The GE IC698PSD300 is a 300-watt DC power supply module designed for the PACSystems RX7i series of Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), now a part of Emerson Automation. Its main function is to provide the necessary power to the RX7i backplane and all the modules installed in it.
Key Features and Specifications
- High Power Output: The module provides a maximum output of 300 watts to power the RX7i’s CPU and I/O modules. This makes it a high-capacity option for systems with a large number of modules or those with high power demands.
- Input Voltage: It is designed to accept a nominal 24 VDC input, with an operating range from 18 to 30 VDC. This makes it suitable for systems powered by batteries or other DC power sources common in industrial settings.
- Forced Air Cooling: Due to its high power output, the IC698PSD300 requires forced air cooling to operate at its full capacity. This is typically provided by a fan tray mounted on the bottom of the RX7i rack. The module includes an airflow sensor that will shut down the power supply and turn on an over-temperature LED if it detects a fan failure or blockage.
- Protection and Diagnostics: The module has built-in protection against over-voltage, over-current, and over-temperature fault conditions. It also has status LEDs on the front panel to indicate the operational status of the power supply and its outputs.
- Slot Placement: This power supply module occupies a single slot and must be installed in the first slot (slot 0) of the RX7i backplane.
- Hot Swap Capability: The module is hot-swappable, meaning it can be replaced while the system is powered on, which minimizes downtime during maintenance.
