The code GE IC698PSA350 refers to a Power Supply Module manufactured by GE Fanuc (now GE Automation) for their PACSystems RX7i series programmable automation controllers (PACs). Here’s a breakdown of the information and its function within the RX7i system:
Function:
- Provides stable and reliable DC power for the RX7i PAC system and its connected modules.
- Converts incoming AC mains power (typically 85-264VAC) to multiple DC voltage levels required for various components within the PAC chassis.
- Offers features like overcurrent and overvoltage protection to safeguard the PAC system from electrical faults.
- May also send logic-level sequencing signals to modules on the backplane to coordinate system operation (depending on the specific variant).
Applications:
The GE IC698PSA350 power supply module is crucial for powering the GE Fanuc RX7i PAC system, used for various industrial automation and control applications, including:
- Machine Control: Providing power for the RX7i PAC that controls factory machinery, robots, and assembly lines.
- Process Control: Supplying power for the PAC system that manages and optimizes industrial processes in industries like chemical processing, oil and gas, and food and beverage production.
- Data Acquisition Systems: Powering the RX7i PAC used for collecting and logging sensor data in industrial environments.
- Building Automation (Limited): In some cases, RX7i PACs might be used for building automation tasks like HVAC control, and the IC698PSA350 would supply power for the PAC unit.
