PRODUCT INFORMATION
Product Overview
The General Electric IC693PWR331 is a high-capacity Power Supply designed for Series 90-30 programmable logic controllers. It delivers three distinct DC voltage outputs to power internal chassis modules and field circuits. The unit provides a primary +5 VDC output supplying up to 30 Watts of power. A +24 VDC relay output provides up to 15 Watts for output relay modules. An isolated +24 VDC output supplies up to 20 Watts for input modules and external loops. Total combined output power capacity must not exceed 30 Watts across all outputs.
This module operates on a nominal DC input of 24 VDC or 48 VDC. The operational input range spans from 18 to 56 VDC during active run mode. It mounts directly into the leftmost dedicated slot of a Series 90-30 baseplate. An integrated front RS-485 communication port connects to programming computers or hand-held programmer units. The front panel also houses a battery that maintains volatile controller memory during utility power loss. Four status LEDs provide real-time diagnostic reporting for power, operation, and battery charge level.
