Main Features and Advantages
Wide Input Voltage Compatibility
The GE IC698PSA350 can handle input voltages ranging from 85 – 264 VAC and 100 – 150 VDC. This wide range makes it suitable for use in different regions and industrial setups with varying power supply standards. It can seamlessly adapt to both standard and non – standard power sources, reducing the need for additional voltage conversion equipment.
High – Capacity Output
With a maximum output power of 350 W, it can power multiple components simultaneously. The individual output currents of 60 A for +5 VDC, 12 A for +12 VDC, and 4 A for – 12 VDC are sufficient to drive a wide variety of industrial devices, including high – power sensors, actuators, and PLC modules. This high – capacity output ensures that the entire RX7i system has an adequate and stable power supply.
Built – in Protection Mechanisms
Featuring built – in over – heat, over – voltage protection, and air – flow protection, the IC698PSA350 safeguards itself and the connected components. In case of overheating, the over – heat protection will activate to prevent damage to the module. The over – voltage protection guards against sudden voltage spikes, while the air – flow protection, in combination with a 70 CFM forced – air – cooling fan below the system chassis, ensures that the module operates within a safe temperature range even in demanding environments.
Easy Installation
Designed to be installed in the 0 – slot of the RX7i rack, the IC698PSA350 has a straightforward installation process. Its physical design and mounting mechanism allow for quick and secure installation. The module also comes with LED status indicators such as “Field OK”, “Output OK”, and “Over – Temp”, which help operators easily monitor its operational status.

Application Field
In manufacturing industries, the GE IC698PSA350 is extensively used to power automated production lines. It provides the necessary power for PLCs that control robotic arms, conveyor belts, and other machinery. For example, in an automotive manufacturing plant, it powers the control systems that manage the precise movements of robotic arms during car assembly, ensuring high – quality production.
In the energy sector, power plants rely on the IC698PSA350 to power their control systems. Whether it’s a gas – fired power plant or a hydroelectric facility, this power module ensures that the sensors monitoring temperature, pressure, and flow, as well as the actuators controlling valves and turbines, receive a stable power supply. This is crucial for maintaining the efficient and safe operation of the power generation process.
For industrial automation projects, the IC698PSA350 is often chosen due to its high – capacity power output. It can support large – scale automation systems that integrate multiple subsystems, such as those found in food and beverage production, where it powers the control systems for filling, packaging, and quality – control processes.
