GE IC697PWR710H

Product Introduction

GE IC697PWR710H is a high-reliability power supply module engineered exclusively for GE’s 90-70 Series PLC systems, serving as the “stable power foundation” that delivers consistent, multi-voltage power to 90-70 CPUs, I/O modules, and communication devices. Unlike generic power supplies that lack 90-70 backplane integration and industrial ruggedness, GE IC697PWR710H features a wide input range (85–264V AC/100–300V DC), 70W continuous power output, and robust protection mechanisms—ensuring uninterrupted operation in harsh industrial environments (e.g., oil refineries, manufacturing plants, or remote monitoring stations).

As a critical infrastructure component of the 90-70 ecosystem, GE IC697PWR710H plays a vital role in automation reliability: its +5V DC output powers 90-70 CPUs (e.g., GE IC697CPU731) for control logic execution, while ±12V DC outputs support analog I/O modules (e.g., GE IC697VAL134) and serial communication modules (e.g., GE IC697CMM712). For example, in a remote oil pipeline monitoring system, GE IC697PWR710H powers a 90-70 CPU, 4 analog pressure sensors, and a serial communication module—its wide input range handles fluctuating grid voltages (common in remote areas), while thermal shutdown protection prevents damage during extreme temperature spikes.

Core Advantages and Technical Highlights

Wide Input Range for Global Compatibility: GE IC697PWR710H accepts 85–264V AC (47–63 Hz) or 100–300V DC input, eliminating the need for voltage selectors or regional variants. A multinational manufacturing plant using GE IC697PWR710H in 90-70 systems across facilities in the U.S. (120V AC), Germany (230V AC), and China (220V AC) avoided stocking three different power supplies—reducing inventory costs by 66% and simplifying global maintenance.

70W Continuous Power with Peak Capacity: The module’s 70W continuous power output (0–60°C) supports dense 90-70 configurations—e.g., a GE IC697CPU780 CPU, 6× GE IC697VAL134 analog modules, and 2× GE IC697CMM712 communication modules. Its 85W peak power handles startup currents of I/O modules, preventing voltage dips that could reset the CPU. A chemical plant using GE IC697PWR710H reported zero power-related CPU resets over 3 years, compared to 4–6 annual resets with lower-wattage supplies.

Rugged Protection Mechanisms: GE IC697PWR710H includes latching short-circuit protection (manual reset) and auto-recovery thermal shutdown—safeguarding 90-70 systems from catastrophic failures. During a wiring error at a food processing plant, a shorted GE IC697VAL134 module triggered the power supply’s short-circuit protection; the latching design prevented automatic restart (avoiding repeated damage), while the red fault LED quickly identified the issue. Technicians resolved the problem in 15 minutes, minimizing downtime.

High MTBF for Long-Term Reliability: With a MTBF of 500,000 hours (40°C ambient), GE IC697PWR710H outperforms standard industrial power supplies (MTBF ~200,000 hours). A wastewater treatment plant using GE IC697PWR710H in 90-70 systems for pump control experienced no power supply failures over 8 years—avoiding 12+ unplanned maintenance visits (each costing $1,200) and ensuring compliance with environmental monitoring requirements.

Typical Application Scenarios

GE IC697PWR710H excels in powering critical 90-70 systems across industries, with three high-impact use cases:

In oil & gas wellhead monitoring (remote sites), GE IC697PWR710H powers a 90-70 system with a GE IC697CPU731 CPU, 4× GE IC697VAL134 analog modules (monitoring pressure/temperature), and a GE IC697CMM712 serial module (transmitting data to a central SCADA). Its wide input range (100–300V DC) works with solar-charged batteries (common in remote wellheads), while thermal shutdown protection withstands 65°C summer temperatures. The module’s 500,000-hour MTBF ensures 5+ years of maintenance-free operation, critical for sites with limited access.

In automotive component manufacturing, GE IC697PWR710H supplies power to a 90-70 system controlling robotic welding arms: a GE IC697CPU780 CPU, 8× digital I/O modules (for weld trigger signals), and 2× motion control modules. Its 0.95 power factor correction reduces energy costs by 8% annually, while EMI/RFI shielding prevents interference from welding equipment (avoiding false I/O signals). During a 10ms input voltage dropout (common in factory grids), the module maintained output power—preventing a 2-hour production line shutdown.

In municipal water treatment, GE IC697PWR710H powers a 90-70 system with a GE IC697CPU731 CPU, 10× GE IC697VAL134 analog modules (monitoring pH/turbidity), and 4× digital output modules (controlling chemical dosing pumps). Its conformal coating resists humidity (90% RH) and chemical vapors, while overvoltage protection safeguards against power surges from the plant’s backup generator. The red fault LED alerted technicians to an overcurrent event (caused by a faulty pump), enabling a 30-minute repair before the issue affected water treatment quality.

Installation, Commissioning and Maintenance Instructions

Installation preparation: Before installing GE IC697PWR710H, confirm compatibility with the 90-70 chassis (e.g., GE IC697CHS020) and that Slot 0 is empty. Ensure the environment meets -20°C to +70°C and 5%–95% RH (non-condensing); avoid mounting near heat sources (e.g., high-power resistors) or EMI emitters (e.g., variable-speed drives). Required tools: Torque screwdriver (0.6–1.0 N·m), multimeter, and ESD-safe gloves. Safety precautions: Disconnect input power (AC/DC); apply lockout/tagout per site safety protocols to prevent electrical shock.

Slide GE IC697PWR710H into 90-70 Chassis Slot 0 until it engages the backplane, then secure with chassis screws (torque to 0.8 N·m). Connect input power: for AC, wire L/N/PE to the terminal block; for DC, wire +/–/PE (verify polarity to avoid damage). Power on the chassis; check LEDs: green for active outputs, no red fault LED. Use a multimeter to confirm output voltages (+5V ±0.1V, +12V ±0.2V, -12V ±0.2V).

Maintenance suggestions: For daily use, inspect GE IC697PWR710H’s LEDs—red LED indicates a fault (reset via manual switch for short-circuit protection). Every 6 months, clean the module with compressed air (remove dust from vents) and retighten input power connections (torque to 0.8 N·m). Annually, test protection features: simulate a short-circuit on the +5V output (ensure latching fault); verify thermal shutdown by heating the module to 75°C (ensure auto-recovery). Replace with GE-approved GE IC697PWR710H spares—third-party supplies may not match 90-70 backplane pinouts or protection levels.
