GE IC697PWR748

Product Introduction

The GE IC698ACC701 is a purpose-built terminal block kit for GE’s RX3i PLC chassis, designed to serve as the “wiring bridge” between RX3i chassis (such as the mid-density GE IC698CHS009) and external devices—including power supplies (e.g., IC695PWR120), sensors, and actuators. Unlike generic terminal blocks that require custom modification for RX3i compatibility, the GE IC698ACC701 features pre-aligned mounting points and terminal labeling tailored to RX3i chassis pinouts, eliminating guesswork during installation.

Technical positioning for industries relying on RX3i systems (e.g., regional chemical plants, automotive component workshops, mid-sized water treatment facilities), the GE IC698ACC701 ensures secure, low-resistance electrical connections—critical for maintaining the GE IC698CHS009 chassis’s 1 Gbps backplane performance and preventing voltage drops that could disrupt I/O modules (e.g., IC695ALG808-AA). In automation architectures, the GE IC698ACC701 acts as a “connection optimizer,” simplifying wiring for power distribution and signal grounding while ensuring compliance with industrial safety standards—reducing installation time by 40% compared to generic alternatives.

Core Advantages and Technical Highlights

RX3i Chassis Compatibility: The GE IC698ACC701 is engineered exclusively for RX3i mid/high-density chassis, including the GE IC698CHS009 and GE IC698CHS017B. Its dedicated mounting points align perfectly with chassis screw holes, eliminating the need for drilling or adapter plates. For a regional chemical plant using GE IC698CHS009, this means the GE IC698ACC701 can be installed in 5 minutes (vs. 20 minutes for generic blocks), with no risk of misalignment that could damage the chassis backplane.

Secure Screw-Clamp Terminals: Equipped with tin-plated copper screw-clamp terminals (torque range: 0.2–0.4 N·m), the GE IC698ACC701 ensures consistent contact pressure for 22–14 AWG wires—preventing loose connections that cause intermittent failures in critical systems. In an automotive component workshop, this reliability ensures the GE IC698CHS009’s I/O modules receive stable power from IC695PWR120, avoiding unexpected shutdowns of CNC machines.

Flame-Retardant, Corrosion-Resistant Materials: Constructed with UL 94 V-0 flame-retardant polyamide and tin-plated copper terminals, the GE IC698ACC701 withstands harsh industrial environments—including humid water treatment facilities and dusty machining shops. The tin plating resists corrosion from moisture or chemical vapors, extending the terminal block’s lifespan to 10+ years (vs. 5 years for unplated generic blocks).

Labeled Terminals for Error Prevention: The GE IC698ACC701 features clear, permanent labeling for power (e.g., “5V DC IN”) and ground (e.g., “SIGNAL GND”) terminals, matching RX3i chassis pinouts. This eliminates wiring errors—such as connecting power to signal pins—that could damage expensive modules like the GE IC698CPE020 CPU. For technicians new to RX3i systems, the labeling reduces training time and minimizes rework.

Typical Application Scenarios

In regional chemical plants using the GE IC698CHS009 chassis, the GE IC698ACC701 simplifies wiring between the chassis and a IC695PWR120 power supply. It routes 5V DC power to the chassis’s backplane via dedicated power terminals and provides a centralized ground point for 4 IC695ALG808-AA analog modules (monitoring reactor temperatures). The GE IC698ACC701’s flame-retardant design ensures compliance with plant safety standards, while its secure terminals prevent power interruptions that could ruin chemical batches.

For automotive component workshops with GE IC698CHS009, the GE IC698ACC701 connects the chassis to 8 discrete sensors (e.g., limit switches) and a GE IC698ETM001 Ethernet module. Its labeled terminals (e.g., “SENSOR 1 IN,” “ETH MODULE GND”) streamline wiring, allowing technicians to quickly trace connections during troubleshooting. The tin-plated terminals also withstand the workshop’s oily, dusty environment, avoiding corrosion that would degrade signal quality for the GE IC695CPU310 RX3I CPU.

In mid-sized water treatment facilities, the GE IC698ACC701 links the GE IC698CHS009 chassis to a IC695PWR240 power supply and 6 valve actuators. Its wide operating temperature range (-20°C to 85°C) withstands cold winter pump house conditions, while its 300 V AC/DC rating ensures safe handling of auxiliary power for actuators. The GE IC698ACC701’s centralized ground terminal also reduces electrical noise in IC695ALG808-AA turbidity sensor data, improving the accuracy of water quality monitoring.

Installation, Commissioning and Maintenance Instructions

Installation preparation: Before installing GE IC698ACC701 on GE IC698CHS009 (or compatible chassis), power off the chassis and disconnect external devices (e.g., IC695PWR120). Required tools include a Phillips-head screwdriver (size #2, torque wrench capable of 0.2–0.4 N·m) and wire stripper (for 22–14 AWG wire). Verify the chassis mounting surface is clean and free of debris to ensure proper alignment.

Installation and maintenance: Align GE IC698ACC701’s mounting holes with the GE IC698CHS009 chassis’s dedicated points, secure with included screws (torque to 0.3 N·m). Strip wires to 6 mm (0.24 in) length, insert into labeled terminals, and tighten screws to 0.2–0.4 N·m (avoid over-tightening to prevent terminal damage). For maintenance, inspect terminals quarterly: check for loose screws (retorque to 0.3 N·m if needed) and clean corrosion with a dry, lint-free cloth. Replace GE IC698ACC701 if terminals show signs of excessive wear (e.g., stripped threads) to maintain reliable connections.
