Functional Description
IC697PWR710 is a redundant communications module developed by GE Fanuc. This Power Supply Module is designed to provide reliable power for programmable controllers. It is a rack-mounted unit that connects directly to a 48-pin backplane-mounted connector in the leftmost slot of the rack, ensuring stable power distribution across the system. The power supply is capable of delivering both +5 volts and logic-level sequencing signals to the backplane, essential for seamless operation of various modules within the programmable controller system.
Features
- This power supply operates from 120/240 VAC or 125 VDC, accommodating diverse power sources and allowing for flexibility in different industrial settings.
- Provides a 5-volt DC output with a current capacity of up to 11 amps, making it suitable for powering multiple modules within a single or dual-rack configuration.
- The module’s slide-in rack mount design makes installation straightforward. It allows the unit to be easily inserted into the rack, reducing downtime and simplifying upgrades or replacements.
- Equipped with electronic short-circuit overcurrent protection on the 5-volt bus, this power supply prevents damage to the controller and connected modules during fault conditions. Additionally, overvoltage protection safeguards the system in the event of unexpected voltage spikes.
- The power supply can handle two racks with a single unit, as long as the combined load remains within its output rating. Power can be extended to the second rack using a prewired interconnection cable (available separately). This feature reduces the need for additional power supplies, optimizing space and cost.
- For AC inputs, the module includes power factor correction (PFC), which improves energy efficiency by reducing the reactive power component of the current. PFC minimizes energy waste and ensures consistent performance.
- This power supply module can ride through a one-cycle total loss of input power at full load, ensuring uninterrupted operation during brief power disruptions and enhancing system reliability.
Applications of the Power Supply Module
- Single or Dual Rack Configurations: Ideal for programmable controller systems that require a stable and continuous power supply across one or two racks.
- Industrial Automation Systems: Provides reliable power in environments where consistent operation of controllers is critical, such as manufacturing and process control.
- High-Reliability Applications: Suitable for systems that need protection against power fluctuations and overcurrent conditions, ensuring minimal downtime and extended equipment life.
Operation of the Power Supply Module
- AC Input Operation: The module is compatible with 120 VAC or 240 VAC nominal line voltages, giving flexibility for a range of industrial environments. It can accept voltages from 90 to 264 VAC with a frequency range of 47 to 63 Hz, accommodating global power standards and providing stable operation in diverse conditions. This power supply features active power factor correction circuits, which maintain a unity power factor (close to 1.0). This PFC feature minimizes the need for oversized circuit breakers and thicker wiring, improving energy efficiency and reducing installation costs.
- DC Input Operation: For applications that require DC input, the module supports a 125 VDC nominal line. The power supply accepts a DC input range from 100 to 150 VDC, providing flexibility and ensuring smooth operation in environments that primarily use DC power sources.
Overvoltage Protection
- The power supply includes an electronic overvoltage protection circuit to prevent damage due to unexpected voltage spikes. This feature provides added safety by automatically clamping the output if the 5-volt bus voltage exceeds 6.2 volts, protecting connected equipment.
- External Overvoltage Handling: External overvoltage on the output will not cause the power supply’s fuse to open. This is beneficial because it prevents downtime due to fuse replacement when an external spike occurs.
Internal Overvoltage Faults: In cases where an internal fault within the power supply leads to an overvoltage condition, the fuse may open. In such events, the user should replace the fuse with a 1 amp, 250 volt, 5x20 mm fuse to restore functionality.
Overcurrent Protection
- Overcurrent Limit: The module is designed with a typical overcurrent limit of 12 amperes. If the current exceeds this threshold, the output voltage will drop, signaling a potential issue and protecting the system from overload conditions.
- Response to Overload: During an overload (or short circuit) condition, the module’s output voltage will remain reduced until the load is either removed or adjusted to an acceptable level. This behavior protects the power supply and connected components from continuous stress or damage due to excessive current draw.
- Fuse Integrity During Overload: An overload condition, including a short circuit, will not cause the fuse to blow, allowing the system to maintain functionality once the overload is resolved.
