Functional Description

IC693ACC302 is an Auxiliary Battery Module developed by GE. It is designed for extended memory backup in GE Fanuc Series 90-30, Series 90-70, and PACSystems CPUs. This high-capacity module provides a significant increase in RAM memory backup time compared to standard batteries. It offers up to 75 months of backup time for most CPUs, while the CPU374 has a backup time of up to 15 months. The module features a 15 Amp-hour capacity and operates at 3 Volts, ensuring reliable performance in critical applications.

Features

  • If the fuse appears to be open, it is essential to turn off the PLC power, unplug the battery, and check the connector pins with a volt meter to determine if there is power. If no voltage is present, the fuse is likely to open, and the unit will need to be replaced. Maintenance and testing should be performed by qualified personnel to ensure safety and proper functionality.
  • The date code located on the front of the module, helps identify the manufacturing date. It consists of three digits- the first indicates the year, and the last two denote the fiscal week. For example, a code of 315"means the module was made in fiscal week 15 of 2003. Given its shelf life of about seven years, any battery packs that have been stored for a long time should be disposed of properly.
  • At the end of its lifecycle, must be disposed of following the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) guidelines included with the product. Proper disposal is crucial to prevent environmental harm and ensure compliance with safety regulations.

Installation

Step 1: Prepare the Installation Site

Before beginning the installation of the Auxiliary Battery Module, it is crucial to ensure that all power is completely removed from the equipment. This step is essential for safety, as it helps prevent electrical shock and potential damage to the system during installation. Once power is disconnected, proceed to drill four holes using a #29 drill bit (0.136 inches in diameter), following the specified hole pattern. The measurements for hole placement are critical: they should be spaced 5.253 inches (133.43 mm) apart and 1.746 inches (44.35 mm) apart vertically. Take care to avoid allowing any metal chips from drilling to fall into other equipment components, as this could cause malfunctions or long-term damage.

Step 2: Secure the Auxiliary Battery Module

After preparing the installation site, the next step is to securely attach the Auxiliary Battery Module to the mounting surface. Use four #8-32 x ½ inch flat head machine screws to fasten the module firmly in place. Ensuring that the module is well-secured is vital, as movement or vibration could disrupt electrical connections and affect the performance of the module. A stable installation will help maintain operational integrity and prolong the life of the equipment.

Step 3: Connect the Battery Module to the PLC

Once the module is mounted securely, you can proceed to connect it to the Programmable Logic Controller (PLC). For IC693 systems, locate the battery connector on the power supply module within the CPU baseplate, and route the cable through the small slot at the bottom of the battery compartment. For IC697 systems, the connector is located on the CPU module; thus, you should route the cable out the bottom of this module. It’s essential to ensure that the battery cable is not pinched or crimped when closing the battery compartment cover for IC693 systems or the CPU module cover for IC697 systems. Any pinching of the cable can lead to damage or impaired functionality, which could affect overall system performance.

Final Considerations

After completing the installation, conduct a thorough inspection to ensure all connections are secure and that there are no visible damages to the cable or connectors. Check for any loose screws or components that may impact performance. Once the inspection is complete, restore power to the equipment and conduct functional tests to verify the correct operation of the Auxiliary Battery Module within the system. Monitoring the system for any irregularities during operation is crucial for identifying potential issues early. Finally, document the entire installation process, including any observations or challenges faced, as this information can be invaluable for future maintenance and troubleshooting efforts. Proper installation and careful monitoring will maximize the efficiency and longevity of the Auxiliary Battery Module and enhance the overall functionality of the equipment.
