & Troubleshooting
Regularly inspect LED indicators: green Power LED confirms operation; red P/S Fault signals internal issues. Overtemperature LED warns of excessive heat – improve ventilation or reduce load. Overload LED indicates current exceeds 6A on the 5.1 VDC rail or 9A on the 3.3 VDC rail. If the system drops out, verify input voltage remains above 18 VDC for start or 12 VDC for run. The 10 ms ride-through time helps ride out minor dips, but prolonged loss requires input power restoration. Replace module if indicators show persistent faults.
Selection Guide & Purchasing Advice
When sourcing the IC695PSD040, verify compatibility with your RX3i backplane and existing modules. Ensure your application's total power draw stays within 40W.
