Product Overview

The GE Fanuc IC694PWR330 provides robust, high-capacity power for PACSystems RX3i remote and expansion bases. This module converts a wide range of input voltages—including 120/240 VAC or 125 VDC—into the regulated DC power required for remote I/O modules. We supply this unit in New & Original Factory Packing, ensuring your distributed I/O architecture receives clean, isolated power to maintain deterministic control across your entire plant network.

Technical Specifications

Engineering Advantages

• High-Capacity Remote Distribution: The IC694PWR330 delivers a substantial 30-watt load capacity, specifically engineered to power high-density I/O configurations in remote expansion bases. It provides the necessary current for multiple analog and discrete modules without requiring local power injection.

• Universal Voltage Versatility: This module accepts a broad input spectrum, ranging from 85 to 264 VAC and 100 to 300 VDC. This flexibility allows engineers to standardize on a single power supply model across global sites, regardless of local grid standards or the presence of DC battery backup systems.

• Enhanced System Isolation: Featuring a 1500 VAC isolation barrier, the IC694PWR330 protects the sensitive backplane logic from field-side electrical noise and high-voltage transients. This hardware-level protection prevents catastrophic failure propagation across the RX3i network.

• Superior Power Ride-Through: An integrated 20 ms hold-up time enables the controller to ride through brief power dips and voltage sags. This ensures the system maintains state and prevents nuisance trips during minor grid fluctuations or large motor start-ups.

• Intelligent Diagnostic Monitoring: Front-panel LED indicators (PWR, OK, RUN) provide immediate visual verification of power health and module status. Furthermore, integrated overvoltage and overcurrent protection circuits automatically safeguard the module and the connected backplane from electrical faults.

FAQs

• Can the IC694PWR330 be used in the main CPU rack?

  No. The IC694PWR330 is designed specifically for Remote and Expansion Bases. Main racks containing the CPU require the IC695 series power supplies to support the PCI bus architecture.

• Does this module provide power for field devices?

  The module provides an isolated 24 VDC output (up to 20W) which you can use to power certain field circuits. However, its primary function is to energize the RX3i backplane and the internal circuitry of the I/O modules.

• What mounting torque is required for the terminal block?

  To ensure a secure electrical connection and prevent arcing in high-vibration environments, tighten the terminal screws to the factory-recommended 1.3 N-m torque rating.

• Why is "New & Original" condition critical for power modules?

  Power supplies contain electrolytic capacitors that dry out and degrade over time, especially when exposed to heat. Used or refurbished units often fail prematurely due to component aging. A 100% Brand New IC694PWR330 guarantees fresh capacitors and pristine protection circuitry, providing the full 12-month factory warranty and maximum system uptime.
