IC697PWR710 | GE Fanuc Series 90-70 AC/DC Input Power Supply 55W

System Performance and Utility

The IC697PWR710 is a high-performance power conversion module engineered for the GE Fanuc Series 90-70 rack-based PLC system. Occupying the dedicated leftmost slot of the backplane, this module provides the regulated DC voltages necessary to power the CPU, communication interfaces, and I/O modules. The IC697PWR710 (Part Number: IC697PWR710) is designed with industrial-grade resilience, featuring a wide-range input capability that accommodates both alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC) sources, ensuring stable operation across varying power infrastructures.

Detailed Technical Specifications

The following data highlights the electrical and protective capabilities of the IC697PWR710:

• Input Voltage Compatibility: 90–264 VAC (47–63 Hz) or 100–150 VDC

• Output Rating: 5 VDC at 11 Amps (Total power output: 56 Watts)

• Output Voltage Range: 4.90 VDC to 5.25 VDC

• Inrush Current: 3 Amps typical at peak half-cycle

• Power Factor Correction: Greater than 0.95

• Holdup Time: 21 milliseconds minimum ride-through upon input loss

• Bus Support: Fully compatible with VME standard C.1 specifications

• Protection Circuitry: Electronic overvoltage (6.2V typical) and overcurrent (12A typical)

• Expansion Connection: Compatible with IC697CBL700 or IC697CBL713 cables for multi-rack power distribution

Installation and Operational Safety

The IC697PWR710 is built to maintain system integrity during transient power fluctuations. Its 21ms ride-through time allows for a controlled system response during brief voltage sags. For safety and equipment protection, the module incorporates internal fusing and electronic current limiting to prevent damage from downstream short circuits or thermal overloads. Integration is streamlined by its plug-and-play VME interface, which ensures reliable energy transfer across the system backplane without requiring manual voltage adjustments.

Connectivity and Compatibility

While often utilized as a standalone supply for a single rack, the IC697PWR710 can participate in extended power configurations using specialized expansion cables. This flexibility makes it a cornerstone component for Series 90-70 assemblies in demanding sectors such as heavy manufacturing and infrastructure control.
