Product Overview
When your Series 90-30 PLC rack demands higher +5 VDC current, the GE Fanuc IC693PWR330 high-capacity power supply delivers a cost-effective solution. This module supports up to 30 watts of total load capacity, with the unique ability to allocate all 30 watts to the +5 VDC output. By concentrating power where it is needed most, it reduces the need for additional power modules, lowering overall system cost and simplifying installation.
Technical Specifications Breakdown
The IC693PWR330 accepts a wide input voltage range: 85 to 264 VAC or 100 to 300 VDC, making it adaptable to global power standards without extra transformers. This flexibility minimizes inventory costs and simplifies global deployments. Its input power is 90 VA with AC input and 50 W with DC input, ensuring efficient energy use. The inrush current is limited to 4A peak for 250 milliseconds maximum, protecting upstream breakers and reducing nuisance trips.
Output power is distributed across three rails: +5 VDC delivers up to 30 watts, +24 VDC Relay supplies 15 watts maximum, and +24 VDC Isolated provides 20 watts maximum. This configuration supports relay output modules and 24 VDC input cards directly, eliminating the need for separate power supplies and reducing wiring costs. The holdup time of 20 milliseconds minimum ensures ride-through during brief power interruptions, preventing costly downtime.
Industry Applications
In large-scale manufacturing lines, the IC693PWR330 powers extensive I/O racks where +5 VDC demand is high. By consolidating power delivery, it reduces the number of power supplies required, cutting both capital expenditure and maintenance overhead. For process control systems that require 24 VDC for field sensors, the isolated 24 VDC output provides clean power, improving measurement accuracy and reducing signal noise-related rework costs.
Installation & Setup Guidance
Install the IC693PWR330 only in the leftmost slot of the Series 90-30 rack. For AC connections, use the top three terminals for line (L1), neutral (L2), and ground. For DC connections, use the top two terminals for positive and negative wires, observing polarity sensitivity. The module has six connection terminals total. Proper installation ensures reliable power distribution and avoids costly wiring errors.
Maintenance & Reliability
The IC693PWR330 includes LED indicators for PWR, OK, RUN, and BATT status, enabling quick visual checks. Periodic inspection of these LEDs and verification of output voltages within specified ranges (5.0 to 5.2 VDC for +5 VDC, 24 to 28 VDC for relay, 21.5 to 28 VDC for isolated) can prevent unexpected failures. The protective limit for overvoltage and overcurrent on the 5 VDC output adds a layer of safety, reducing the risk of damage to downstream modules and avoiding expensive repairs.
Compatibility & Integration
This power supply integrates seamlessly with the GE Fanuc Series 90-30 PLC platform. It features an embedded RS485 communication port for connection to a desktop, laptop, or GE Fanuc Hand-Held programmer. This serial interface enables remote monitoring and configuration, reducing on-site troubleshooting time and travel costs.
