GE IC697PWR710F

Product Introduction

The GE IC697PWR710F is an entry-level standard-capacity power supply module in GE’s Series 90-70 PLC family, designed to serve as the “cost-effective energy foundation” for small-to-medium industrial automation systems. Unlike mid-high capacity models (e.g., IC697PWR720 with 15 A output) or high-end IC697PWR748 (20 A), the GE IC697PWR710F delivers 10 A continuous current—ideal for powering 6-slot to 8-slot Series 90-70 chassis (e.g., IC697CHS730) with basic-to-mid modules: 1 × IC697CPU770 CPU, 2–3 × IC697ALG320 analog I/O modules, 1 × IC697BEM731U Ethernet module, and 1 × IC697DIA310 digital input module.

Technical positioning for industries like small chemical workshops, local water treatment stations, and low-volume electronic component assembly lines, the GE IC697PWR710F features a universal input (85–264 V AC/120–370 V DC) to adapt to global power grids and minor voltage fluctuations (e.g., brownouts in rural areas). It converts unstable line power into regulated 5 V DC, ensuring basic modules avoid crashes caused by underpower or voltage spikes. In automation architectures, the GE IC697PWR710F acts as a “budget-friendly power hub”—meeting the core needs of small systems without paying for unused high capacity (15 A/20 A)—making it the first choice for Series 90-70 deployments with limited budgets and moderate power demands.

Core Advantages and Technical Highlights

10 A Standard Capacity for Small-Mid Systems: The GE IC697PWR710F’s 10 A continuous output is perfectly matched to small chassis like the 6-slot IC697CHS730. For a local water treatment station using 1 × IC697CPU770 CPU, 2 × IC697ALG320 flow/turbidity modules, and 1 × IC697BEM731U communication module, this capacity eliminates the need for two low-power supplies (saving 1 chassis slot) while avoiding the premium cost of IC697PWR720—reducing total hardware costs by 30%.

Universal Input for Global Adaptability: With 85–264 V AC/120–370 V DC input, the GE IC697PWR710F works seamlessly in diverse regions—from 110 V AC (North American small factories) to 230 V AC (European workshops) or DC grids (remote solar-powered pump stations). A multinational electronic component manufacturer, for example, can standardize on GE IC697PWR710F across global low-volume lines, simplifying inventory management and reducing technician training costs.

Basic but Reliable Protection: The GE IC697PWR710F includes essential protection features: overload protection trips at 120% load (12 A) to prevent overheating, short-circuit crowbar protection instantly shuts down output if a wire is grounded, and 70°C over-temperature shutdown safeguards components. For a small plastic injection workshop using IC697ALG320 temperature modules, this protection prevents expensive I/O modules from being damaged by power anomalies—cutting replacement costs by 40% compared to unprotected generic supplies.

Easy Integration with Series 90-70 Ecosystem: The GE IC697PWR710F shares the same mounting interface and wiring standard as other Series 90-70 power supplies (e.g., IC697PWR720). Technicians familiar with Series 90-70 can install it in 5 minutes—no need to modify chassis or learn new wiring methods. It also supports N+1 redundancy with the IC697PWRRED adapter, allowing critical small systems (e.g., pharmaceutical small-batch lines) to upgrade to fault tolerance without replacing the power supply model.

Typical Application Scenarios

In small plastic injection workshops, the GE IC697PWR710F powers a 6-slot IC697CHS730 chassis housing 1 × IC697CPU770 CPU, 2 × IC697ALG320 barrel temperature modules, 1 × IC697DO310 digital output module (controlling injection valves), and 1 × IC697BEM731U Ethernet module (linking to a local HMI). Its 10 A capacity ensures stable power for all modules, while overload protection prevents shutdowns during valve startup—avoiding defective plastic parts and $5,000+ in daily production losses.

For local water treatment stations (serving 3,000–8,000 residents), the GE IC697PWR710F supplies power to an 8-slot IC697CHS750 chassis with 1 × IC697CPU770 CPU, 3 × IC697ALG320 (monitoring flow, turbidity, chlorine levels), 1 × IC697DIA310 (pump status), and 1 × IC697BEM731U (transmitting data to regional SCADA). Its universal input adapts to the station’s 230 V AC grid, while 4 kV surge protection shields against thunderstorm-induced grid spikes—ensuring uninterrupted water treatment and compliance with local environmental standards.

In low-volume electronic component assembly lines (e.g., PCB soldering), the GE IC697PWR710F powers a 6-slot IC697CHS730 chassis with 1 × IC697CPU770 CPU, 3 × IC697DIA310 (part presence, soldering machine status), 1 × IC697ALG320 (soldering temperature), and 1 × IC697BEM731U (quality log upload). Its 12 A peak current handles startup surges from soldering irons, while regulated 5 V DC ensures temperature modules maintain ±0.5°C accuracy—reducing PCB defect rates by 25%.

Installation, Commissioning and Maintenance Instructions

Installation preparation: Before installing GE IC697PWR710F, power off the Series 90-70 chassis (e.g., IC697CHS730) and verify input power matches the facility’s grid (85–264 V AC/120–370 V DC). Required tools include a torque screwdriver (0.8–1.2 N·m for chassis screws), wire strippers (18–14 AWG for input wires), a multimeter (to test input voltage), and an anti-static wristband (prevent ESD damage to modules). Ensure the chassis’s “PWR” slot is free of dust and debris.

Installation and maintenance: Align GE IC697PWR710F with the chassis’s power slot, push firmly until it latches, and secure with front-panel screws (torque to 1.0 N·m). Connect input wires: for AC, attach L (line), N (neutral), and GND (ground); for DC, attach + (positive) and – (negative). Tighten terminal screws to 0.5 N·m to avoid arcing. Daily maintenance involves checking the “PWR OK” LED (steady green = normal, red = fault). Every 6 months, use compressed air (≤50 psi) to clean dust from vents—accumulated dust reduces efficiency by 5–10%. If the red fault LED activates, first test input voltage with a multimeter; if voltage is normal, replace the module (ensure firmware matches the chassis).
