What Is the IC695PSD040?
When your PACSystem RX3i backplane demands stable, cost-effective power, the GE IC695PSD040 power supply module delivers. This module, part of the PACSystem RX3i series by Emerson Automation (formerly GE Intelligent Platforms), provides up to 40 Watts of output power. It mounts directly to an RX3i universal backplane in Slot 0. The IC695PSD040 accepts an input voltage range of 18 to 30 VDC for module start and 12 to 30 VDC for module run, with a maximum input power of 60 Watts at full load. This design ensures efficient energy use, reducing operational costs over time.
Technical Specifications Breakdown
Understanding key specs helps you maximize ROI. The IC695PSD040 offers three outputs: 5.1 VDC (0 to 6 Amps) and 3.3 VDC (0 to 9 Amps), plus a 24 VDC output for relay output modules. The 5.1 VDC output ranges from 5.0 to 5.2 VDC, while the 3.3 VDC output ranges from 3.1 to 3.5 VDC. Total output power is 40 Watts maximum, with each output limited to 30 Watts maximum. This modular power distribution prevents overloading, extending system life. The 10 ms ride-through time maintains output during brief input fluctuations, minimizing downtime. Four LED indicators (Power, P/S Fault, Overtemperature, Overload) provide immediate status feedback, reducing diagnostic time.
Industry Applications
In manufacturing plants, the IC695PSD040 powers critical control systems. For example, in a packaging line, it supplies stable 5.1 VDC and 3.3 VDC to RX3i modules, ensuring consistent operation. The 24 VDC output energizes relay output modules, simplifying wiring and reducing material costs. In process control, the 10 ms ride-through time prevents data loss during power dips, saving thousands in potential rework. By using the IC695PSD040, facilities avoid costly redundant power supplies, as this module does not support redundancy—a design choice that lowers initial investment.
Installation & Setup Guidance
Mount the IC695PSD040 to an RX3i universal backplane in Slot 0. Use 14 AWG to 18 AWG wire for terminals. The module includes an on/off switch for easy power cycling. Only one unit is needed per backplane; daisy-chaining up to two IC695PSD040 units is supported but does not increase output capacity. If rack power demand exceeds 40 Watts, install additional modules on a separate backplane. This straightforward setup reduces labor costs and installation time.
Maintenance & Reliability
Regularly inspect the four LED indicators for faults. The P/S Fault, Overtemperature, and Overload LEDs alert you to issues before they cause downtime. The module's 4 Amps inrush current (100 ms maximum) is designed for stable startup, reducing stress on connected components. With no isolation and no redundancy support, the IC695PSD040 focuses on reliable single-unit operation, lowering maintenance overhead.
Compatibility & Integration
The IC695PSD040 integrates exclusively with the PACSystem RX3i universal backplane. It is not compatible with redundant power supply assemblies or increased capacity modes. This focused compatibility ensures seamless integration, eliminating compatibility testing costs. The module supports daisy-chaining of two units for load sharing, but not capacity increase.
Buying Guide & Purchasing Advice
Before purchasing, verify your backplane's power requirements. The IC695PSD040 delivers 40 Watts total; if your system exceeds this, plan for additional backplanes. SpareTechPLC offers this module with verified stock and fast shipping. Contact us to confirm lifecycle status and availability.
