Functional Description

IC693ACC302B is an auxiliary battery module developed by GE. It is part of the Mark I and II control system. The Auxiliary Battery Module is a component designed to extend the memory backup time for various GE control systems, including the Series 90-30, Series 90-70, and PACSystems CPUs. This auxiliary battery replaces the standard CPU RAM backup battery, significantly enhancing the duration for which memory can be retained without external power.

Features

  • Extended Memory Backup: The auxiliary battery provides a substantial extension of memory backup time. For most supported units, it extends the RAM backup time to up to 75 months. For the CPU374, it extends the backup time to 15 months.
  • Compatibility: This auxiliary battery module is compatible with several GE control systems, including Series 90-30, Series 90-70, and PACSystems CPUs.
  • Replacement for Standard Batteries: The auxiliary battery module is designed to replace the standard CPU RAM backup battery, providing a longer-lasting power source for memory retention.
  • User Service Restrictions: This unit should not be serviced by the user. Maintenance or testing should be conducted by a trained professional with competence in electrical safety practices.
  • End-of-Life Disposal: At the end of its life, ensure the battery pack is disposed of safely. Follow the guidelines provided in the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) included with the product.

Internal Fuse Protection

  • The auxiliary battery module contains a 1-Amp fuse sealed inside the battery pack. This fuse will open in the event of a short-circuit or severe overload.
  • Testing the Fuse, If you suspect the fuse has opened, follow these steps to test the unit:
    • Turn off the PLC power.
    • Unplug the battery.
    • Use a voltmeter to check the connector pins on the battery cable for any voltage.
    • If there is power, the fuse is not open. If there is no voltage, the fuse is likely to open, and the unit will need replacement.

Date Codes

  • Location: The date code is located on the front of the auxiliary battery module.
  • Format: The date code consists of three digits. The first digit represents the year of manufacture. The last two digits represent the fiscal week of manufacture.
  • Example: A date code of 315 indicates the battery was manufactured in the 15th fiscal week of 2003.
  • Shelf Life: These battery units have a shelf life of approximately seven years. Batteries that have been in storage for a long period should be disposed of properly.

Installation

  • Prepare the Mounting Surface
    • Ensure that power has been removed from the equipment before beginning the installation process to avoid electrical hazards.
    • Drill four #29 (0.136") holes in the mounting surface, following the hole pattern shown in the accompanying diagram. These holes will be used to secure the module in place.
    • Tap the holes for #8-32 threads. It is crucial to keep metal chips from falling into any other equipment during drilling, as these could cause damage or short circuits.
  • Dimensions for Mounting Holes:
    • Distance between holes: 5.253" (133.43 mm) x 1.746" (44.35 mm).
    • Thread size: #8-32 (four places).
  • Attach the Auxiliary Battery Module
    • Secure the Auxiliary Battery Module to the panel or mounting surface using four #8-32 x ½” flat head machine screws. Ensure the screws are tightened properly, but be cautious not to overtighten, as this could damage the module or mounting surface.
  • Connect the Battery Module to the PLC
    • For proper memory backup and to avoid data loss, refer to the IC693 or IC697 installation manual for specific guidance on battery replacement procedures and how to avoid memory loss during this process.
    • Connect the cable from the auxiliary battery module to the battery connector on the PLC.
      • For IC693 systems: The battery connector is located on the power supply module in the CPU baseplate. The cable must be routed through the small slot at the bottom of the battery compartment.
      • For IC697 systems: The battery connector is located on the CPU module. The cable should be routed out through the bottom of the CPU module.

Important Note: When closing the battery compartment cover (for IC693 systems) or the CPU module cover (for IC697 systems), ensure that the battery cable is not pinched. A pinched cable could result in a loss of connection, affecting the performance and reliability of the backup battery.

Maintenance and Testing

  • Any maintenance or testing of the Auxiliary Battery Module should be carried out only by qualified personnel trained in electrical safety practices and procedures. It is essential to follow all safety protocols to avoid potential injury or damage to equipment when working with electrical components. This unit is not user-serviceable, and in the case of a malfunction or fuse failure, the entire unit must be replaced, as it cannot be repaired.
  • Equipped with a built-in 1-Amp fuse, which serves as a protective feature in the event of a short-circuit or severe overload condition. This fuse is designed to protect the module and other connected components from damage. The fuse is sealed within the battery pack and cannot be replaced. If the fuse is blown, the entire battery module needs to be replaced.
  • If you suspect the fuse has blown and the battery module is malfunctioning, follow these steps to test the unit. First, ensure that the PLC power is completely turned off to prevent electrical hazards. Once power is off, unplug the battery unit from the system. Using a voltmeter, check the battery cable connector pins for the presence of voltage. If voltage is detected, it indicates that the fuse is intact, and the module is working correctly. If no voltage is present, the fuse is likely blown, and the unit will need to be replaced.
  • To avoid loss of PLC memory during maintenance or battery replacement, refer to the IC693 or IC697 installation manual. These manuals provide specific instructions on safeguarding memory contents while replacing or testing the backup battery. Following these guidelines ensures that critical program and configuration data are preserved during the process, preventing data loss and ensuring system integrity.
  • By adhering to these procedures, you can ensure the proper operation of the Auxiliary Battery Module and maintain uninterrupted backup power for your PLC system. If the fuse is found to be blown, replacing the entire module is necessary to restore the system's functionality.
