GE IC698PSA350D
This is a highly specialized industrial component, specifically a Power Supply Module from GE’s flagship PACSystems RX3i programmable automation controller (PAC) series.
1. Primary Function and Role
The IC698PSA350D is a 350-Watt, 24V DC Input Power Supply for a RX3i rack. Its core job is to convert the incoming main power (in this case, 24V DC) into the clean, stable, and regulated low-voltage DC power required by all the other modules (CPUs, I/O modules, communication modules) installed in the RX3i rack.
Think of it as the “heart” of the PLC system, providing the necessary “blood flow” (electrical power) for all the other “organs” (modules) to function.
2. Key Specifications
- Manufacturer: GE Intelligent Platforms (now part of Emerson)
- Product Line: PACSystems RX3i
- Type: Power Supply Module (PSU)
- Input Voltage: 24V DC (Nominal). It can typically operate within a range, e.g., 19.2V to 31.2V DC.
- Output Power: 350 Watts
- Output Voltages: It provides three separate output voltages on the backplane:
- +3.3V DC
- +5.1V DC
- ±12V DC (or +24V for certain applications)
- Mounting: Plugs into the left-most slot (Slot 0) of an RX3i Universal Backplane (e.g., IC698CHS0xx series). A RX3i system cannot operate without a power supply in Slot 0.
3. Important Features
- Hot-Swappable: This is a critical feature for high-availability systems. It means you can remove and replace the power supply while the rest of the system is still running (if you have a redundant system, see below). This allows for maintenance and replacement without shutting down the entire industrial process.
- Redundancy Support: You can configure two IC698PSA350D power supplies in a redundant pair. In this setup, both power supplies share the load. If one fails, the other immediately takes over the entire load without any interruption to the control system, maximizing uptime.
- Status Indicators: The module has LED indicators (typically for POWER OK, FAULT, and, in redundant systems, MASTER/STANDY status) to provide immediate visual health status.
- Diagnostics: It communicates its status and any fault conditions (e.g., over-temperature, loss of input power, output failure) to the RX3i CPU, which can be read by the control program and used to trigger alarms for operators.
4. Typical Applications
The RX3i platform is used in demanding and critical industrial automation applications across various sectors:
- Manufacturing & Assembly Lines
- Water/Wastewater Treatment Plants
- Oil & Gas Systems
- Power Generation and Distribution
- Transportation Systems
Any application that requires a robust, reliable, and high-performance control system might use an RX3i with this power supply.
