GE Fanuc IC698PSA350 PACSystems RX7i Series Power Supply Module

Product Overview

The GE Fanuc IC698PSA350 delivers high-wattage electrical distribution for the PACSystems RX7i control platform. This 350-Watt power supply module converts universal AC input into the stabilized DC voltages necessary to drive high-performance RX7i CPUs and expansive VME-based I/O racks. It occupies a dedicated slot in the RX7i rack, providing the current density required for large-scale automation architectures. We offer this unit in 100% Brand New condition, ensuring that your mission-critical system operates with its original factory-rated efficiency and voltage stability.

Technical Specifications

Engineering Advantages

• Universal Voltage Compatibility: The wide input range (85-264 VAC) allows the IC698PSA350 to operate globally without manual jumper settings. This flexibility simplifies spare parts management for international facilities and accommodates fluctuating local grid conditions.

• High-Density Power Output: With a 350W capacity, this module supports fully populated RX7i racks, including high-consumption communication coprocessors and specialized VME cards. It provides ample headroom, preventing voltage drops during peak system demand.

• Advanced Thermal Dissipation: The rugged chassis design facilitates heat transfer away from the internal power transistors. This cooling efficiency maintains a stable output even in high-density cabinet layouts where heat buildup typically compromises electronic lifespan.

• Seamless RX7i Integration: Direct backplane coupling minimizes noise and impedance. The module communicates status directly to the RX7i CPU, allowing the control logic to monitor power health and trigger controlled shutdowns in the event of an incoming utility failure.

FAQs

• Can I use the IC698PSA350 in a Series 90-70 rack? While the RX7i and Series 90-70 share certain physical traits, the IC698PSA350 is specifically keyed and electronically optimized for the PACSystems RX7i backplane. Always verify your rack series before installation.

• Does this module support redundant configurations? The RX7i system supports redundant power supply configurations when used with a compatible dual-supply backplate. Integrating two IC698PSA350 modules ensures that the PLC logic remains active if one primary power source or module fails.

• What maintenance does this power supply require? The IC698PSA350 requires no scheduled internal maintenance. However, we recommend checking the rack's ventilation filters periodically to ensure adequate airflow, as excessive dust buildup can impede the module’s thermal performance.

• Is this a "New-Old-Stock" or a refurbished unit? We provide this IC698PSA350 as 100% Brand New original equipment. Unlike refurbished units that may have aged capacitors, our new units guarantee the full 21ms (minimum) holdup time and original dielectric strength for maximum system protection.
